They are the founding principles of the Israeli state put forth by its founding leader (w the exception of the last one).<BR/><BR/><BR/>"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."<BR/>- David Ben Gurion, Founder of Israel<BR/><BR/><BR/>"We must do everything to ensure they [the Palestinian refugees] never do return"<BR/>- David Ben Gurion, Founder of Israel<BR/><BR/><BR/>"If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?"<BR/>-David Ben Gurion, Founder of Israel<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."<BR/>- Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, 1969Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31569376.post-35036308066266136602007-04-15T13:15:00.000-07:002007-04-15T13:15:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
