1 It is Palestine not "Israel" 1. Jabotinsky: Has any People ever been seen to give up their territory of their own free will? In the same way, the Arabs of <u>palestine</u> will not renounce their sovereignty without violence. - Vladimir Jabotinsky 2. Jabotinsky: <u>colonization</u> carries its own explanation, the only possible explanation, unalterable and as clear as daylight to every ordinary Jew and every ordinary Arab. <u>colonization</u> can have only one aim, and <u>palestine</u> Arabs cannot accept this aim. It lies in the very nature of things, and in this particular regard nature cannot be changed. 3. Jabotinsky: In the second place, this does not mean that there cannot be any agreement with the <u>palestine</u> Arabs. What is impossible is a voluntary agreement. As long as the Arabs feel that there is the least hope of getting rid of us, they will refuse to give up this hope in return for either kind words or for bread and butter, because they are not a rabble, but a living people. And when a living people yields in matters of such a vital character it is only when there is no longer any hope of getting rid of us, because they can make no breach in the iron wall. 4. Jabotinsky: But that does not mean that the Arab people of <u>palestine</u> as a whole will sell that fervent patriotism that they guard so jealously, and which even the Papuans will never sell. Every native population in the world resists <u>colonists</u> as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being <u>colonize</u>d. That is what the Arabs in <u>palestine</u> are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of
2 <u>palestine</u> into the "Land of Israel." 5. Jabotinsky: There can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the <u>palestine</u> Arabs. Not now, nor in the prospective future.... it is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the <u>palestine</u> Arabs for converting <u>palestine</u> from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority. 6. Jabotinsky: There is no justification for such a belief. It may be that some individual Arabs take bribes. But that does not mean that the Arab people of <u>palestine</u> as a whole will sell that fervent patriotism that they guard so jealously, and which even the Papuans will never sell. Every native population in the world resists <u>colonists</u> as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised. That is what the Arabs in <u>palestine</u> are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of <u>palestin</u>e into the "Land of Israel." 7. Jabotinsky: This is equally true of the Arabs. Our Peace-mongers are trying to persuade us that the Arabs are either fools, whom we can deceive by masking our real aims, or that they are corrupt and can be bribed to abandon to us their claim to priority in <u>palestine</u>, in return for cultural and economic advantages. I repudiate this conception of the <u>palestinian</u> Arabs. Culturally they are five hundred years behind us, they have neither our endurance nor our determination; but they are just as good psychologists as we are, and their minds have been sharpened like ours by centuries of fine-spun logomachy. We may tell them whatever we like about the innocence of our aims, watering them down and sweetening
3 them with honeyed words to make them palatable, but they know what we want, as well as we know what they do not want. They feel at least the same instinctive jealous love of <u>palestine</u>, as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico, and the Sioux for their rolling Prairies 8. Jabotinsky: We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the <u>palestinian</u> Arabs in return for <u>palestine</u>. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. 9. Jabotinsky: We may tell them whatever we like about the innocence of our aims, watering them down and sweetening them with honeyed words to make them palatable, but they know what we want, as well as we know what they do not want. They feel at least the same instinctive jealous love of <u>palestine</u>, as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico, and their Sioux for their rolling Prairies. To imagine, as our Arabophiles do, that they will voluntarily consent to the realisation of Zionism. In return for the moral and material conveniences which the Jewish <u>colonist</u> brings with him, is a childish notion, which has at bottom a kind of contempt for the Arab people; it means that they despise the Arab race, which they regard as a corrupt mob that can be bought and sold, and are willing to give up their fatherland for a good railway system. 10. Balfour 1917: "His Majesty s Government view with favor the establishment in <strong>palestine</strong> of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-jewish communities in <strong>palestine</strong>, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. " The Balfour Declaration to Baron
4 Rothchild, on the 2nd of November, Bible Exodus 15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of <b>palestina</b>. 12. Bible Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole <b>palestina</b>, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 13. Bible Isaiah 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole <b>palestina</b>, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 14. Bible Joel 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of <b>palestine</b>? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head. (King James version) 15. Bertrand Russell: No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of <strong>palestine</strong> to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? -- Bertrand Russell, British philosopher, mathematician, historian, social reformer, and pacifist, Bertrand Russell: The tragedy of the people of <strong>palestine</strong> is that their country was given by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their number have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? (This statement was dated 31st January, 1970, and he died on 2nd February 1970)
5 17. Chaim Weizmann: In its initial stage Zionism was conceived by its pioneers as a movement wholly depending on mechanical factors: there is a country which happens to be called <b>palestine</b>, a country without a people, and, on the other hand, there exists the Jewish people, and it has no country. What else is necessary, then, than to fit the gem into the ring, to unite this people with this country? The owners of the country [the Ottoman Turks?] must, therefore, be persuaded and convinced that this marriage is advantageous, not only for the [Jewish] people and for the country, but also for themselves. 18. Christopher Hitchens: In <b>palestine</b>, tread softly, for you tread on their dreams. And do not tell the Palestinians that they were never fallen upon and bruised in the first place. Do not shame yourself with the cheap lie that they were told by their leaders to run away. Also, stop saying that nobody knew how to cultivate oranges in Jaffa until the Jews showed them how. 'Making the desert bloom' one of Yvonne's stock phrases makes desert dwellers out of people who were the agricultural superiors of the Crusaders. Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir 19. Christopher Hitchens: Actually and this was where I began to feel seriously uncomfortable some such divine claim underlay not just 'the occupation' but the whole idea of a separate state for Jews in <b>palestine</b>. Take away the divine warrant for the Holy Land and where were you, and what were you? <b>just another land-thief like the Turks or the British, except that in this case you wanted the land without the people.</b> And the original Zionist slogan 'a land without a people for a people without a land' disclosed its own negation when I saw the densely populated Arab towns dwelling sullenly under Jewish tutelage. You want irony? How about Jews becoming colonizers at just the moment when other
6 Europeans had given up on the idea? 20. David Ben-Gurion: The present map of <strong>palestine</strong> was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strie to fulfill-from the Nile to the Euphrates. 21. Gandhi: And now a word to the Jews in <b>palestine</b>. I have no doubt that they are going about it in the wrong way. The <b>palestine</b> of the Biblical conception is not a geographical tract. It is in their hearts. But if they must look to the <b>palestine</b> of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in <b>palestine</b> only by the goodwill of the Arabs. They should seek to convert the Arab heart. The same God rules the Arab heart who rules the Jewish heart. They can offer satyagraha in front of the Arabs and offer themselves to be shot or thrown into the Dead Sea without raising a little finger against them. They will find the world opinion in their favour in their religious aspiration. There are hundreds of ways of reasoning with the Arabs, if they will only discard the help of the British bayonet. As it is, they are co-shares with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. 22. Gandhi: The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to <b>palestine</b>. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood? <b>palestine</b> belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England
7 belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in <b>palestine</b> today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that <b>palestine</b> can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home. The nobler course would be to insist on a just treatment of the Jews wherever they are born and bred. The Jews born in France are French. If the Jews have no home but <b>palestine</b>, will they relish the idea of being forced to leave the other parts of the world in which they are settled? Or do they want a double home where they can remain at will? This cry for the national home affords a colourable justification for the German expulsion of the Jews. 23. Gandhi: But, in my opinion, they (European Jews) have erred grievously in seeking to impose themselves on <b>palestine</b> with the aid of America and Britain and now with the aid of naked terrorism.... Why should they depend upon American money or British arms for forcing themselves on an unwelcome land? Why should they resort to terrorism to make good their forcible landing in <b>palestine</b>? July 14, Gandhi: All I contend is that they cannot possess <b>palestine</b> through a trick or a moral breach. <b>palestine</b> was not a stake in the War. The British Government could not dare have asked a single Muslim soldier to wrest control of <b>palestine</b> from fellow-muslims and give it to the Jews... By no canon of ethics or war, therefore, can <b>palestine</b> be given to the Jews as a result of the War. Either Zionists must revise their ideal about <b>palestine</b>, or, if Judaism permits the arbitrariment of war, engage in a holy war with the Muslims of the world with the Christians throwing in their influence on their side. March
8 23, Gandhi: <b>palestine</b> belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in <b>palestine</b> today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that <b>palestine</b> can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home. The nobler course would be to insist on a just treatment of the Jews wherever they are born and bred. The Jews born in France are French in precisely the same sense that Christians born in France are French. (Mahatma Gandhi, 26 November 1938) 26. Larry collins: For the Arabs, and the above all for the 1.2 million Arabs of <b>palestine</b>, the partitioning of the land in which they had been a majority for seven centuries seemed a monstrous injustice thrust upon them by white Western imperialism in expiation of a crime they had not committed. With few exceptions, the (Arab) Jewish people had dwelt in relative security among the Arabs over the centuries. The golden age of the Diaspora had come in the Spain of the caliphs, and the Ottoman Turks had welcomed the Jews when the doors of much of Europe were closed to them. The ghastly chain of crimes perpetrated on the Jewish people culminating in the crematoriums of Germany had been inflicted on them by the Christian nations of Europe, not those of the Islamic East, and it was on those nations, not theirs, the Arabs maintained, that the burden of those sins should fall. Beyond that, seven hundred years of continuous occupation seemed to the Arabs a far more valid claim to the land than the Jews' historic ties, however deep.? (Larry Collins, O Jerusalem)
9 27. Malcolm-X: Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab <b>palestine</b>, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the religious claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation... where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in <b>palestine</b>? 28. Mark Twain: Speaking of concentration, Dr. Herzl has a clear insight into the value of that. Have you heard of his plan? He wishes to gather the Jews of the world together in <strong>palestine</strong>, with a government of their own - under the suzerainty of the Sultan, I suppose. At the Convention of Berne, last year, there were delegates from everywhere, and the proposal was received with decided favor. I am not the Sultan, and I am not objecting; but if that concentration of the cunningest brains in the world were going to be made in a free country (bar Scotland), I think it would be politic to stop it. It will not be well to let the race find out its strength. If the horses knew theirs, we should not ride any more. (Mark Twain: Concerning The Jews, Harper's Magazine, March, 1898) 29. Ronnie Kasrils: The issue of <b>palestinian</b> refugees resonated with me because I myself was a refugee.... We came to the U.S. in August 1944 as part of a token group of about 1,000 mostly Jewish refugees... In 1987, when I read Simha Flapan's The Birth of Israel: Myths and Realities, I was so shocked and disbelieving that it took me a second reading of his book to come to terms with what he wrote at the outset: that the 1948 war was as needless and unnecessary for the security of Israel as was the
10 Israeli invasion of Lebanon of I learned that... the 1948 war was not defensive, but a war to gain more territory than the U.N. had allotted for the Jewish state and to cleanse the area of <b>palestinian</b> Arabs. I learned that even before the May 15 invasion by Arab armies, Jewish forces had succeeded in expelling some 300,000 <b>palestinians</b> from their homes, but another 400,000 <b>palestinians</b> remained in areas that the Jews coveted. Since the Jewish population of <b>palestine</b> in 1948 was only about 600,000, the Ben-Gurion leadership required war in order to rid the new Jewish state of most of its Arab population. (Ronald Bleier, November 1992) 30. Theodore Herzl: Without preparation, I told Newlinsky that we imagine that <strong>palestine</strong> would be given to us for 20 million. Two million would be given to <strong>palestine</strong> on the basis of the capitalisation of its present [1896] yield of 80,000 annually. With the other 18 million, we should free Turkey from the Control Commission.
