Israeli madness in Gaza: Same old game

Israeli madness in Gaza: Same old game
6/29/2006 2:18:00 PM GMT

Arabs across the Middle East slammed the Israeli government for the
latest barbarous incursion by its invading army into Gaza, said to be
aimed at stepping up the pressure on Palestinian resistance fighters to
release one of its soldiers kidnapped earlier this week.

Massive airstrikes and sonic booms yesterday forced hundreds of Gaza
families to abandon their homes seeking safe shelter, as thousands of
Israeli troops backed by tanks penetrated the impoverished coastal
strip.

Earlier this month the Israeli forces shelled a Gaza beach, wiping out
an entire Palestinian family, yet they denied being responsible.

When the Palestinians responded to recent atrocities committed by
kidnapping an Israeli soldier, the Jewish army intensified its madness,
moving into Gaza, destroying what is left of the city it claimed to
have withdrawn from last August.

The Israeli forces moreover detained more than one-third of the
Hamas-led Palestinian cabinet, further complicating the situation.

The latest Israeli incursion into Gaza, the first large-scale ground
offensive since Israel withdrew from Gaza last year proves that the
policy of barbarism is the policy Israel has been pursing over the past
fifty years.

Listed below are just a few evidences:

"There is a huge gap between us (Jews) and our enemies ­not just in
ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life, and conscience.

"They are our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few
hundred meters away, there are people who do not belong to our
continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy."

David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): "If I were an Arab

"We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash
Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the
Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall

Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and
move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai." David Ben-Gurion,
May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by

population." Israel Koenig, "The Koenig Memorandum"

"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." Moshe Dayan, address to the
Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969.

"There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a
high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our
surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that
it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a
neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter
view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the
character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a
non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this
fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary."

Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri Davis, p.5.

"Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to

"It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion,

Arabs and the expropriation of their lands." Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot
Aahronot, of 14 July 1972.

"Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it

poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly." Theodore Herzl,
founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of
Palestine,Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." -- Rabbi Yaacov
Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [Source: N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]

"We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing
you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy
because we want a world of our own." (You Gentiles, by Jewish Author
Maurice Samuels, p. 155).

"We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only
question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or
consent." (Jewish Banker Paul Warburg, February 17, 1950, as he
testified before the U.S. Senate).

"We will establish ourselves in Palestine whether you like it or
not...You can hasten our arrival or you can equally retard it. It is
however better for you to help us so as to avoid our constructive
powers being turned into a destructive power which will overthrow the
world." (Chaim Weizmann, Published in "Judische Rundschau," No. 4,
1920)
