We view them like donkeys. They don't care. They accept it with love.
An Ashkenazi gangster, thief, pimp or murderer will not gain the sympathy of the Ashkenazi community (if there is such a thing), nor will he expect it. But in such a primitive community as the Marrocans - such a thing is possible…
We must do everything to insure they never do return.
What is necessary is cruel and strong reactions. We need precision in time, place, and casualties. If we know the family, we must strike mercilessly, women and children included. Otherwise, the reaction is inefficient. At the place of action, there is no need to distinguish between guilty and innocent.
They [Palestinians in a future Israel] can either be mass arrested or expelled; it's better to expel them.
The purchase was accompanied, interestingly, by transfer of population... by this [act] we will reduce the number of Arabs [in Palestine].
The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.
It [democracy in Palestine] does not take into consideration the superiority of the Jews over the Arabs, meaning the fundamental qualitative difference between Jews and Arabs.
The Jewish Question exists wherever Jews live in perceptible numbers. Where it does not exist, it is carried by Jews in the course of their migrations. We naturally move to those places where we are not persecuted, and there our presence produces persecution. This is the case in every country, and will remain so, even in those highly civilized- for instance, France- until the Jewish question finds a solution on a political basis. The unfortunate Jews are now carrying the seeds of Anti-Semitism into England; they have already introduced it into America.
Liars, whiners, disgusting stinky losers. They walk with flip-flops! Repulsive. Really, repulsive people. There's nothing human about it. But it's amazing how the world is able not to see it.
This sweeping compassion, like "we're all human beings?" No! No! People are the fruit of education they are raised on. And if they raise you like a vermin, that's what you'll become: a gutter vermin. Disgusting rapist. A human that is filth, son of filth.
I'm a Palestinian. From `21 until `48, I carried a Palestinian passport.
My soul yearns for the dowry, and to let someone else take the bride.
Palestine cannot absorb the Jews of Europe. We want only the best of Jewish youth to come to us. We want only the educated to enter Palestine for the purpose of increasing its culture. The other Jews will have to stay where they are and face whatever fate awaits them. These millions of Jews are dust on the wheels of history and they may have to be blown away. We don’t want them pouring into Palestine. We don’t want Tel Aviv to become another low-grade ghetto.
Each country can absorb only a limited number of Jews, if she doesn’t want disorders
If I knew that it was possible to save all the (Jewish) children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the fate of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.
We have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?
Both humanitarian aid to Hamas and a demand for arrest warrants against state leaders. The Hague teaches the State of Israel anew the concept of both eating the putrid fish and being expelled from the city. I call to announce an immediate halt to humanitarian aid to Hamas and to boycott the deliberation in The Hague, which condemned us, beforehand, with illegitimate rules.
There were 200 villages [in the front] and these are gone. We had to destroy them, otherwise we would have had Arabs [in the southern part of Palestine] as we have in the Galilee. We would have had another million Palestinians.
Our thought is that the colonization of Palestine has to go in two directions: Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel and the resettlement of the Arabs of Eretz Israel in areas outside the country.
I think you are all totally ignorant in your Ramat Yochanan [a training base of the Haganah] since you do not even know the elementary use of bayonets when attacking dirty Arabs: how can you put your left foot in front!
It is our right to transfer the Arabs.
We're racist because we want to preserve our lives and our sanity. So I'm proud to be a racist! And it's our right to racist!
No one will give us this country. In order to take it, we must rely on our own strength.
On the day I arrived at the Gaza Strip I saw a crowded area, full of people, elderly, children, youth. From my perspective they were all militants, they were all terrorists. They need to be annihilated. That's what I thought.
Human life is more important here. There, people die to be martyrs. They are born to die... The entire generation (of Israelis) that experienced October 7th will grow up to hate Arabs. I am 22 years old and this is my problem and that of this entire generation.
The obvious key to the success of Arab strategy is the presence, in the disputed territories of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River, of Palestinian Arabs, people who breed and bleed and advertise their misery.
The Arabs have always required a refugee problem, for unless the Palestinians were visibly there to be “resettled” in their former homes, there would be no basis for protesting Israel’s existence
We must expel Arabs and take their places...and, if we have to use force-not to dispossess the Arabs of the Negev and Transjordan, but to guarantee our own right to settle in those places-then we have force at our disposal.
The compulsory transfer of the [Palestinian] Arabs from the valleys of the proposed Jewish state could give us something which we never had, even when we stood on our own during the days of the first and second Temples. We are given an opportunity which we never dared to dream of in our wildest imaginings. This is more than a state, government and sovereignty, this is national consolidation in a free homeland.
In many parts of the country new settlement will not be possible without transferring the [Palestinian] Arab fellahin. it is important that this plan comes from the [British Peel] Commission and not from us. Jewish power, which grows steadily, will also increase our possibilities to carry out the transfer on a large scale.
With compulsory transfer we [would] have a vast area [for settlement]. I support compulsory transfer. I don't see anything immoral in it.
Just as I do not see the proposed Jewish state as a final solution to the problems of the Jewish people, so I do not see partition as the final solution of the Palestine question. Those who reject partition are right in their claim that this country cannot be partitioned because it constitutes one unit, not only from a historical point of view but also from that of nature and economy
After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the [Jewish] state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of the Palestine
[the indigenous population was akin to] the rocks of Judea, as obstacles that had to be cleared on a difficult path.
We have forgotten that we have not come to an empty land to inherit it, but we have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it
The [Palestinian] Arab reaction would be negative because they would lose everything and gain almost nothing ...They would lose the richest part of Palestine; they would lose major Arab assets, the orange plantations, the commercial and industrial centers and the most important sources of revenue for their government which would become impoverished; they would lose most of the coastal area, which would also be a loss to the hinterland Arab states...It would mean that they would be driven back to the desert.
With regard to the refugees, we are determined to be adamant while the war lasts. Once the return tide starts, it will be impossible to stem it, and it will prove our undoing. As for the future, we are equally determined to explore all possibilities of getting rid, once and for all, of the huge [Palestinian] Arab minority [referring to the Palestinian Israeli citizens of Israel] which originally threatened us. What can be achieved in this period of storm and stress [referring to the 1948 war] will be quite unattainable once conditions get stabilized.
...the transfer of [Palestinian] Arab population from the area of the Jewish state does not serve only one aim--to diminish the Arab population. It also serves a second, no less important, aim which is to advocate land presently held and cultivated by the [Palestinian] Arabs and thus to release it for Jewish inhabitants.
It must be clear that there is no room in the country for both peoples...If the Arabs leave it, the country will become wide and spacious for us...The only solution is a Land of Israel...without Arabs...There is no way but to transfer the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them, save perhaps for [the Palestinian Arabs of] Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the old Jerusalem. Not one village must be left, not one tribe.
Once again I come face to face with the land settlement difficulties that emanate from the existence of two people in close proximity...only population transfer and evacuating this country so it would become exclusively for us is the solution.
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...There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab Population.
We shoot at those from among the 200,000 hungry Arabs who cross the line [to graze their flocks]...Arabs cross to collect the grain that they left in the abandoned villages and we set mines for them and they go back without an arm or a leg. [It may be that this] cannot pass review, but I know no other method of guarding the borders.
Let us not today fling accusation at the murderers. What cause have we to complain about their fierce hatred to us. For eight years now, they sit in their refugee camps in Gaza, and before their eyes we turn into our homestead the land and villages in which they and their forefathers have lived...We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves...Let us make our reckoning today. We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and gun barrel, we shall not be able to plant a tree or build a house.
The confidence of thousands of Arabs of the Hula [Valley] was shaken...We had only five days left...until 15 May [1948]. We regarded it as imperative to cleanse the interior of the Galilee and create Jewish territorial continuity in the whole of the Upper Galilee...I gathered the Jewish mukhtars [Kibbutz chiefs], who had ties with the different Arab villages, and I asked them to whisper in the ears of several Arabs that a giant Jewish reinforcement had reached the Galilee and were about to clean out the villages of Hula, [and] to advise them as friends, to flee while they could. And rumour spread throughout Hula that the time had come to flee. The flight encompassed tens of thousands. The stratagem fully achieved its objective.
There is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands.
I don't think it's possible to contain over the long term, if we don't want to get to apartheid, a million and a half Arabs inside a Jewish state.
We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country ... expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.
We must expel the Arabs and take their place.
The only solution is a Land of Israel devoid of Arabs. There is no room here for compromise. They must all be moved. Not one village, not one tribe can remain. Only through this transfer of the Arabs living in the Land of Israel will redemption come.
