Citati cionističkih čelnika

Neki citati izraelskih cionističkih čelnika koji potvrđuju da cionisti od samog početka i cijelo vrijeme vode politiku etničkog čišćenja u Palestini.


DAVID BEN GURION
Prime Minister of Israel 1949 - 1954, 1955 – 1963

"We must expel Arabs and take their places."
-- David Ben Gurion, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985.

"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?"
-- Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paradoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.

"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."
-- David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p. 99.

"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country."
-- David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky's Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan's "Zionism and the Palestinians” pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

"If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, an only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel."
-- David Ben-Gurion (Quoted on pp 855-56 in Shabtai Teveth's Ben-Gurion in a slightly different translation).


GOLDA MEIR
Prime Minister of Israel 1969 – 1974

"There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."
-- Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969.

"How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to."
-- Golda Meir, March 8, 1969.

"Anyone who speaks in favor of bringing the Arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of Israel. It is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: We shall not let this happen."
-- Golda Meir, 1961, in a speech to the Knesset, reported in Ner, October 1961

"This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy."
-- Golda Meir, Le Monde, 15 October 1971


YITZHAK RABIN
Prime Minister of Israel 1974 - 1977, 1992 - 1995

"We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, 'What is to be done with the Palestinian population?' Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!'"
-- Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979.

"[Israel will] create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat."
-- Yitzhak Rabin (a "Prince of Peace" by Clinton standards), explaining his method of ethnically cleansing the occupied land without stirring a world outcry. (Quoted in David Shipler in the New York Times, 04/04/1983 citing Meir Cohen's remarks to the Knesset's foreign affairs and defense committee on March 16.)


MENACHEM BEGIN
Prime Minister of Israel 1977 - 1983

"[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs."
-- Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the 'Beasts,"' New Statesman, June 25, 1982.

"The Partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized ... Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever."
-- Menachem Begin, the day after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine.


YIZHAK SHAMIR
Prime Minister of Israel 1983 - 1984, 1986 - 1992

"The past leaders of our movement left us a clear message to keep Eretz Israel from the Sea to the River Jordan for future generations, for the mass aliya (=Jewish immigration), and for the Jewish people, all of whom will be gathered into this country."
-- Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir declares at a Tel Aviv memorial service for former Likud leaders, November 1990. Jerusalem Domestic Radio Service.

"The settlement of the Land of Israel is the essence of Zionism. Without settlement, we will not fulfill Zionism. It's that simple."
-- Yitzhak Shamir, Maariv, 02/21/1997.

"(The Palestinians) would be crushed like grasshoppers ... heads smashed against the boulders and walls."
-- Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) Yitzhak Shamir in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988


BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
Prime Minister of Israel 1996 - 1999

"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories."
-- Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former Prime Minister of Israel, speaking to students at Bar Ilan University, from the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989.


EHUD BARAK
Prime Minister of Israel 1999 – 2001

"The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more"…
-- Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000. Reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000

"If we thought that instead of 200 Palestinian fatalities, 2,000 dead would put an end to the fighting at a stroke, we would use much more force..."
-- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, quoted in Associated Press, November 16, 2000.

"I would have joined a terrorist organization."
-- Ehud Barak's response to Gideon Levy, a columnist for the Ha'aretz newspaper, when Barak was asked what he would have done if he had been born a Palestinian.


ARIEL SHARON
Prime Minister of Israel 2001 - 2006

"It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands."
-- Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.

"Everybody has to move, run and grab as many (Palestinian) hilltops as they can to enlarge the (Jewish) settlements because everything we take now will stay ours... Everything we don't grab will go to them."
-- Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of the Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, Nov. 15, 1998.

"Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial."
-- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, 25 March, 2001 quoted in BBC News Online

Palestina/Izrael:
Interior Ministry's Oz police unit accused of beating U.S. immigrants
Izraelska policija pretukla afroameričke preobraćenike na judaizam
Izraelska je policija verbalno i fizički napala članove jedne afroameričke obitelji iz Kansas Cityja, koji su se prije nekoliko godina preobratili na judaizam, te potom podnijeli zahtjev za dobivanjem izraelskog državljanstva i trenutno u gradu Aškelonu čekaju njegovo rješenje. Prema tvrdnjama napadnute obitelji i svjedoka, policija je mislila da se radi o ilegalnim useljenicima, te obitelj vrijeđala rasističkim uvredama i fizički napala njene članove uključujući trudnicu i 1-godišnje dijete, te još jednu ženu. Otac je pretučen i pritvoren, no kasnije je pušten na slobodu kad je policija utvrdila da ima ispravnu i važeću vizu, a trudnica je završila u bolnici. Policija je neuvjerljivo poricala optužbe napadnute obitelji, te tvrdi da nije bilo primjene sile ni vrijeđanja od strane policije, već da je obitelj napala i vrijeđala policiju. No, kad je majka trudnice, koja je i sama bila napadnuta, slijedećeg jutra otišla u policijsku postaju u Aškelonu kako bi zbog ovog incidenta podnijela prijavu protiv policije, tamošnji su je policajci nazvali lažljivicom i odbili zaprimiti njenu prijavu.

Israeli army opens investigation into use of 16-year-old girl as human shield
Izraelska vojska pokrenula istragu uporabe 16-godišnje djevojke kao ljudskog štita (21. listopad 2010.)
Izraelska je vojna policija pokrenula istragu slučaja u kojem je izraelska vojska u veljači 2010. jednu 16-godišnju djevojku iz Nablusa koristila kao živi štit. Korištenje civila kao ljudskih štitova zabranjeno je prema međunarodnom, ali i izraelskom domaćem pravu. Palestinska nevladina organizacija za prava djeteta DCI-Palestine je od travnja 2004. do danas dokumentirala 15 slučajeva u kojima su palestinska djeca u dobi između 9 i 17 godina korištena kao ljudski štitovi od strane izraelskih okupacijskih snaga. Tek je u jednom (onom u kojem je kao ljudski štit korišteno 9-godišnje dijete) od ovih 15 slučajeva prijava rezultirala osudom odgovornih vojnika, dok je u samo još jednom slučaju pokrenuta istraga. U ostalim dokumentiranim slučajevima korištenja djece kao ljudskih štitova izraelske vlasti na temelju zaprimljenih prijava nisu poduzele nikakve akcije.

Iraq War Logs: Secret Files Show How US Ignored Torture
The new logs detail how:
- US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and even murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and normally unpunished.
- A US helicopter gunship involved in a notorious Baghdad incident had previously killed Iraqi insurgents after they tried to surrender.
- More than 15,000 civilians died in previously unknown incidents. US and UK officials have insisted that no official record of civilian casualties exists but the logs record 66,081 non-combatant deaths out of a total of 109,000 fatalities.
The numerous reports of detainee abuse, often supported by medical evidence, describe prisoners shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles, and subjected to whipping, punching, kicking or electric shocks. Six reports end with a detainee's apparent death.

„Palestine Think Tank“ – antisemitski i antipalestinski site

aktivisti Gaza Freedom Marcha u Kairu

Drage i dragi moji,

Dužna sam svima jednu ispriku i upozorenje: Ispričavam se što sam povremeno (doduše vrlo rijetko, jer sam brzo postala svjesna loše kvalitete, antisemitizma i notorne gluposti u mnogim tekstovima koji se tamo objavljuju, a naročito kod nekih od njihovih autora – i taj site nikad nije dobio mjesto među izdvojenim linkovima sa strane na blogu upravo iz tog razloga) linkala na poneki članak objavljen na portalu „Palestine Think Tank“.

„Palestine Think Tank“ je antisemitski portal koji pokušava diskreditirati globalni pokret solidarnosti s Palestincima, na način da objavljuje tekstove i druge radove nekih od istaknutih vođa i pristaša tog pokreta, rame uz rame s ispraznim i nekvalitetnim, ali zato antisemitskim tekstovima koje piše klika antisemitskih bezveznjaka (ili prikrivenih cionističkih bezveznjaka-plaćenika koji otvoreno podupiru i pokazuju svoj antisemitizam istovremeno se pretvarajući da imaju neke veze s pravednom borbom palestinskog naroda za slobodu i ravnopravnost) koja se okupila na tom portalu, odnosno osnovala ga. Njihov cilj je zaglupiti i dezinformirati čitatelje, ali i sabotirati borbu Palestinaca za pravedan mir i slobodu.

Posljednji biseri s „Palestine Think Tanka“, u kojima se napadaju aktivisti Gaza Freedom Marcha i Viva Palestine, a brani egipatska policijska država (čak se pozivaju Gaza Freedom March i Viva Palestina da se ispričaju Egiptu), konačno dokazuju da se ne radi samo o antisemitskom siteu (što je samo po sebi dovoljno da ga svatko normalan, a naročito oni čiji je cilj doista pomoći Palestincima, odbaci i osudi), već o siteu čiji je cilj diskreditirati i sabotirati globalni pokret solidarnosti s Palestincima.

Zato svim dobronamjernim prijateljima Palestinaca, ljudskih prava, ravnopravnosti i pravednog mira u Palestini/Izraelu, ali i šire preporučam da u širokom luku zaobilaze taj portal (kao i svaki drugi antisemitski, rasistički i slične portale mržnje) i ne nasjedaju njihovoj sabotaži. Bez obzira na naziv, radi se zapravo o antisemitskom i antipalestinskom siteu. (Cenzuriraju i komentare čitatelja, tako da većinom ispada kao da se svi s njima slažu. Istina je pak da komentare koji ih kritiziraju ne objavljuju, iako u drugim prilikama neki od njih gorljivo „podržavaju“ „slobodu govora“ fašista i antisemita.)

Na ovom se linku može pročitati odlična analiza jednog od njihovih nedavnih nebuloznih napada na aktiviste koji su u Kairu prosvjedovali protiv ilegalne blokade Pojasa Gaze i na VIVA PALESTINA konvoj, koji je izanalizirao Tony Greenstein, anticionistički britanski aktivist za mir i pravdu u Palestini/Izraelu i ljudska prava Palestinaca:
Mary Rizzo's 'Palestine Think Tank' Supports the Egyptian Regime's Attack on Gaza

Osim što je sam po sebi, baš kao i svaki drugi rasizam, neprihvatljiv, antisemitizam je naročito štetan za one koji žele pomoći Palestincima u postizanju njihovih prava. Na linku možete pročitati još jedan članak o štetnosti antisemitizma za pokret solidarnosti s Palestincima koji je također napisao Tony Greenstein (a u kojem se također prokazuju neki od aktualnih antisemitskih samoprozvanih „podržavatelja“ (čitaj: cionističkih saboterskih agenata) Palestinaca i njihove borbe za oslobođenje, ljudska prava i ravnopravnost:
Why Palestinian Solidarity Activists Must Reject Anti-Semitism

The boy in the rubble and Gaza's Tour of Horror
Hours after I saw him, I still feel the stare of the boy on the rubble – the boy who is not playful with us because he's angry, he's tired and he's homeless. His stare haunts me because I know that he knows. He knows the reason he won't have a home by next winter is because the international community has allowed the siege of Gaza, an illegal and morally reprehensible blockade to continue with barely a comment from our political leaders. UN Human Rights Rapporteur for Palestine, Richard Falk says that because there has been no meaningful international pressure coming from Governments it is up to civil society, you and me, to step in. There are many reasons we should step in, because of the 288 children killed last year, the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe caused by the siege, the physical and mental trauma of the population, but also for the boy in the rubble. The boy in the rubble is waiting. Until he feels some hope he will maintain his defiant stance, his challenging stare. He wants to be playful again, but he's waiting for us to end the silence that has left his community in a state of constant struggle. This little boy from Gaza city, living in a tent surrounded by the rubble where his house used to be, folds his arms and stares in our direction because he is waiting for us to act. May his eyes haunt us until we do.

Viva Palestina Convoy Arrives in Gaza

Gaza and the path to accountability
In September 2009, the UN-mandated Goldstone report on Israel's invasion was released. Placing the treatment of civilian populations at the heart of the investigation, Judge Richard Goldstone, who was the Prosecutor for the International Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, found Israel's attack on Gaza (as well as specific actions by Palestinian groups, including Hamas) to amount to war crimes. The Israelis refused to cooperate with the Goldstone mission, unlike the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas. Public hearings were held in Gaza. The Goldstone report called for credible independent internal investigations of Israel's actions in Gaza which included: the deliberate bombing of civilian sites (including the Palestinian Legislative Council building, a Gaza prison, two hospitals, shelters and houses); the killing of civilian police forces; the use of mortars to hit "armed" Palestinian groups in the vicinity of large numbers of civilians; the destruction of food production factories, of water and sewage treatment facilities; and the direct killing of civilians. All were deemed violations of international law. In the absence of such independent investigations, the report called for the matter to proceed to the International Criminal Court. In light of Israel's refusal to cooperate with its mission, the Goldstone report unequivocally stated its "support for reliance on universal jurisdiction" as an avenue for further investigation and action on "grave breaches" of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and to "prevent immunity and promote international accountability." Israel rejected the report's findings, accusing Judge Goldstone -- a Zionist and strong supporter of Israel -- of anti-Israel bias. Other supporters of the report were likewise attacked as being anti-Semitic. The US ambassador to the UN, Dr. Susan Rice, admonished the report's authors, and the US House of Representatives voted 344 to 36 to call on the Obama Administration to reject it. The Obama Administration has maintained this position and also exerted immense pressure on the Palestinian Authority to withdraw the report from consideration at the General Assembly of the UN. Neither the UK nor Canada supported the Goldstone report.

Gaza Freedom March marches in Cairo against blockade
Late in the evening, hundreds of Gaza Freedom March delegates gathered once again in the open plaza in front of al-Mogama to hold a candlelight vigil to celebrate the new year. They held candles and arranged more candles on the pavement to create the luminous word "Gaza" within a circle. Individuals spontaneously began passing out sweets. The novelty of this action was immensely popular with Egyptian passersby who joined in the hundreds, swelling the crowd. Then plainclothes police moved in to filter out and sweep away all Egyptian nationals. A double-row contingent of the Central Security Force also moved in, until senior commanders were told to back off, removing the contingent to a distant corner of the plaza. The state itself held no official new year festivity, as if fearing that it would turn into a spontaneous protest for Gaza and against the policies of the Mubarak regime.

Unbreakable in Cairo
As I crossed the street to get to the mass of protesters and police, I saw the police building their barricade around protesters who were trying to stage a symbolic march to Gaza. A woman about 60 years old was resisting the police who were forcibly trying to barricade her. I saw Egyptian police forces drag and beat her in the street and at the time, my reflex was to photograph the abuse. While pressing up against the commotion and shooting countless pictures, I made eye contact with one of the officers. Immediately, four men jumped on me and held me down. One of the officers covered my eyes with his hands, while other officers beat me and pried my camera out of the cage I was creating around it with my body. They told me they were going to shatter my camera in the street and I started a desperate plea with the officers to return it to me and let me leave. As I tried to get up, my hair was pulled and I was back on the ground. The officers eventually returned my camera after taking my memory card and threw me on to a pile of protesters inside the barricades.
