Israeli president Moshe Katsav. The Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2001

9. David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): "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?" Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.

"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." Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department.

Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot Aahronot, of 14 July 1972.

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

Housewife,
While it may be true that some; and I mean SOME, Israelites fall into the category of hate, they are by no means the vast majority of the citizens of Israel. Most of us want nothing more than to live in peace and tranquility. To live free of senseless murder at the hands of fanatics and free to worship God as is our tradition. It seems that those who speak out against this type of peace forget that we lived here for more than a thousand years prior to being forced from our Homeland (Eretz Israel) by the Romans some 1900 years ago. When it was time to return we were told that we had no right to exist as a nation and that a population of nomads was to lay claim to what was ours. How are we to feel when we are told these things? How are we to respond when our children are killed by another teenage child wearing a bomb vest? What mother told that child that it was okay to destroy life instead of going to school and trying to learn ways to take him places in life? Is this type of behavior okay? Was it right for the Moslem Imams to build a monument to Mohammed on the site of the Holy Jewish Temple? Especially since Mohammed NEVER set foot in Jerusalem. Are you going to advocate peace from BOTH sides or just sit and condemn Israel like the rest of the world. I contend that the hate on either side is wrong but also defend the right of Israel to exist in peace.

Anonymous,

According to the Talmud, that there is not suppose to be a State of Israel unless it is by God’s command, not by human force. I do realize that in Israel you are being taught something completely different then the original precepts of the Talmud and from what I have seen a lot of the Torah .

You need a great change in the Israeli government policies because to date it is a representation not of peace; but to the contrary. Especially with the military operations that keep going on in Gaza and the West Bank. This has became a huge black eye for Israel, because it is a further example that no peace is to be achieved by this side.

You speak of the suicide bombings, while I am not in agreement with this, I must admit with the above operations, you have brought this on yourself. Because when you attack someone, if they are worth their salt they will defend themselves in some manner and I wish it wasn‘t with these type‘s of bombings.

Your people originally lost the first occupation by the Roman’s, because you was creating again offenses against God, if you do not believe me, read deep into your own history. Their was a time when even your own Rabbi’s in Jerusalem spoke of this very situation in history.

I will also tell you, that there is a considerable amount’s of information being told to you about the Palestinian’s is not true.

What you need to rethink and you may not have been told this that when the Zionist landed in the country known as Palestine, it was as a military invasion not for a peaceful existence with the indigenous people already living there; but with the sole idea of extermination.

As for your idea about the “Jewish temple,” what you also may not know is that the people you are fighting is your cousins and you do need to study true Islamic history, by this you will have a better understanding of a lot of questions I am sure you are asking yourself.

As for a united peace, this is important for all concerned and not what we have been seeing since; about 1889.

As for the right of Israel to exist is by God, not man and for this you will perish similar or worse then you did at the hands of the Roman’s, because both times the Jewish people went against God. I am not saying this animosity, but fact.

Finally from I know from your history so far none of your political policies, nor by your example has anything seemed to have changed from the days of your forefather’s.

I do hope, I answered everything that you have asked me.
