"He was supposed to have said it in a private conversation in 1956. (1956!!)"
So ***** what Keith - you went through somersaults and finally landed on "he said it but he didn't mean it"
Go off and find one of your "real historians" who sell their books in "real bookshops" to show us he didn't say it - it's a world-wide, well known quote which has never been denied by anyone other than you.
Are you insane to take it on yourself to deny a quote from someone like Ben Gurion?
Of course they stole Arab lands and are still stealing it, and are slaughtering men women and children in order to do so - or maybe that's another myth!!!!!
What are you on Keith - atrocity-denial overdrive, it would appear
Sheeesh!!
