Subject: RE: BS: Israel's Sharpville
"Since 77% of the land originally granted to the Jewish people for their homeland was taken away from them and given to Arabs and Gaza "
Wonder why the Father of Israel, David Ben Gurion said:
"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?"
"Under no circumstances must we touch land belonging to fellahs or worked by them. Only if a fellah leaves his place of settlement, should we offer to buy his land, at an appropriate price."

Before our pet atrocity denier denies that Ben Gurion said this,
Ben Gurion said this in an it was from a ninterview he gave to Nahum Goldman a leading Zionist and the founder and longtime president of the World Jewish Congress.

He also said

"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.

A confession, if I ever saw one
