" 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?" -- David Ben Gurion
"It is not true that Arabs hate Jews for personal, religious, or racial reasons. They see us, rightly from their point of view, as Westerners, foreigners, and even invaders who seized and Arab country to create a Jewish state...Since we are obliged to achieve our aims against the wishes of the Arabs, we must live in a permanent war." -- Moshe Dayan |
