The Palestinians have only one goal in life, and that’s to destroy the Jewish people.

1. Excellent scholarship by Sebastien for locating this interview with Golda Meir and transcribing it here for us, with full bibliographic information’

   Golda seems to be talking off the cuff and here and there she gets some historical details wrong, But her review of the historical background of the Arab-Israel conflict is accurate over all. And the nature and essence of the conflict has remained just as it was in Golda’s day. The only change is that the military capabilities of the Arab terrorists have greatly increased.

2. “O.F.: Mrs. Meir, don’t you at least feel a little sorry for them?
   G:M.: Of course I do. But pity is not responsibility, and the responsibility for the Palestinians isn’t ours, it’s the Arabs’. We in Israel have absorbed about 1,400,000 Arab Jews from Iraq, from Yemen, from Egypt, from Syria, from North African countries like Morocco. People who when they got here were full of diseases and didn’t know how to do anything. Among the seventy thousand Jews who came here from Yemen, for example, there wasn’t a single doctor or a single nurse, and almost all of them had tuberculosis. And still we took them, we educated them, put them in clean houses, and turned them into farmers, doctors, engineers, teachers…Among the 150,000 Jews who came here from Iraq, there was only a very small group of intellectuals, and yet today, their children go to the university. Of course, we have problems with them-all that glitters is not gold- but the fact remains that we accepted and helped them. The Arabs, on the other hand, never do anything for their own people. They make use of them and that’s all.
   G.F.: Mrs, Meir, what if Israel let the Palestinian refugees come back here?
   G:M.: Impossible. for twenty years they’ve been fed on hatred for us; they can’t come back among us. Their children weren’t born here, they were born in the camps, and the only thing they know is that they must kill Israelis. “You have five Israelis.” You kill three of them. How may Israelis are left to be killed?” When you teach such things to children of seven or eight, there’s no more hope. Oh, it would be a great misfortune if there were no other solution for them but to return here! But there is a solution. It was demonstrated by the Jordanians when they gave them citizenship and called on them to build a country called Jordan. Yes, what Abdullah and Hussein did was much better than what the Egyptians did. But did you know that in the good old days in Jordan, Palestinians were holding office as prime minister and foreign minister? Did you know that after the partition of 1922, Jordan had only three hundred thousand Bedouins and that Palestinian refugees* were in the majority? [Weird passage. They weren’t refugees in 1922 and they weren’t calling themselves “Palestinians.” – SZ] Why didn’t they accept Jordan as their country, why…?
   O.F.: Because they don’t recognize themselves as Jordanians, Mrs. Meir. Because they say they are Palestinian and that their home is in Palestine not Jordan.
   G.M.: Then we have to understand what we mean by the word Palestine. We must remember that when England assumed the mandate over Palestine, Palestine was the land included between the Mediterranean and the borders of Iraq. This Palestine covered both banks of the Jordan, and was even governed by the same commissioner. Then in 1922 Churchill partitioned it, and the territory west of the Jordan became CisJordania and the territory east of the Jordan became Transjordannia. Two names for the same people. The same Palestine. Before liquidating Israel, Arafat should liquidate Hussein [another weird passage. He tried to in the early 70s. SZ] But Arafat is so ignorant. He doesn’t even know that at the end of the First World War, what now is Israel wasn’t called Palestine. It was called Southern Syria. And then…after all! If we must talk about refugees, I’ll remind you that for centuries the Jews were refugees par excellence! Dispersed in countries where their language wasn’t spoken, their religion not observed, their customs not recognized…Russia, Czechoslavakia, Poland, Germany, France, Italy, England, Arabia, Africa…Shut up in ghettos, persecuted, exterminated. And yet they survived, and they never stopped being a people, and they came together again to found a nation…
   O.F.: But that’s just what the Palestinians want, Mrs. Meir: to form a nation. It’s just for this reason that some people say they should have their state on the West Bank.
   G.M.: Look, I’ve already explained that to east and west of the Jordan you find the same people. I’ve already explained that once they were called Palestinians and later were called Jordanians [other way around, no? SZ]. If now they want to call themselves Palestinians or Jordanians I couldn’t care less. It’s none of my business. But it is my business that they don’t set up another Arab state between Israel and what is now called Jordan. In the stretch of land between the Mediterranean and the borders of Iraq, there’s room for only two countries, one Arab and one Jewish. If we sign a peace treaty with Hussein and define our borders with Jordan, whatever happens on the other side of the border won’t concern Israel. The Palestinians can come to any arrangement they like with Hussein; they can call that state what they like, give it any regime they like. The important thing isi that a third Arab state doesn’t emerge between us and Jordan. We don’t want it. We can’t allow it. Because it would come to be used as a dagger against us.”

   And, she forgot to mention that Jews have lived in Eretz Israel continually for thousands of years and most of the so-called, “Palestinians” were recent illegal migrants from the Arab states created by the same legal instruments as Israel. But, what she writes about 7 and 8 year olds indoctrinated to murder Jews are now the five year olds in UNRWA and other killer kindergardens that IDF soldiers are now finding evidence of in every home in Gaza. But, it’s sad the lesson wasn’t learned in now over 50 years, same lesson. Same exact lesson. And her words open the door to the Jordan Option. If she were alive, would she see that, or would she have gone with the flow. Imagine, this was when the left was actually Zionist and patriotic. – SZ

3. It does not matter that Palestinians have been used as pawns since Israel’s inception. Today, after two generations of hate indoctrination and propaganda, the Palestinians as a people are civilian jihadis and enemies of the State of Israel. The blurring of military and civilian lines is a tactical operation and humanitarian hoax that serves the strategic objective of eradicating the State of Israel and eliminating the Jewish people.

4. Sir Jeremy: Exactly.

   At a great cost, we now have thoroughly battle-hardened armed forces in Israel. All we need now is self-sufficiency in the manufacture of arms and ammo.

   Not that we are invincible, but this state of affairs allows us to undertake just about anything we damn well please, without having to pay much attention to “what the world thinks”.

5. There is no such thing as a “Palestinian” people. This Communist invented antisemitic ahistorical fabricated mythology should have been CRUSHED in 1964, three years before Israel should have ANNEXED all the lands liberated and/or conquered in June of 67 while deporting ALL of their Islamic populations.
   The sad truth is that this antisemitic kill the Jew mentality is not just a “Palestinian” desire but an Islamic construct toward the submission: conversion, enslavement or killing of all Kafir; especially the Jews…
   The Day of Judgement is an entirely different concept within Islam as compared to Judaism or Christianity. As shown by Sahih al-Bukhari 2926 Narrated Abu Huraira:
   Allah’s Messenger said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

6. Most importantly, Israel is not responsible for the residents of the Gaza strip.

7. So the disengagement must be 100%. No food, no fuel, no electricity and no water. They’re not grateful for any of that and the Israeli taxpayer is footing most of the bill. The international support goes to foot the hotel bills in Qatar and elsewhere.
