AMMAN – The ongoing spectacle of Zionist terror and crime, with a policy of extermination now being implemented in Gaza and spreading across Palestine, is driven by a deliberate ideology, strategy, and set of malign objectives.
Their penchant for terror and crime has been elevated to a kind of philosophy, most clearly embodied by Menachem Begin, Jabotinsky’s closest pupil and devoted successor.
Mr. Begin asserted the centrality of violence in the making of history, stating, “The force of progress in world history is not peace, but the sword.”
He framed struggle as a component of existence. “I fight, therefore I exist.” He even incited murder by saying, “Be my brother or I will kill you.”
“Out of the blood, fire, tears and ashes will arise a new type of man, completely unknown to the world for the past 1800 years: the fighting Jew. First of all, we must attack. We attack the murderer.”
Who is Menachem Begin alluding to when he speaks of “murderers”? It is clear that he is referring to the Palestinian Arabs defending their homeland and its very existence.
The Zionist organization’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, similarly expressed the belief that for the Israeli people, “arms and violence are the rebirth of civilization,” a modern continuation of ancient “Judaism.” He declared: “Judaism was destroyed by blood and fire, but by blood and fire it will rise again.”
He compared Jewish settlers in Palestine to the Spanish conquistadors who destroyed millions of indigenous peoples in Central and South America by arms and fire, and to the American colonists who waged war against “wild nature” and “savage red Indians.”
This is only a small part of the vast material of Zionist thought, culture and literature taught in Zionist educational institutions, particularly in religious Jewish schools, texts and curricula that in effect call for the “annihilation of the Amalekite Arabs” (here referring to the Palestinians).
