Yisrael when you decided to call Palestinians Southern Syrians, you have no right to expect a polite response. I understand your fear of your own delegitimization. It must be a frightening way to live! Now listen to the Fathers and Mothers of Israel, hear it from the horse's mouth, David Ben Gurion
Prime Minister of Israel, 1949 - 1954, 1955 – 1963:

"We must expel Arabs and take their places."

"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."

"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?"

-- Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif
(The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.

"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."

-- David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by
Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p.99.

"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."

--David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky's
Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan's
"Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2
citing a 1938 speech.
