Following is a compilation of selected quotations from prominent Israeli and Z*****t figures that embodies the discourse of hatred, r****m, and rejection that nurtured Israeli society throughout the short existence of Israel.This language of negation of Palestinian existence and blatant disregard to the very humanity of the Palestinian people is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of Israeli and Z*****t policies.
Perhaps, the most significant aim of this document is to draw attention to the futility of this discourse. It is imperative that political leaders and prominent figures in any society promote principles of mutual respect, tolerance, and humanism, in order to nurture a more constructive outlook.
MY COMMENT: Some may choose to label me an "anti-semite" for reporting what a number of Israeli prime ministers, government officials, or military leaders have publically stated in the past. To them I would simply say there is a profound difference between being an "anti-semite" and an "anti-z*****t".
