To Menahem Begin, chief author of the Deir Yassin massacre, who went on to become Israel's prime minister and get a Nobel peace prize, the Palestinians were "two-legged beasts". Immediately after the 1967 war Robin Maxwell-Hyslop, a British Conservative, recounted in the House of Commons a conversation he had with David Hacohen, one-time Israeli ambassador to Burma. As related by Maxwell-Hyslop, Hacohen "spoke with great intemperance and at great length about the Arabs. When he drew breath I was constrained to say: "Dr Hacohen, I am profoundly shocked that you should speak of other human beings in terms similar to those in which Julius Streicher [notorious Nazi propagandist] spoke of the Jews. Have you learned nothing?" I shall remember his reply to my dying day. He smote the table with both hands and said: "But they are not human beings, they are not people, they are Arabs"." One of the many things Israeli spokesmen seem incapable of realizing is that abuse is no substitute for reason

Israel has amassed much military prowess but remains very poor in logic.

Oh, come on, wait a minuete- that is totally unfair.
Radical and fanatic people you can find everywhere, and accusing all Jewish Zionists for this disgusting remark is not a right or fair thing to do. One's mind is not necessarily the general atmosphere, and as an Israeli I can assure you that very few Israelis believe in this rubbish.

No surprise, I've heard this and many worse things come out of Zionist's mouths regarding others. The only flaw in your question is that you call them Zionist Jews. That is an insult to Judaism. Zionists claim to be Jews so that they can use the religion to gain sympathy, but in all actuality, Zionists are not even close to being true Jews. They do not follow the Torah in any way. They are atheists. Well, that is giving atheists a bad name.

Actually, there's a difference between Jewish and Zionism. You don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, you must only support the state of Israel as a Jewish state. Your statement is very powerful and seems genuine--I respect that and I respect you. I only hope you can put things in the perspective that the stupid utterances of one person should not define an entire group of people. And, you should understand that being human, even Jews have anger similar to that of the Muslims. We first need to stop the hatred before we can stop the bleeding. Those are my words.

And this one man, a low-level diplomat who was assigned to the nothing post of Burma, has consumed your thoughts all these years? Maybe that one person was a bigot, much as in America Al Sharpton does not speak for all blacks and David Duke does not speak for all whites.

Plenty of Jews in Israel would like nothing more to work peaceably side by side with their Arab neighbors.

You are beginning to sound monomaniacal. Of course it is right to scrutinise and question the actions of the Israeli government, it is even OK to be anti-isreali, but by becoming a rabid anti-jew you give isrealis the justification they need for doing what they are doing.

So you find a quote by one guy, attribute it falsely to Menachim Begin, and that means all Jews have the same attitude. Look in a mirror, genius. You're doing the same thing.

well i guess you might see that a little differently if you were attacked everyday for the last 30 years. everyday isreali civilians are killed by hezbollah or the PLO of hamas because they're infidels in the muslims eyes. isreal has to take a strong position or it would have been annhilated years ago.

Yes, we all know how Jews act, only Americans are blind because their country is under Jews control. Jews act similar than Nazi or SS did in WW2.
They have no respect toward their neighbors, so they don't deserve respect from Arabs.
If you ask me, Jews are like a mafia, they act underground, not in-front of the people but they act behind of people's eye. Americans don't even know... And what is even worse.
They justify their evil acts, like it is something normal.
