Who is Pushing Whom into the Sea?
Ben Gurion: “We Must Expel the Arabs and Take Their Place”
By WILLIAM MARTIN
The following is the beginning of an excellent article showing that the old canard that the “Arabs want to push the Jews into the sea” is a complete fabrication originated by none other than than a man who himself advocated ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population. In fact, thousands of Palestinians were actually pushed to the sea by terror when the Jewish Supremacist State of Israel was formed. In addition to the following article be sure to read the article on the subject on the Palestine Remembered Website.–David Duke
On 11 October 1961 Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion declared in the Israeli Knesset:
‘The Arabs’ exit from Palestine…began immediately after the UN resolution, from the areas earmarked for the Jewish state. And we have explicit documents testifying that they left Palestine following instructions by the Arab leaders, with the Mufti at their head, under the assumption that the invasion of the Arab armies at the expiration of the Mandate will destroy the Jewish state and push all the Jews into the sea, dead or alive’.
Thus, Mr Ben Gurion is asserting that it is his perception that 1) there were directions from the neighboring Arab states and the Mufti in Jerusalem for the indigenous Arabs of Palestine to evacuate their homes and lands on the promise that the Arab armies would destroy the nascent Jewish state, and, further, 2) that those armies intended to “push all the Jews into the sea, dead or alive”. The phrase “push all the Jews into the sea, dead or alive” has acquired a life of its own as it is invoked by Zionist supporters on a daily basis in order to justify the aggressive policies of Israel as well as its recalcitrance in continuing the occupation of the Palestinians of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
