THEY MUST GO - 1981
Rabbi
Meir Kahane,
(Excerpts)
Arabs
and Jews – Only Separation (Kahane style)
The
State of Israel … will ensure complete equality of social and political
rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex…
“Today,
I am in the minority. The state is
democratic. Who says that in the year 2000 we Arabs will still be the
minority? Today, I accept the fact that
this is a Jewish state, with an Arab minority.
But, when we are the majority, I will not accept the fact of a Jewish
state with an Arab majority.” (Na’ama Saud, teacher from the Israeli Arab
village of Araba, May 28. 1976)
“Let
the leaders of the Zionist movement…find their national some uninhabited
country. (Arab writer Issaw Darwazeh in the Haifa newspaper Al-Karmel, 1921)
January 28, 1980 –
Wise Auditorium – Hebrew University - Jerusalem
The
hall is packed to overflowing with more than six hundred students who are on
their feet, singing the anthem. The
auditorium fairly shakes as the loud, proud voices sing: In the name of freedom, we shall give our
lives. Arab Palestine is the land of our
struggle. We have seen the path from the
Negev to the Galilee. Our front will be
triumphant. – The song: Not the “Hatikva,” but the Fatah (PLO) national anthem.
“And
the L-rd said unto Abram…Lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where
thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to thee
will I give it and to thy seed forever.” (Genesis 13:14-15)
“We
do not recognize the right which you call “historic” of the Jewish people to
this land-this is our fundamental principle…In this land only the Palestinian
Arab people have historic right.” (Mahmud Muhareb, chairman of the Arab
Student Committee, Hebrew University in Jerusalem 1978)
“And
if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then
those that you let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes and thistles in
your sides and shall torment you in the land wherein you dwell.” (Numbers 33-55)
Some
years ago I was arrested by the Israeli police force and charged with
“incitement to revolution” The grounds?
I had reached the conclusion that it is impossible to find a solution
for the Arab-Jewish confrontation in the Land of Israel (both the state of
Israel and the lands liberated in 1967); that the Jewish state was inevitably
headed toward a situation like that in Northern Ireland, that the only possible
way to avoid or migrate it was the emigration of Arabs.
The
pity is that vital years have passed since my original proposal, wasted years
that saw the Yom Kippur War produce a major psychological change in Arab
thinking. In the aftermath of that war
and its political consequences, vast numbers of Arabs, who in 1972 were
depressed and convinced that Israeli sovereignty could not be destroyed, are
today just as convinced that time is on their side, that it will not be long
before the Zionist state collapses. The
necessary corollary is, of course that hundreds of thousands who were potential
voluntary émigrés nine years ago are now determined to stay and await the day
of Arab victory. But, they must go.
Time runs out
Alongside
the rapid growth of secular nationalism is a startling return to and growth of
Muslim fundamentalism at least as nationalistic and bitterly anti-Israel. There is little doubt that the rise to power
of Khomeni in Iran gave tremendous impetus to the religious insurgence among
Arab Israelis. In a January 1979
symposium on Islam among the Arabs of Eretz Yisrael, Moshe Sharon pointed out
that “Islam is the outstanding expression among the Arabs of Eretz Yisrael of
their nation entity.” He pointed to a
spontaneous religious revival among Israeli Arabs as a form of national identity. This included a rash of new mosques and a
large number of young Arabs sprouting beards and traditional clothing (a la the
Muslim Brotherhood) and seeking to study in the Muslim college in Hebron.
But,
religious or secular, bearded or beardless, town or village, the Israeli Arab
dreams of his own sovereign Arab Palestine.
And in the meantime he shapes his political struggle by stages.
(Rabbi
Meir Kahane H”YD warned us of the coming terror and war, of Muslim identity and
growth. The problem? No one listened, no one understood and no
one wanted to acknowledge the truth, and so the people of Israel suffer today’s
tragedies bg.)
