Necessary components to kill someone: racism and hatred

Editor's note: All of Israel's prime ministers since the state's founding in 1948 originated from eastern Europe and countries under the Russian empire including the "ethnic cleanser" Ben Gurion. It shouldn't be surprising then what their God of war Yahweh (a murderous demon God, racist, hateful with no capacity for love or compassion) has created in these people: murderous fanatics.

Ethnic Cleanser - A Biography of David Ben Gurion

A biography of the first Prime Minister of Israel

"For Ben-Gurion, the 'Arabs' were no more than one-dimensional objects on the landscape that had to be removed. They had no right to be in Palestine let alone the right to stay there. Had he seen them as equal human beings he could not have been a Zionist."

Book Review

Excerpt by henrymakow.com

In 1940 the Haganah bombed the Patria, a ship carrying Jewish refugees from Romania to Palestine. About 250 of them plus some British servicemen who had boarded the ship in Haifa port were killed. [The British were going to send the Jews to Mauritius. This was intended to look like the Jews blew themselves up rather than be deported.]

Asked his opinion, Ben-Gurion approved of the bombing as a 'Zionist action' although 'no one expected so many victims'.

Deluding himself again, he said it was an 'act of God', not of the Haganah. In 1948, another ship, the Altalena -- Jabotinsky's pen name -- arrived with a cargo of refugees, arms, and ammunition. Menahim Begin and Ben-Gurion could not agree on how the arms should be shared. Ben-Gurion was prepared to shoot it out and did: the ship was raked with gunfire, 'Jews shooting Jews' as Yitzhak Rabin remarked, and eventually set it on fire. The next morning Ben-Gurion responded with this comment: 'Blessed is the cannon that bombed the ship. The cannon is worthy of standing in the Temple, if it gets built' (435)...

He fought with Zionist allies and enemies alike. His hatred of his own Jewish stock could be even greater than his contempt for the 'Arabs'. Weizmann was turned into a 'loathsome carrion, like a trampled corpse' (351), Jabotinsky was 'Vladimir Hitler', and the Revisionists a 'Jewish Nazi Party'. (252). The insults were returned in full measure.

'At any cost' meant lying and dissembling endlessly: whatever Ben-Gurion said for propaganda purposes, he always knew what he wanted, which was the removal of the Palestinians from the land that belonged to them, according to all logical legal, historical, and moral criteria but to which Ben-Gurion believed only Jews had a moral and historic right.

On this basis he set the Zionist state on the course it has followed to the present day, with the devastating consequences it has had for the Palestinians, the surrounding Arab world and the Jewish communities who lived in that world for thousands of years until deliberately uprooted by Zionism's 'ingathering of the exiles'.

For Ben-Gurion, the 'Arabs' were no more than one-dimensional objects on the landscape that had to be removed. They had no right to be in Palestine let alone the right to stay there. Had he seen them as equal human beings he could not have been a Zionist.

Indeed, he hardly saw them as human beings at all. They were lesser beings, to be disposed of when the time came. The old, the young, women, children, babes in arms, they all had to go, as they did in 1948.

Driven out on the orders of this man or what was tacitly understood of what he wanted and moving further away with each step from the massacres that had been the fate of many others, they streamed in long columns toward Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Many died on the road even as the homes they had been forced to abandon were being plundered and destroyed.

Ben-Gurion did not establish 'the only democracy in the Middle East' because it was only a democracy for Jews and therefore -- like his socialism -- not a democracy at all. What he sowed were the seeds of what has gradually taken shape since 1948, a Jewish supremacist state from which the 'Arabs' must be purged or reduced to ethnic remnants waiting for the next busload of American or Japanese tourists.
