“If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them?… They see only one thing – we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?
Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion speaking to Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, 1956.
