The Zionists start quoting

If Salient's latest (?) Middle East atrocity of July 3 ("Blood in the Milk and Honey") could include imaginary statements by General Dayan, may I submit some factual statements by some Arab sources?

"The Arabs have kept the Palestinian refugees in tents, according to a planned policy for the return of Palestine—since the rehabilitation of the Palestinians would have lost them Palestine for good," (Colonel Jaloud, Libya's number two man, in the Beirut paper "Al Hawadath', 24.12.71)

"The Jews deviated from the Law of Moses and tried to murder Jesus Christ because they did not want the Laws of God to be observed....They are the enemies of Islam and it is specifically stated in the Koran that the Jews are the worst sworn enemies of the Moslems...We must unite against Zionism and communism, which are both dangerous enemies of Allah and the faith of Islam," (King Faisal, 20.12.73, according to the Saudi Press Agency).

"This is a holy war and it is the duty of all Moslem countries to join in. If any Moslem country shirks this duty, then it will be deviating from the teachings of God and his Prophet." (A noon prayer service broadcast by all Cairo radio stations from Cairo's Al Azhar Mosque, 12.10.73).

"Hitler did not burn Jews alone—too bad he didn't! He burnt his enemies of all religions and no religion at all......Nobody finds the time to say: the Jews are by nature bloodthirsty beasts. All their religious books testify to that and describe them as having the meanest characteristics," (Anis Mansour, in the Cairo paper 'Al Akhbar', 11.12.72).

"There are people who talk about freedom of expression, liberty and democracy, and even about freedom in the universities. Only sick people can think such things," (Colonel Kaddafi, quoted by the London Daily Mirror 9.7.73).

Such are just some of the revolutionary and progressive-sentiments of those on whom so much sympathy has been lavished in Salient's fair pages.
