Database of Palestine colonization quotes



PALCIT is a database of quotes on the Zionist colonization of Palestine. Quotations do not replace History, but there is no History without quotations. Those in PALCIT come either from recognized historians or from media that have shed light on the news. Their authors are most often people who have played a direct and important role of political power. This choice is intended to give a raw material to understand the ideology that has guided the decisions taken since the birth of Zionism to lead to today's Israel.

The authenticity of the quotations and their sources have been carefully verified.

Authentic quotations are accessible:

  • by searching for exact phrases.
  • by date or period. This is the date of the quotations and not the period evoked by them.
  • by author.
  • by theme.

The quotations may be downloaded at the bottom of the QUOTATION page.

This site is a tribute to all past and present source persons and sites that have provided well-controlled data, especially Palestine Remembered.

Quotation from Adolf Eichmann “Had I been a Jew, I would have been a fanatical Zionist” — Sep. 10 1961

As a bona fide Nazi, Adolf Eichmann admired Zionism as a means of voluntary emigration for European Jews, before taking part in the next step, the “Final Solution”.
Author : Thematics :
"

I had the chance to take a trip to Palestine. We were most interested in the Palestine emigration, and I wanted to find out at what point the new Jewish state in Palestine might be set up. Unfortunately' Palestine was then in turmoil, and the British turned down my application for an extended stay. I did see enough to be very impressed by the way the Jewish colonists were building up that country.  I admired their desparate will to live. The more so since I was myself an idealist. In the years that followed I often said to Jews with whom I had dealings that, had I been a Jew, I would have been a fanatical Zionist. I could not imagine being anything else. In fact, I would have been the most ardent Zionist imaginable.
