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 Menachem Begin “They would repudiate everything we did and pretend that we were dissident elements” — Nov. 1948

Leader of the terrorist organization Irgun, declaration in the United States during his visit to the United States at the end of November 1948.
Author : Thematic :
" In the month preceding the end of the Mandate, the Jewish Agency decided to undertake a difficult mission as prelude to taking over the Arab cities before the evacuation of British forces and the dispersal of their Arab population. The Jewish Agency came to an agreement with us that we should execute these arrangements, while they would repudiate everything we did and pretend that we were dissident elements, as they used to do when we fought the British. So we struck hard and put terror into the hearts of the Arabs. Thus we accomplished the expulsion of the Arab population from the areas assigned to the Jewish state. "

Lebanese newspaper "El Hayat", Dec. 20 1948. Quoted by Musa Alami, The lesson of Palestine . Middle East journal, vol 3, Oct. 1949, n°4, pp 381 - 382.
