Quotation from Benjamin Cohen “To insure peace for the residents of Galilee. These lies worthy of Goebbels make me mad” — June 8 1982

Professor of History at Tel Aviv University, in a letter to the French historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet.

Author : Thematics :
" I am writing to you while listening to a transistor that has just announced that "we" are in the process of "realizing our objec­tives" in Lebanon: to insure "peace" for the residents of Galilee. These lies worthy of Goebbels make me mad. It is clear that this savage war, more barbaric than any of those preceding it, has nothing to do with the attempt in London or the security of Galilee... Jews, sons of Abraham ... Jews, victims themselves of so much cruelty, how can they become so cruel? ... The greatest success of Zionism is the déjudaisation of Jews. "
