Quotation from Yeshayahu Leibowitz “This state was created solely thanks to the Goyim world” — Oct. 1990

Orthodox Israeli scientist, moralist and historian Leivowitz, in this dialogue with Israeli filmmaker Eyal Sivan, simply destroys the self-justifications Israel gives for its actions (excerpts).

"

E.S. - Perhaps we’re prisoners of our own memory?  
Y.L. - … since our educational system is absolutely incapable of providing us with any form of Jewish values adapted to our present reality, the escape towards the past, what happened to us, is very well exploited to distract our minds from all problems, from all obligations.  From all responsibility as well. We have no responsibility whatsoever, no matter what we do, because after all, we're the ones who've had all this done to us!
(...)
E.S. - Perhaps our acts are somehow part of what happened to us?  
Y.L. – On the contrary. What does it mean “what happened to us”? Nothing that a man does is the result of what happened to him. Nothing. Everything a man does is done because he wanted to do it.
(…)
E.S. – A very common slogan repeated in Israel is “the whole world is against us”. Why?  
Y.L. - Because it’s very comfortable! There’s nothing more comfortable for a man than to convince himself that the others are bad and the he is in the right. It’s extremely cheap. Whereas in fact, no state has ever been so spoiled as the State of Israel. It was created solely thanks to the Goyim world.
