[Marxism] Why Palestinians fight for their rights

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

from _www.Palestineremembered.com_ (http://www.Palestineremembered.com)   
    *   Why do Palestinians fight peace loving Israel?  
    *   Why all this terrorism against the innocent Jews who suffered  
centuries of persecution? 
It is worth noting what _David  Ben-Gurion_ 
(http://www.palestineremembered.com/Acre/Famous-Zionist-Quotes/Story638.html)  
told Zionist dove Nahum Goldman 
before he died: 
"I don't understand your optimism.," Ben-Gurion declared. "Why should  the 
Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms  with 
Israel. 
That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God  promised it to us, 
but what does that matter to them? Our God is not  theirs. We come from Israel, 
it's true, but two thousand years ago, and  what is that to them? There has 
been anti-Semitism the Nazis, Hitler,  Auschwitz, but was that their fault? 
They only see one thing: we have  come here and stolen their country. Why 
should 
they accept that? They  may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, 
but for the moment  there is no chance. So it's simple: we have to stay strong 
and maintain  a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs 
will  wipe us out". 
"But how can you sleep with that prospect in mind," I broke in, "and  be 
Prime Minister of Israel too?" 
Who says I sleep? he answered simply. (_The  Jewish Paradox_

Goldman, p.  99)
