Ce n'est pas par coïncidence que les gens à Gaza sont affamés ; la politique est d'affamer la Bande de Gaza, de créer des conditions de vie extrêmement difficiles, de sorte que les habitants – en particulier ceux qui vivent dans les camps de réfugiés – quitteront la région.
En Israël, le groupe Matzpen compte quelques dizaines d'étudiants arabes et israéliens connus et plusieurs dizaines d'autres inconnus. Ils barbouillent les murs des maisons de Jérusalem avec des slogans tels que « à bas l'occupation ». Ils exigent l'abolition du sionisme et de l'Etat juif en tant que tel .
Devons-nous considérer la position des Juifs d'Afrique du Sud quand nous déterminons notre politique face au continent africain ? Faut-il tenir compte des effets de notre politique sur les Juifs de France ou des Etats-Unis ? Devons-nous veiller à ne pas confronter les Juifs au problème de la double loyauté ?
Toutefois, de même qu'il convenait aux Français de conquérir le marché mondial de vins et de fromages, eu égard à leurs compétences culinaires, de même il nous convient de conquérir le marché mondial des armements, puisque les Israéliens sont passés experts dans le domaine de la défense. Pourquoi en avoir honte ? Au contraire, nous devons tourner notre handicap spécifique en un avantage économique.
Une manifestation a eu lieu le 28 janvier devant le building du parlement israélien, en protestation contre l'assassinat des manifestants dans la ville occupée de Rafah, et contre la continuation de l'occupation.

The historically complex conflict in the Middle East is not a clash between Jews and Arabs as such, as the nationalists claim, but a clash between Zionist colonization, which is, and always has been, an ally of imperialism, and the indigenous population of Palestine.

They still talk about democracy here. Yes, my Jewish friend, I can say whatever I like. Then they will do – whatever they like.
When Zionists talk of "the threat of annihilation", they do not mean "physical extermination" but mainly the denial of special rights to Jews in Palestine. Zionists will only accept the principle of "one person ‒ one vote" as long as Jews are in the majority.
It is not by chance that people in Gaza are hungry; it is not by chance that they have no employment; it is not by chance that wages in Gaza are below the necessary minimum. All this is so because someone wanted it to be so. Someone in Jerusalem. A collective "someone".
The Yediot Aharonot journalist draws a line between the Israeli communists and the members of Matzpen who "smear the walls of houses in Jerusalem with slogans like 'Down with the occupation', demand the abolition of Zionism and the Jewish State as such, and like El-Fatah raise the slogan of a State that will accomodate both Jews and Arabs".
In our great enthusiasm at the achievements of Israel's independence and sovereignty we sometimes forget Zionism's negative aspect – it's cruel world outlook. In our ardour for Zionism, we ignore the effect of Zionist practice and Zionist ideology on the life and position of Jews who do not want to be Zionists.
The conflict in the Middle-East is primarily a Palestinian conflict, rather than a Judeo-Arab or Middle-Eastern one. It is primarily the problem of the Palestinian Arab people who have been deprived of their national rights and who are engaged in the fight for the reaffirmation of these rights.
A March on One Foot: A Hebrew poem by Amos Kenan (written in Paris 1957, when he had not yet been the kind of zionist he became).

Terrorism – like any other not-so-selective use of violence – is of course immoral. But very often in history it has proved to be most useful.
