YITZHAK SHAMIR, Israeli Prime Minister, said in San Francisco Chronicle on September 6, 1991:
”SHAMIR SAYS TERRORISM WAS ACCEPTABLE FOR JEWS, NOT ARABS
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, recalling his days as a guerrilla
commander, said yesterday that Jews were justified in using terrorism to win statehood but that Palestinians are not.
-”Personal terrorism is a way of fighting that is acceptable under
certain conditions and by certain movements” — said Shamir.
The Jews, stateless and persecuted, had no choice, he said. But
Palestinians are “fighting for land that is not theirs. This is the
land of the people of Israel.” —
Shamir was interviewed by army radio on the 50th anniversary of
the founding of Lehi, the underground group in which Shamir fought British rule in Palestine in the 1940's”
— — — — — —
Jewish terrorism, in other words, is noble — but Palestinian fighting is “bad” terrorism because “the land is not theirs”. And why is it “not theirs”? Because Zionists say so.
By accepting Zionism the world let a deadly poisonous snake to take control over humanity and let this snake establish a concept of Might Is Right to replace human rights and constitutions.
