John de Groot supplies a quote regarding the conflict between Jews and Arabs and challenges Pulp readers to guess who uttered the words.
--------------------------------------
The Jews and the Arabs have been doing violence to each other for most of my life.
Just as generations of the world's anguished by-standers have continued to call for peace in the Middle East.
Not that it matters that much to the dead.
Irony is, it's been nearly a half century of violence and bloodshed since one leader gave context to the endless horror:
"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader, I would never make peace with Israel . We have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We (the Jews) come from Israel , it's true, but two thousand years ago and what is that to them (the Arabs)? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz , but that was not their (the Arabs) fault. They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?"
The name of the man who said it comes after the jump.
-- David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, as quoted in "The Jewish Paradox" by Nahum Goldmann, former president of the World Jewish Congress, in 1956.
