THEY MUST GO
Introduction:   Arabs and Jews—Only Separation   7

intelligence, and his national pride, in contempt.

There is an ultimately insoluble contradiction between a br

Jewish state of Israel that is the fulfillment of the 2,000-year-old br

Jewish-Zionist dream and a state in which Arabs and Jews br

possess equal rights—including the right of the Arabs democrat- br

ically and peacefully to put an end to the Jewish state. Those br

who refuse to give the Arab that right but tell him he is equal br

think he is a fool. He is not.

The reality of the situation is, therefore, clear. The Jews br

and Arabs of the Land of Israel ultimately cannot coexist in a br

Jewish-Zionist state. A time bomb in the Holy Land ticks away br

relentlessly.

A Jewish state means Jewish orientation and ties. It means br

Jewish culture and a Jewish spirit in the Jewish body politic. But br

above all, a Jewish state means Jewish sovereignty and control of br

its destiny. That can be accomplished only by a permanent Jew- br

ish majority and a small, insignificant, and placid Arab minor- br

ity. But the Arabs believe that the Jews are thieves who stole br

their land. The Arabs feel no ties to or emotions for a state that br

breathes “Jewishness.” And they grow, quantitatively and qual- br

itatively. They will surely make violent demands for more br

power, including “autonomy” in various parts of the land. Even- br

tually, the very majorityship of Jews will be threatened by the br

Arab birthrate. The result will be bloody conflict.

If we hope to avoid this terrible result, there is only one br

path for us to take: the immediate transfer of Arabs from Eretz br

Yisrael, the Land of Israel, to their own lands. For Arabs and br

Jews of Eretz Yisrael there is only one answer: separation, Jews br

in their land, Arabs in theirs. Separation. Only separation.

I know only too well what the reaction of the vast majority br

of people will be to my words. Indeed, it is being completed even br

as I sit in Ramle Prison. My real crime is my ideas concerning br

the awful danger that exists to the State of Israel because of the br

very presence of its large and growing number of Arab citizens. br

My real threat to the very confused and frightened government br

is that my ideas are quietly shared by hundreds of thousands of br

Jews in Israel who, in anger and frustration, now move to sup- br

port me and give me the power to make my ideas a force in the br

land.

My ideas are not only suppressed by the government but br
