Nicholas Guyatt, The Absence of Peace: Understanding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Zed Books, 1998), p. 49n Eitan cited in Nur Masalha, Imperial Israel and the Palestinians: The Politics of Expansion (Pluto Press, 2000), p.174 Eitan has also referred to Palestinians as “cockroaches;” see Edward Said, Peace and Its Discontents (Vintage, 1996), p.149 The Netanyahu family tradition of rejecting Palestinian rights and refusing to give up conquered land in return for peace is long. See Israel Shahak, “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu” in Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (Nov./Dec. 1996), p.19, p.106 Just to emphasize this point: the Revisionists advocated maximum territorial expansion of the State of Israel in its “Biblical borders,” they opposed any partition of historical Palestine (by the British or League of Nations) which might stand in the way of expansion, and they sought the establishment of Jewish sovereignty on “both banks of the Jordan [River]” (i.e., including all of present-day Jordan). Needless to say, the Palestinians and other Arabs indigenous to the region were not a consideration, except insofar as they were obstacles. Jabotinsky favoured forced “population transfer” of the Palestinians (what we call ethnic cleansing), and stated that Iraq and Saudia Arabia could absorb the refugees. See Masalha, p.55-57 Netanyahu claims to have given up U.S. citizenship in 1982, although U.S. files continue to regard him as an American citizen. See Neve Gordon, “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu” (www.zmag.org/zmag/articles/sept96gordon.htm) See note iii above.

The site’s “Links” page is replete with extreme right-wing settler organizations (like Gamla and the Golan Settlers’ Association). Another section innocently titled “The Palestinians” provides info and links to books and reviews which deny the very existence of Palestinians (such as the infamous Joan Peters travesty From Time Immemorial).
