SEE – Bibi’s Father’s Answer to the ‘Arab Problem’: Hang’ Em in the Town Square, By Richard Silverstein, Tikun Olam, 4/04/09

(excerpts) Imagine, if you will, if Barack Obama’s real father was Rev. Jeremiah Wright and imagine, if you will, that Wright gave an eight-page interview to USA Today the week of Obama’s inauguration. Then you can imagine the “interest” with which such a Maariv interview with Bibi Netanyahu’s father was met in Israeli circles.
Noam Sheizaf, who works for Maariv, has translated portions of the interview . . .
. . . And without further ado, I give you, Ben Zion Netanyahu, the father of the man:
• Netanyahu: “I don’t see any signs that the Arabs want peace… we will face fierce attacks from the Arabs, and we must react firmly…We just handed them a strong blow in Gaza, and they still bargain with us over one hostage… if we gave them a blow that would really hurt them, they would have given us Gilad Shalit back.”
• Q: Operation “cast Lead” was one of the worst blows we handed on a civilian population.
• A: “That’s not enough. It’s possible that we should have hit harder.”
• Q: You don’t like the Arabs, to say the least.
• A: “The Bible finds no worse image than this of the man from the desert. And why? Because he has no respect for any law. Because in the desert he can do as he pleases.
The tendency towards conflict is in the essence of the Arab. He is an enemy by essence. His personality won’t allow him any compromise or agreement. It doesn’t matter what kind of resistance he will meet, what price he will pay. His existence is one of perpetuate war.” . . .
