Vladimir Žabotinskij Frasi e Citazioni

“È impossibile sognare un accordo volontario fra noi [ebrei] e gli arabi […] Non ora e non in un futuro prevedibile […]. Ogni nazione, civile o primitiva, considera la propria terra come il suo focolare nazionale, dove vuole stare, come unico proprietario della terra, per sempre. Una tale nazione non consentirà mai spontaneamente a che vi siano nuovi proprietari terrieri, nemmeno a una società. Ogni nazione aborigena combatterà i nuovi coloni fino a quando ci sarà speranza di liberarsi di loro. Così si comportano e così si comporteranno gli arabi [della Palestina] fino a quando ci sarà nei loro cuori un barlume di speranza di poter impedire la trasformazione della Palestina in Erez Israel.”

Vladimir Žabotinskij: Frasi in inglese

“Our habit of constantly and zealously answering to any rabble has already done us a lot of harm and will do much more. … We do not have to apologize for anything. We are a people as all other peoples; we do not have any intentions to be better than the rest. As one of the first conditions for equality we demand the right to have our own villains, exactly as other people have them. … We do not have to account to anybody, we are not to sit for anybody's examination and nobody is old enough to call on us to answer. We came before them and will leave after them. We are what we are, we are good for ourselves, we will not change, nor do we want to.”

Palestine Bulletin, (1934-01-04) ( Source http://www.transatlantikblog.de/2014/03/31/jabotinsky-juden-britisches-empire/).

“We cannot give any compensation for Palestine, neither to the Palestinians nor to other Arabs. Therefore, a voluntary agreement is inconceivable. All colonization, even the most restricted, must continue in defiance of the will of the native population. Therefore, it can continue and develop only under the shield of force which comprises an Iron Wall which the local population can never break through. This is our Arab policy. To formulate it any other way would be hypocrisy.”

Ze'ev Jabotinsky

The Iron Wall (1923).

“A Jew brought up among Germans may assume German custom, German words. He may be wholly imbued with that German fluid but the nucleus of his spiritual structure will always remain Jewish, because his blood, his body, his physical-racial type are Jewish. … It is impossible for a man to become assimilated with people whose blood is different from his own. In order to become assimilated, he must change his body, he must become one of them, in blood. … There can be no assimilation as long as there is no mixed marriage. … An increase in the number of mixed marriages is the only sure and infallible means for the destruction of nationality as such. … A preservation of national integrity is impossible except by a preservation of racial purity, and for that purpose we are in need of a territory of our own where our people will constitute the overwhelming majority.”
