        <span class="quote">We must expel Arabs and take their places.</span> <br>
        <span class="attribute">Source, as attributed in internet versions:<br> 
        David Ben Gurion, future Prime Minister of Israel, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985</span>. </p>
        <p>Actually, Ben Gurion wrote the opposite: “We need not expel Arabs”. When the original document in the Israeli archives was discovered to have been tampered with, Benny Morris, the historian credited with publicizing the falsified version, retracted his report. Here's a good account of the incident, written for a scholarly audience: (see: Attempted falsification of archives by those using the documents): <a href="http://bcrfj.revues.org/index3552.html"><br>

        <span class="attribute">Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of Palestine,Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry</span>. </p>        <p>Presented by propagandists as a master plan for ethnically cleansing Palestinians, Herzl was writing about squatters camping out on land that would be purchased-- probably, in his mind at the time, in Argentina. In fact, the degree of the propagandists' deceit is astounding when one reads the passages excised from this adulterated version of Herzl's diary: </p>
        <p><em>When we occupy the land, we shall bring immediate benefits to the state that receives us. We must expropriate gently the private property on the estates assigned to us. We shall try to </em>spirit the penniless population across the border<em> by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while </em>denying it any employment in our country. <em>The property owners will come over to our side. </em>Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discretely and circumspectly … <em>It goes without saying that we shall respectfully tolerate persons of other faiths and protect their property, their honor, and their freedom with the harshest means of coercion. This is another area in which we shall set the entire world a wonderful example … Should there be many such immovable owners in individual areas [who would not sell their property to us], we shall simply leave them there and develop our commerce in the direction of other areas which belong to us. </em><br>

        The population was forcibly removed about five miles, to behind Arab army lines. <br>

        <p><span class="Faked"><strong>FAKED QUOTE: </strong></span>: <br>
        Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population. <br>

        <br>
        Whoever selected this quote for propoganda cut out Dayan's words: "we purchased the land from Arabs and set up Jewish villages where there had once been Arab villages". Dayan was urging coexistence as the longterm solution to the area's conflict. <br>

        The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill -- From the Nile to the Euphrates. <br>

        <p>The “Nile to the Euphrates” paranoid delusion is sometimes amusing (see Arafat's claim of a secret message on the Israeli 10 agorot coin).&nbsp; No cut'n'paster I've found yet has invented a source for this particular version of a pervasive fantasy of Jewish designs on Egypt and Iraq.<br>

        <p><span class="Faked"><strong>FAKED QUOTE: </strong></span><br>
        It lies upon the people's shoulders to prepare for the war, but it lies upon the Israeli army to carry out the fight with the ultimate object of erecting the Israeli Empire. <br>
        <span class="attribute">Source, as attributed in internet versions:</span><br>
        <span class="attribute">Moshe Dayan (Israel Defense and Foreign Minister), on February 12 1952. Radio "Israel." </span><br>
        <br>
        First clue: Radio So-called “Israel”. <br>
        Dayan did not become Defense Minister until 1967. He didn't even become Chief of Staff  in 1953. Having him boast of erecting &quot;the Israeli empire&quot; is a particularly silly forgery.</p>

        <p><span class="Faked"><strong>MISLEADING QUOTE: </strong></span><br>
          One of the most enduring and deceptive slogans of Zionism was coined by Israel Zangwill almost 100 years ago: Palestine was a </p>        <p>"land without people for a people without land." <br>
            <br>
        After paying a visit to Palestine in 1891, the Hebrew essayist Achad Ha-Am commented: <br>
" Abroad we are accustomed to believe that Israel is almost empty; nothing is grown here and that whoever wishes to buy land could come here and buy what his heart desires. In reality, the situation is not like this. Throughout the country it is difficult to find cultivable land which is not already cultivated. </p>
        <p><br>
        Actually, it was Lord Sheffield who coined the phrase-- half a century before the Zionist movement arose. At the  time  the coastal plain of the backwater Turkish province of Palestine was, indeed, desolate, with most of the  population concentrated in the inland hill country. &nbsp;Broadway playwright Israel Zangwill adopted the phrase, but the by then outdated concept was already challenged by other Zionists, notably Ahad Ha'Am.</p>

        <p><span class="Faked"><strong>MISLEADING QUOTE: </strong></span><br>
"How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." <br>
    Golda Meir, March 8, 1969. <br>
"There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed." <br>
    Golda Maier Israeli Prime Minister June 15, 1969 <br>
          <br>
          Golda Meir clarified her first statement with the second: <br>
          <br>
"There were no such thing as Palestinians. When was there an independent Palestinian people with a Palestinian state? It was either southern Syria before the First World War, and then it was a Palestine including Jordan. It was not as though there was a Palestinian people in Palestine considering itself as a Palestinian people, and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them. They did not exist." <br>
    Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969; The Washington Post (June 16, 1969) </p>        <p>That there was no distinct Palestinin national identity was precisely the point argued by Palestinian leadership throughout most of Golda Meir's life. In protesting the Balfour Declaration in 1921 the Palestinian delegation insisted that the region was <em>not</em> an independent unit but rather an integral part of Southern Syria,  that could not be administered separately. The evolving political, nationalistic consciousness of the Palestinin population over the course of time, and especially after 1967, may have rendered that position moot, but Meir cannot be faulted for understanding the arguement presented to her throughout her lifetime by Palestinians.</p>
