Reply #98: the quotation, apparently very famous [View All]

[Gimel]

we have undergone a metamorphosis willfully inflicted upon us by Israeli-imposed diction and policies that have variously depicted us as two-legged vermin, cockroaches, beasts walking on two legs, a people that have to be exterminated unless they are resigned to live as slaves, grasshoppers to be crushed, crocodiles, and vipers.


The lines were mentioned in Aswhari's speech, must be an example of the most damaging in Israeli text books she could find, right? Wrong. Those lines are not from an Israeli textbook. Those are lines from a novel written by Amos Oz, a famous Israeli award winning writer, who happens to be a Peace Now activist.

If you want to investigate all literature for racial slurs and comments, and destroy books, you might start with the Protocals and the Hitler books that are persistently offered over the internet.
