They were silent when Syrian missiles were placed in Lebanon. They were silent when death and destruction rained down on Israeli settlements. They were even silent when they Syrian regime destroyed one of its own cities in response to entrenched political and religious opposition.”

We know that they are only nice to us because they want our money.
They are dangerous men with Marxist tendencies.
But their disappearance would be a second wish.
The first wish is the disappearance of Israel.”

Daniel Patrick Moynihan said this in 1982 June 18 at a rally at the United Nations:
“Much of the world has chosen to view Israel’s actions in Lebanon through the prism of selective morality. Many were silent when Syrian troops and armed radical bands occupied the country. They were silent when Syrian missiles were placed in Lebanon. They were silent when death and destruction rained down on Israeli settlements. They were even silent when they Syrian regime destroyed one of its own cities in response to entrenched political and religious opposition.”
“But the world finds its collective voice when Israel sets out to liberate Lebanon from those who would use her as a pawn in their political machinations; and let us never forget that the introduction of foreign troops in Lebanon would never have been possible without the provision of weapons by the Soviet Union.”

“The declared program of the PLO is to bring about the destruction of the Zionist entity of Israel.”---------------------------------------------
Yassir Arafat as quoted by Reuters in Beirut, 1978 December 10:
“Armed struggle is our only road. We have no other road to reach Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and every inch of our occupied homeland.”---------------------------------------------
“The Jews have no rights in Jerusalem,” repeated Faisal, citing a League of Nations inquiry which showed, he said, that the Wailing Wall was part of the Al Aqsa Mosque. “Another wall can be built for them and they can wail against that.”

“[USA] President [Jimmy] Carter added insult to injury. No Arab leader he had ever met, he declared, actually wanted to see the creation of a truly independent Palestinian state…”

“Of course,” says one Saudi prince, “if God granted us a wish,
we would like the Palestinians to vanish off the face of the earth. We know that they are only nice to us because they want our money.
They are dangerous men with Marxist tendencies.
But their disappearance would be a second wish.
The first wish is the disappearance of Israel.”
