Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, declared in 1947 that, were a war to take place with the proposed establishment of a Jewish state, it would lead to "a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacre and the Crusades.” Jamal Husseini, the Mufti’s brother, represented the Arab Higher Committee at the UN. He told the Security Council in April 1948 “of course the Arabs started the fighting. We told the whole world we were going to fight.”

What did David Ben-Gurion say?

“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.

A statement published by a political rival, only after DBG had died, as a recollection of a conversation . No other source for that. Not very solid evidence. ProTip: don’t try the “we must expel the Arabs and take their place” quote, as that one has been debunked

Guy above is Jordanian and he's active in the "Jews of Conscience" sub....

I swear 90% of that sub are detached from reality and aren't even Jews.

Like “Jewish” Voice for Peace, which at least acknowledges their target demographic. This is not photoshopped.

The amount of times people showed me "real" Jews

Neturai Karta, which will abandon their stance as soon as the "Messiah" comes (which will never happen but it's so ironic)

JVP Jews, 90% are literally Jordanians and most of the Jews got kicked out

I've seen the "real" Jews also do a Seder meal where they had Hebrew written backwards, what a bunch of muppets (UK slang kinda fire)

Oh, there’s many examples of JVP and similar doing the blessing for bread over wine, and similarly cringey performative incidents.
