From the Mouths of the Belly of the Beast:
Quotes from David Ben-Gurion


On page 559 to 600 Ben-Gurion said "On April 25 the court heard a posthumous affidavit by Dieter Wisliceny, who was initially Eichmann's superior and later one of his subordinates. Wisliceny had made this deposition to American prosecuting officers before he was hanged by a Slovak court. He divided the anti-Jewish operations into three phases. (1) The years 1937-1940, when the policy was to accelerate Jewish emigration from Germany and Austria. After the conquest of France there was a plan to send the Jews to Madagascar which was never implemented. (2) The years 1940-1941, when the Jews were herded into ghettos and concentration camps in Poland and other conquered territories in eastern Europe. (3) The years 1942-1943, when the Jews were exterminated.

Wisliceny related that in 1942 Eichmann had told him that according to a written order by Himmler dated April 1942 the Jews were to be exterminated. When Wisliceny expressed some reservations, Eichmann replied, 'Don't be sentimental, this is the Führer's order.' Wisliceny also claimed that at the end of 1944, when Germany's defeat was certain, Hitler directed that all executions of Jews were to cease but Eichmann refused to obey unless he received a written directive signed by Himmler."

Why Himmler? Why not Hitler? Many people blame Hitler for the deaths of 6 million Jews when it was Himmler who was exterminating the Jews; Hitler was, for the most part at least, oblivious to Himmler's actions. See David Irving's book entitled Hitler's War. Moreover, Ben-Gurion contradicted himself since he stated that exterminations were carried out between 1941 and 1945. So which one can we believe? 1941 - 1945 or 1942 - 1943? Or can we believe any of it?

Here is more proof that Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews. On page 591 Ben-Gurion stated  "At the end of October 1938 Hitler's government decided to expel all Jews in Germany who had formerly been Polish citizens. The victims were crammed into freight cars, hauled to points near the eastern frontier, ordered to descend, then driven through the fields toward the Polish border. The Polish frontier guards, caught unaware, were helpless to stop the sudden surge of humanity."

If Hitler had had any intention of exterminating the Jews, he would have exterminated them on German soil; there would have been no reason to move them to another country.

In Hitler: Founder of Israel by Hennecke Kardel, the author confirms that it was Hitler's intention to create the State of Israel for the Jews; therefore in order to facilitate what would be a massive movement of human beings, plans had to be made to complete this mission. The above, therefore, must have been what these individuals decided in order to achieve that goal. Hitler was one-quarter Jewish due to Rothschild's rape of his father's mother in Austria producing his father Alois. See http://www.truedemocracy.net/td2_2/56hitler.html Ben-Gurion attempts to create the impression that the 'final solution' was extermination, but it was emigration. Hitler wanted the European Jews away from Europe.

Page 668-9 "Without waiting for compensation from the Arab governments for their abandoned property, we have done everything in our power to absorb these Jewish refugees who immediately became citizens of Israel."

Page 673 "Emma Talmi was opposed to receiving TV from the Rothschilds. Esther Raziel-Naor claimed that from what she had seen, television was not a medium for education but merely for communication. She feared it would provide neither education nor learning but mechanical indoctrination.
   
Ami Assaf, Deputy Minister of Education, told of the development of the plans for educational television. In April 1962 Lord Rothschild of London had proposed that the Prime Minister and Minister of Education appoint a delegation to study what had been done in educational television in other countries, especially the United States. If it then recommended its introduction and the Government concurred, the Rothschild family would be prepared to finance telecasts to twenty schools over a period of two to three years. They would finance the equipment, the receivers, and the production costs for that period, after which the Government would judge and decide whether or not it wished to continue.

The delegation which went to examine the matter consisted of two persons: Mr. Roe, representing the Rothschild family in Israel, and Dr. Meir Shapira, principal of Beit Hakerem High School. They spent several weeks in the United States and other countries and their recommendations were favorable, though with certain reservations. When there were cases of both success and failure, it was better to learn from the successes and the failures."

Page 674 "Israel, as was well known, had a shortage of teachers, especially qualified teachers, and this obligated us to try educational television. Though it could not replace the teachers, or make up the shortage, it could be of great assistance to teachers if it succeeded. We had experience with school radio broadcasts and the results had proved satisfactory. The number of schools listening to them was steadily increasing and now stood at 340.

Under the terms of the agreement with the Rothschild family, the Minister of Education and Culture would be responsible for the form, content, style, scheduling, grades, and age groups of the programs. In everything connected with the curriculum the financial sponsors were not asking for any right to interfere. All they requested was that the production or translation of the programs be done by the experts they recommended. The Government had not yet decided on the proposal. If it was accepted, the program would be operated on a trial basis for a two or three-year period starting in 1964-1965. Ami Assaf proposed that the matter be referred to the Education and Culture Committee.

The proponents of a debate in the Knesset did not agree and it was decided to hold a debate in the plenum. It was opened on January 1, 1963, by the Minister of Education and Culture, Abba Eban. He apprised the Knesset that two days earlier the Government had voted in favor of a television experiment in cooperation with the Rothschild Memorial Group. Under this plan televised lessons on selected subjects would be transmitted to a limited number of elementary and secondary schools and teachers' seminaries both in the National and National Religious System. It would thus be possible to train educators in new pedagogical methods developed in the many countries in which the new medium had been harnessed for the advancement of education. The Rothschild Memorial Group would underwrite all the expenses while the Minister of Education and Culture would have exclusive responsibility for the content and form of the programs. In planning programs the Ministry would consult and cooperate with the nation's teachers and with the Knesset Education and Culture Committee.

The experiment would continue for two or three years, Eban said. In the light of the results the Government would decide if and how it should be expanded to be available to the education system as a whole. The Knesset was not being asked at present to decide on general television. As an experiment the project did not require any such decision and only around 1966-1967 would the Knesset be called on to decide. The only question now under discussion was whether there were any prospects that this technology could help raise the standards of instruction in those subjects in which it would be introduced.

The Government believed that it was something we should take advantage of. Experience in other countries showed that the benefits of educational TV were immense and under the present circumstances no detrimental effect need be feared. The effectiveness of television had already been proved. Its use was expanding in every educational system that could afford it. It was in use in many of the states in the United States; France had pioneered in introducing it on a large scale; five years ago it was being used in England by eighty schools, today by six thousand. Teachers in villages and settlements far from the large centers of population attached more importance to it than urban teachers. The great advantage of television was that through visual demonstration it made things concrete for the pupil. That was the most effective form of teaching, especially in the natural sciences and in language instruction. It would also help in teaching Hebrew. All the leaders of educational systems that had introduced TV were confident of its effectiveness and working toward its expansion."
