29 PALESTINE Who Says That PALESTINE Is Our Land? "There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? No. They see one thing: we have come and we have stolen their [Palestinian] country. Why would they accept that?" - David Ben Gurion (Israeli Prime Minister 1949) "Let us not ignore the truth... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. - David Ben Gurion (Israeli Prime Minister 1949) “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.” - Mahatma Gandhi – Peaceful Ex-Leader of India (1938)

32 AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SAYS: Human rights defenders, working in the Occupied Territories of Palestine, are at risk of attack by Israeli settlers. Amnesty International is concerned at the latest such attack against those who seek, through their presence, to afford protection to Palestinians, and to bear witness to the abuses perpetrated against them by Israeli settlers in the area. Tove Johansson from Stockholm was with a small group of human rights workers to accompany Palestinian schoolchildren to their homes. The 19-year old Swedish human rights worker had her cheekbone broken by Israeli settlers.
