> David Ben-Gurion, one of the father founders of Israel, described
> Zionist aims in 1948 thus: "A Christian state should be
> established [in Lebanon], with its southern border on the Litani
> river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab
> Legion's strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan
> too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on,
> we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo... And in this
> fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers' account
> with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram" *.
>
> 50 years after the Arab defeat in the1948 war, which resulted in
> the establishment of Israel, many of Ben-Gurion's stated aims can
> still be discerned in the language of Israeli and Zionist
> leaders. Some modifications have become apparent, in large part
> as a result of Arab resistance, but the biblical language in
> which Ben-Gurion chose to state his meaning starkly expresses the
> deeply-rooted nature of these violent fantasies of conquest and
> destruction.
>
> Resistance, in this instance through a better comprehension of
> the history of the struggle, as well as the writing of our own
> version of it, becomes more necessary than ever. Israel cannot be
> allowed to write the history of the past fifty years
> unchallenged. It is in this conviction that Al-Ahram Weekly
> presents the first in a regular series of articles designed to
> document the history and nature of Arab-Israeli struggle, as well
> as that of Palestinian dispossession and exile.
