As long as the Arabs feel that there is the least hope of getting rid of us, they will refuse to give up this hope in return for either kind words or for bread and butter, because they are not a rabble, but a living people.
--Ze'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky, November 4, 1923
You think there is one Arab who enjoys living in a State, which has a National Anthem: Hatikvah with words that say, 'nefesh yehudi omia' - the soul of the Jew yearns? ... You can't buy a person by giving him an indoor toilet. "You see, you had no toilet, now you have one." You can't come and say as the UJA says: "What do you want? We came and we turned the dessert into a garden" Let me tell you what the Arab says: "Yes it's true, but it was my dessert and now it's your garden.”
-- Rabbi Meir Kahane ZT”L, 1985
[For decades Israelis (especially on the Left) have cited the Bedouin population as proof Arabs and Jews could co-exist in the Jewish state. Looks like that pipe dream is finally coming to a close. df]

Desert, not "dessert".
