The grudge in the Islamic-Arab world was and is never about losing lives. But about losing honor...
Arab anti-Jewish genocide campaign: calls, plan pre 1948 defeat
- January 27, 1947, and in 1948:
Jamal Husseini, then spokesperson for the Arab Higher Committee explains Arab rejection to a State of Israel, that it will interrupt Arab 'race' "honogeneity." - July 1947:
Fawzi al-Qawuqji, (Arab nationalist military figure in the interwar period, who aided the Nazis, and then served as the Arab Liberation Army’s field commander in 1948): "The only option is the annihilation of every Jew - in Palestine and in every Arab state.” - Mid-August 1947:
Fawzi al-Qawuqji—soon to be named the head of the Arab League's volunteer army in Palestine, the Arab Liberation Army (ALA)—threatened that, should the vote go the wrong way, "we will have to initiate total war. We will murder, wreck and ruin everything standing in our way, be it English, American or Jewish". It would be a "holy war", the Arabs suggested, which might even evolve into "World War III". - Sept. 29, 1947:
Jamal el-Husseini, spokesman for the Arab Higher Committee, served notice today that they would drench the soil of the Holy Land "with the last drop of our blood in the lawful defense of all and every inch of it. - October 1947:
Arab League's Azzam Pasha threatens "a war of extermination." - 1947:
The Arab Higher Committee warned the British not to intervene in their violence against the Jews. It distributed a leaflet stating: "The Arabs have taken the Final Solution to the Jewish problem. The problem will be solved only in blood and fire. The Jews will soon be driven out." ("Final Solution" - of course Nazi euphemism for annihilating the Jews). - 1948:
Isma'il Safwat, who served as the Chief of Staff of the Arab Forces in Palestine (which included al-Qawuqji’s troops). He wrote down his goals in a telegram he sent to the Arab League: "The destruction of Jews in Palestine and the complete cleansing of them from this country." - April 1948:
The mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Muhammad Mahawif, issued a fatwa positing jihad in Palestine as the duty of all Muslims. - 9 March 1948:
al-Qawuqji stated that his objectives in Palestine were "the defeat of partition and the annihilation of the Zionists." - March 1948:
al-Qawuqji: "I have come to Palestine to stay and tight until Palestine is a free and united Arab country or until I am killed and buried here," he announced. His aim, he declared, borrowing the slogan that was becoming the leitmotiv of the Arab leadership, was "to drive all the Jews into the sea."
"Everything is ready," he proclaimed. "The battle starts when I give the word." - Aug 1, 1948:
Muslim Brotherhood's Hassan al-Banna:
"If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea."
