Speaker 0: When I say the regime, I mean, that successive governments were all loyal to the same ideological, foundation. And indeed, I find the idea that in a country where half of the people are not Jewish, a state cannot be founded on the basis of ethnic exclusivity or supremacy. There needs to be a more democratic, a more egalitarian, a more fair political outfit that would respect the rights and aspirations of everyone who lives there. I think my life story, especially the fact that my family, came from Germany originally and, suffered. And escape.
But it was also a family that was a victim of racism, of ethnic cleansing and extermination. And as such Jews who faced extermination. Absolutely. Who needed a haven. And could not become themselves victimizers who would apply the same methods to someone else.
Your father, to be clear though, was a passionate Zionist. I don't know if he was a passionate Zionist. He would have preferred probably to come to the United States or England, but their doors were closed. So he like so many German Jews who were not Zionist, they found a way to Palestine. But I don't think that he would have condoned, the ethnic cleansing of 1948.
I don't think he would accept that in order to survive, You're entitled to either ethnically cleanse or exterminate someone else. Having a safe haven for people who are victimized, does not give them the license to victimize someone else. Ethnic cleansing is not about meditated or only planned idea. Ethnic lensing is an operation in the end of which, 1 ethnic group is being displaced by another. Nobody can argue with the fact that half of Palestine's people were expelled, that half of Palestine's cities and villages were destroyed, the Palestinians lost Palestine, because Zionism created a Jewish state.
This is by even the most conservative definition, an act of ethnic lens. If this is so, one has to answer a very simple question. Why were half of the people who became Palestinian refugees were already expelled before the war even started?
