Yehoshua: “We need to get out of Palestinian lands for the terror to stop.”

In a lecture at Tel Aviv University Tuesday, June 18, Yehoshua spoke right after the resistance operation that took place in west Jerusalem. “The actions of the Jews are the real reason behind the Israeli misery from the age of the Nazis until the Palestinian resistance fighters,” he said.

Yehoshua said that the state of the Palestinians now is similar to that of the Germans during Hitler’s era and said that it was stupid. “After we lost six million victims in our war against Christians, we are still willing to lose five million in our war with Muslims. What a loss!” he said.

Speaking about the resistance operation which was carried out in the West Bank, Yehoshua said: “When a Palestinian sets out to carry out an operation like this, he tells himself: ‘If my blood is destined to mix with the blood of hundreds of my people in a camp that is no larger than 500 meter squares, then let it better mix with the blood of my enemies.’”

Yehoshua’s comments triggered strong reactions in Israel. The Israeli radio show ‘Good Morning Israel’ hosted Yehoshua and tried to dissuade him to go back on his comments, but he said: “I’m not the reason behind the catastrophe between the Jews and the Muslim Palestinians, nor the one between the Jews and the German Christians. What I would like to emphasize is that we need to go out of the Palestinian lands and dismantle the settlements so that we can stop terrorism.”
