The prisoners were to be transported in them later.
"Some Israelis in Phalange uniforms were with the party. "The Israeli friends who accompany you, our officers told us, 'are also volunteers who have not told their army that they are taking part. They will make your work easier They directed us not to make use of our firearms, if at all possible. 'Everything must proceed noiselessly. We expect you back in three hours' A Phalange officer kept contact with the Israelis at the entrance to the camp.
"Then we saw other comrades. Up until then they had also observed instructions and had not shot. They had to do their work with bayonettes and knives. Bloody corpses were lying in the alleys in the entrances to the houses. Now I saw once again the Israeli advisers who had been at our secret meeting. One, using a loud speaker, signalled us to move back to the area of the camp entrance. A few minutes later the Israelis opened up with all their guns on the troublesome area of the camp.
"At about four in the morning my squad went back to the truck. Up until that point apparently only one had been used. We drove back to spend the night at the entrance to the area. When there was morning light we went back into the camp.

what some of the ideologues of the Zionist movement have had to say.
In 1923 Vladimir Jabotinsky, who is the ideological forebearer of the Likud leadership of Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, wrote an article called "The Iron Wall," which became one of the decisive documents of the entire Zionist movement. Jabotinsky wrote as follows:
«There can be no kind of discussion of a voluntary reconciliation between us and the Arabs, not now, and not in the forseeable future.... The natives will always obstinately struggle against the colonists-and it is all the same whether they are cultured or uncultured.... All colonization, even the most restricted, must continue in defiance of the will of the native population. Therefore it can continue and develop only under defense forces which comprise an Iron Wall through which the local population cannot break through. This is our Arab policy." ("The Iron Wall," Rassvet, Nov. 4, 1923)
The Zionist program involved not just expropriation of resources and the exploitation of labor. It involved the substitution of a colonizing workforce for the indigenous population. It involved the denial of the existence of that population through the program of "A land without a people for a people without a land." brought to Palestine Adolph Eichman and Baron Von Mildenstein of the SS in 1932 and 1933.
Indeed, this collaboration between the leaders of the Zionist movement and the Nazis, can best be demonstrated by a proposal for cooperation dated Jan. 11, 1941, between the National Military Organization, that is to say the Irgun, and the Third Reich. This proposal became known as the Ankara document, having been discovered after the war in the files of the German Embassy in Turkey. It states the following:
"The evacuation of the Jewish masses from Europe is a precondition for solving the Jewish question; but this can only be made possible and complete through the settlment of these masses in the home of the Jewish people, Palestine, and through the establishment of a Jewish state in its historical boundaries....
"The NO, which is well-acquainted with the goodwill of the German Reich government and its authorities towards Zionist activity inside Germany and towards Zionist emigration plans, is of the opinion that:
"1. Common interests could exist between the establishment of a New Order in Europe in conformity with the German concept, and the true national aspirations of the Jewish people as they are embodied by the NMO.
"2. Cooperation between the new Germany and a renewed volkish-national Hebrium would be possible and "3. The establishment of the historical Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, and bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East.
"Proceeding from these considerations, the NMO in Palestine, under the condition the above-mentioned national aspirations of the Israeli freedom movement are recognized on the side of the (continued on page 15, in “BALLOTINAt Opinion—'84 elections "Twin parties won't get my vote"”)
