Zionists and colonialists "scatter[ed] and persecut[ed]" Palestinians "using Nazi methods"
“The scheme to steal Palestine did not begin with the publication of the decision to partition [Palestine] and declare the state of ‘Israel’ in 1948. This scheme goes back many years in the history of the Zionist movement, especially since the period of the establishment of the Lovers of Zion [organizations] (1882-1895) [all parentheses in source], and the arrival of the first organized Zionist immigration from Russia in 1882, through Herzlian Zionism (1895-1905) and the election of David Ben Gurion in 1937, when the Zionist movement entered the phase of belligerent Zionism, and until 1948, all under the patronage and with the aid of the world colonialist powers. The Nakba (i.e., ‘the catastrophe,’ Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) occurred at a time when the Arab nation everywhere was living in difficult conditions, under rulers and colonialists, and the Arab governments were tools in the hands of colonialism and Zionism… When the Arab countries grabbed the reins of power from the Palestinian people, on the orders of the colonialists, they opened the door to colonialism and Zionism, and turned the Palestinian people into lines of desperate refugees… in addition, the Arab governments drew our nation into narrow conflicts that served opportunist interests, bringing about the realization of the aspirations of Zionism and colonialism to scatter and persecute our people using Nazi methods.”
