Moshe Sharett’s Personal Diary and Other Documents

~ By Livia Rokach. Belmont, Massachusetts: Association of Arab American University Graduates, 1980. 73 pp. [found dead in her hotel room in Rome, 1984]
[daughter of Israel Rokach, a prominent Israeli politician who named her Iri (Hebrew, "my city"). She moved to Rome, where she identified herself as “an Italian writer and journalist of Palestinian origin” -- she was a correspondent for the Israeli daily Davar. She was Israel Radio's correspondent in Rome in the 1960s, and subsequently became correspondent of the Palestinian newspaper Al Fajr.]
 
"Israel's sacred terrorism: Prepare to be shocked! This document is the translation of the private diaries of Israel's second Prime Minster, Moshe Sharett. He had recorded the details of his official meetings in his private diary and it was eventually translated from Hebrew to English by Livia Rokach. The Zionist regime did their best to stop the publication of these diaries. Uri Avnery was concerned at that time of the perils to the Zionist state if it brought international attention to the diaries by taking the matter to court to stop its publication. He said: 'this would be a mistake of the highest order'. They stopped the litigation and it was indeed translated. It is a very frightening document! What the Zionists had in mind for the Arab people was demented, to say the least.
"More than any other document, this one did the most to enlighten me on the perils of Zionism, not only to the Palestinians but to the entire world."
"Sharett paraphrases chief of staff Moshe Dayan, as saying that Israel's method to acquire more territory vis a vis its Arab neighbors would be one of "provocation-and-revenge." When the Arab countries responded militarily to these provocations, the Israeli government would claim that they were unprovoked acts of aggression against poor little Jews. The Israeli public would be stimulated into a righteous frenzy of "revenge" to support Israeli "retalitaion" which would develop into such a military conflict where Israel could achieve its imperial goals. " sound familiar?

Israel's Sacred Terrorism

Most Israelis observe a conspiracy of silence by which certain subjects widely discussed in the Hebrew press are seldom aired in English-language media. One Israeli who dared to break that code of silence, however, is the late Livia Rokach, daughter of Israel Rokach, Minister of the Interior in the government of Moshe Sharett. She translated the diaries and she was eventually found dead in her hotel room in Rome. This document is riveting, a must read.
