The Doctrine of Beitar

This foundation is merely the opposite of justice; it is falsehood. That man walking there in the street—if he has a right to exist, then in my eyes he has no right to exist; this is sometimes the case. Otherwise, the world will turn into a battle of predatory animals, in which not only the weakest will be delivered, but specifically the kind-hearted. The entire people must be a world of exploiters, or die. All will live by that same principle; and if it is to commit suicide—then all will commit suicide. But there is no morality according to which the glutton is permitted to eat as much as he wants, while on the other side one must starve to death behind the fence.

Let us dwell for a moment on the position of those who believe that the establishment of the "Iron Wall" is immoral. The main point is that we are settling a land against the will of the natives: All our other claims and explanations are rejected by this primary root—which is their unfortunate lack of consent. What remains, and is right, to do?

The simplest way—as it might seem—is to go and look for another land for our settlement. For example, Uganda. But the wise will wait and you will see the same problem again: in Uganda there is a population of natives. And besides them, all the peoples—white or black, or red and evil—have their own lands. Any attempt to turn the land into a perpetual battlefield is not something without substance. Meaning: if one is to settle, this agreement is immoral. After all, morality must be equal towards whites as it is towards blacks, correct? And one could hope that the Bushmen are not yet organized enough to start a war from their side—and perhaps they lack organization and vengeance; but this is even worse from a moral point of view—they will "suffer without knowing," and so too Uganda, if it agrees, then the plot grows and is the worst of all. Therefore, any other territory, regardless of its name, is "immoral," or morality is not decisive at all. In a place where there is only one "inhabitant," a village native, or a solitary one, dwelling there almost since the day of creation, and for the most part does not want a neighbor, or does not at all want a great day of foreign thoughts.
