Pamela, I agree with the essence of what you are saying. However it is not that Zeevi did not use the term transfer but how he used it that is misused, misquoted.
Zeevi used the term in this context (he had been giving a lecture on the beginnings of modern Zionism in Palestine in the early 1800s and how it had developed)
? the transfer of the Jewish nation from the Diaspora to Zion and the transfer of the Arabs from lands neighboring Palestine, who came here in the late 1800s to enjoy the fruits of the prosperity that the Jews brought to this land. And now the time has come for the third transfer, the separation of peoples, so that they will stop murdering each other...
Rechavam Zeevi was born in Jerusalem in 1926. Rechavam Zeevi was murdered by Palestinian terrorists who shot him in the head at the Jerusalem Hyatt Hotel, October 17th 2001.
