This is according to Iyad al-Qatrawi, an analyst of issues related to the Zionist regime, writing in an article in Al-Bayan regarding the Zionist mentality and character against other nations. The article is as follows:
Since the establishment of the Zionist regime, generations of Zionists have been raised with a mentality based on violence and weapons. This mentality is nourished by religious texts and extremist ideas derived from the Talmud and the Torah.
These texts incite feelings of aggression and violence and are used to justify massacres and attacks against the Palestinian people and other peoples. David Ben-Gurion said, “Israel cannot exist except by force and arms,” and Menachem Begin stated, “Massacres like Deir Yassin were necessary for Israel’s existence.”
Through the texts of the Bible and the Talmud, the Jewish character finds a sacred justification for the use of violence and aggression to fulfill prophecy. These texts are a constant source for justifying murder and destruction in the name of religion. The Old Testament is replete with texts that encourage the use of violence as a weapon to achieve dominance. For example, a verse from the Book of Deuteronomy says, “The Lord your God will abandon them before you and throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed.”
This aggressiveness is not limited to wars. It also includes the ruthless extermination of non-Jewish peoples, as stated in the Talmud and rabbinical edicts, one of which was issued by Rabbi Vidan Zimil, who emphasized the necessity of killing even civilians during wars.
Brutality and violence are an integral part of the Jewish heritage, which glorifies religious warfare and calls for bloodshed. The Torah and Talmud texts call for the complete destruction of cities and their inhabitants. In the Book of Joshua, we see that when Joshua invaded the land of Canaan with his Israelite army, they left no living race in any of the cities they conquered.
After capturing Jericho, they put everything in the city to the sword—men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys—and burned the city with all that was in it. They did the same with Ai. The relevant texts tell us that Joshua burned the city and “made it a heap of ruins forever”.

Throughout history, Jews have used these texts as an excuse to justify brutal attacks, such as the Deir Yassin and Sabra and Shatila massacres. This brutality is deeply rooted in Zionist society and is fueled by educational institutions that indoctrinate generations of Zionists with aggression and violence.
Based on biblical teachings, racism in Jewish Talmudic texts is a fundamental pillar in the formation of the Zionist mentality. Jews see themselves as God’s chosen people and believe that other peoples (goyim) were created to serve them. This notion justifies the enslavement and destruction of others when necessary, as it says in the book of Deuteronomy: “You are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord has chosen you to be a special people for Him.”
Close Connection of Zionism’s Existence with Aggression
The texts of the Bible and the Talmud reinforce violence and aggression in the Zionist character, making it difficult for “Israel” to live in peace with its neighbors or to lay down its arms. Statements by Zionist leaders, such as Ben-Gurion and Begin, emphasize that the existence of the Zionist regime is closely linked to violence and aggression.
In other words, this regime can only survive through force and weapons, which reinforces the doctrine of annihilation that has historically dominated its politics.
In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Arabs and Zionists, an understanding of the Jewish Zionist character plays an important role in explaining its aggressive behavior toward Arabs. This aggressive behavior is rooted in deep religious and historical factors, including drawing inspiration for the spirit of aggression from the Jewish religious heritage, traditions of Zionist thought and behavior, and the glorification of power and cruelty as supreme virtues.
The idea of aggression in the Zionist character comes from deep religious roots. When reading the Old Testament, the idea of the struggle between good and evil emerges as the central axis of human relations, embodied in the warlike texts found in Genesis and other books.
This ongoing struggle portrays the Jews as divine instruments for the fulfillment of God’s will on earth, which gives them the right to attack and occupy the lands of others.
The most prominent example of this is the war that Abraham (AS) led against King Keder-Laomer in the Jordan Valley, as they claim.
The Old Testament portrays this event as part of the Jewish justification for usurping historical victories. The Old Testament aims to instill deep military traditions in the Jewish soul and help shape their religious doctrine that glorifies war and conquest. Zionism, both as an ideology and as a behavior, is characterized by its racial and religious bigotry. And it carries within itself a persecution complex and fear of anti-Semitism.
The Zionist movement exploited this complex to formulate its settlement project in Palestine. When the Israeli regime was founded in 1948, the Zionists ignored the presence of the Arab population that had lived in Palestine for more than 13 centuries and adopted the slogan “A land without a people for a people without a land”. They forcibly displaced the Palestinians as part of their colonial policies.

Talmudic teaching among Jews is revealed as a destructive tendency towards non-Jews. For example, in the book of Numbers (the fourth book of the Bible), it is stated: “Behold, a people shall rise up like a lion, and like a young lion: they shall not lie down until they have devoured the prey, and drunk the blood of the slain.”
The book of Deuteronomy also states: “The Lord your God will drive out these nations before you and deliver their kings into your hand, and you will blot out their name from under heaven.” Meanwhile, the process of destroying the opposing peoples appears as a divine command: “But of the cities of these nations which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes.”
The inevitable fulfillment of this divine command is evident in the warning of the consequences of disobedience: “If you do not drive out the inhabitants of this land from before you, those whom you leave behind will be like thorns in your eyes and will harass you in the land where you live.”
As a result of the accumulation of wars and conflicts, power and cruelty have taken root among the younger generations of Zionists. This spirit of aggression is instilled in the souls of the youth from an early age through rigorous training that subjects them to severe endurance tests in harsh desert environments.
This training seeks not only to produce strong soldiers; it also aims to suppress human desires and cultivate cruelty and bloodlust; a trait clearly evident in the character of Meir Herzion, who has become a legend in the Israeli army.
The aggression that characterizes the Zionist Jewish character towards the Arabs is not a new development; it is the product of centuries of religious and historical inspiration.
Through the reading of Jewish religious texts, Zionism’s adoption of traditions of war and conquest, and the glorification of force and cruelty, an aggressive mentality is formed among Zionist youth that seeks to dominate and control the land and people of Palestine.
The Talmudic Jewish religious texts, which address moral and legal issues, including those related to murder, state that killing a non-Jew is not a crime, but rather pleasing to God.
Talmudic texts explicitly state: “Kill the righteous non-Israelites”. This text prohibits a Jew from saving any member of other nations from destruction or helping them escape from predicament, because by doing so, they would be saving the life of an “idolater”.
Elsewhere, it is stated that it is just for a Jew to kill any infidel with his own hand, because he who sheds the blood of an infidel is like one who sacrifices to God.
Other texts add that anyone who kills a Christian, foreigner, or pagan will be rewarded for eternity in heaven and in the “fourth palace”, while killing a Jew is equivalent to killing all of humanity, and saving a Jew is equivalent to saving the entire world.
In Talmudic Jewish teachings, a son is considered a part of his father, symbolizing that the Jewish soul is distinct from other souls. They believe that the Jewish soul contains a part of God, while the Gentile soul is considered demonic or animal-like. These texts establish the idea of the violence and superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the people of the earth, and consider them a “chosen people” selected by God.
These teachings instill in the minds of Jews an inferior view of others, non-Jews, because their humanity is destroyed. Therefore, killing and physical destruction, in their belief, becomes a practical step that completes faith. It is considered a kind of ritual for religious Jews. Examples of this include the Deir Yassin massacre carried out by Menachem Begin, the Sabra and Shatila massacre carried out by Ariel Sharon in Lebanon, and the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre in Al-Khalil (Hebron) in 1994, carried out by Zionist Baruch Goldstein, which killed 27 Muslims while they were praying and injured more than fifty others.

What is happening in Gaza today of the killing and destruction of children, women, and men is nothing but the living implementation of this Talmudic thought, as it is said: “Whoever sheds the blood of a non-Jew, his work is accepted by God as one who offers a sacrifice.”
Goldstein became a national hero, as did his leaders who raised him on this Talmudic Zionist ideology, which glorifies only the Jewish people as a special race before God and that all others should be crushed, killed, and burned as sacrifices to God.
Zionism remains one of the most controversial racist movements, not only because of its destructive goals, but also because of the religious texts and Talmudic interpretations it relies on to justify its nationalist, expansionist, and settlement-building project, even if it uses all manner of illegal methods and means to achieve it.
