In the article, “Rural Settlement and Urban Settlement”
published in Hayarden in December of 1934, B. Netanyahu [senior]
compared the Land of Israel to America, the Jews
to the citizens of the United States and the Arabs
to the Indians. “The conquest of the soil is one
       of the first and most fundamental projects
of every colonization,” he wrote.
“The state is not simply an arithmetic concept of the number
of people but also a geographical concept.
          A member of the Anglo-Saxon race,
who was in constant conflict with the redskins,
  did not content himself with establishing
the huge metropolises of New York and San Francisco
on the shores of the two oceans that border the United States.
Along with that he strove to ensure for himself
the route between those two metropolises. ...
Had the conquerors of America left the lands in the hands
of the Indians, there would now be at most
a few European metropolises in the United States
and the whole country would be inhabited
by millions of redskins, as the tremendous need
for agricultural produce in the European metropolises
           and European culture would have led
to the tremendous natural population growth
of the natives in the agricultural areas
and ultimately they would have overrun the cities as well.”
