ZIONISM FROM THE STANDPOINT OF ITS VICTIMS 109 ing” the restless nationalist leaders, whose main sin seems to be that they encourage other natives to chafe at their enforced inferiority, the government should form “ a special team . . . to examine the personal habits of . , . leaders and other negative people and this information should be made available to the electorate.” Not content then with “ diluting” and manipulating the Arab citizens of Israel, Koenig goes on to suggest ways for economi­ cally “ neutralizing” and “ encumbering" them. Very little of this can be effective, however, unless there were some method of somehow checkmating the “ large population of frustrated intelligentsia forced by a mental need to seek relief. Expres­ sions of this are directed against the Israeli establishment of the state.” Koenig appeared to think it natural enough for Arabs to be kept frustrated, for in reading his suggestions there is little to remind one that Arabs are people, or that his report was written not about Jews by a Nazi during World War II, but in 1976 by a Jew about his A ra b co-citizens. The master stroke of Koenig's plan comes when he discusses the social engineer­ ing required to use the A r a b ’s backward "Levantine charac­ ter" against itself. Since Arabs in Israel are a disadvantaged community, this reality must be enhanced as follows: a) The reception criteria for Arab university students should be the same as for Jewish students and this must also apply to the granting of scholarships. A meticulous implementation of these rules will produce a natural selection [the Darwinian terminology speaks eloquent­ ly for itself] and will considerably reduce the number of Arab students. Accordingly, the number of low-standard graduates will also decrease, a fact that will facilitate their absorption in work after studies [the plan here is to make certain that young Arabs would easily be assimilated into menial jobs, thus ensuring their intellectual emasculation], b) Encourage the channeling of students into technical professions, the physical and natural sciences. These studies leave less time for dabbling in nationalism and the dropout rate is higher. [Koenig's ideas about the incompatibility
