Original Note:
Menachem Begin never said this. The supposed source is journalist Amnon Kapeliouk, of Begin making the statement in a Knesset speech. Initially attributed to Texe Marrs, the quote was years later attributed to Kapeliouk to lend it legitimacy. It has been thoroughly debunked: https://www.israellycool.com/2021/11/23/did-menachem-begin-really-say-our-race-is-the-master-race-palestinians-are-beasts-walking-on-two-legs/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texe_Marrs
