It is amazing how amnesic the human mind is. Is it comfort or are we being fooled outright? Suddenly as the Palestinian issue gains momentum internationally, leaders, thinkers and media treat Palestinians and Israelis as though they were equal protagonists. Never have we witnessed a more dramatic change in the interpretation of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands. Lands that have been taken over not once, but twice, leaving an ever shrinking occupied 22% of original Palestine. And this, against numerous UN resolutions declaring such action contrary to international law and calling for Israeli withdrawal. Palestinians, not Israelis, are the refugees squashed into camps, undernourished, impoverished, their homes demolished. Palestinian refugees are not allowed to return to their land while any Jew of any origin has an automatic right to immigrate to Israel. Illegal Jewish settlements are expanded and new ones launched as Palestinians are crushed further into the ground by one of the world’s best-equipped and trained armies. There are no illegal settlements of Palestinians on Israeli lands. Palestinian leadership (good or bad) is arrested, marginalized, killed or put under house arrest while a deliberate campaign of destroying Palestinian infra structure, homes, farms is waged in the name of ‘security’. The petrator is called a ‘man of peace’ by the leader of the most powerful country in the world. The more the Palestinians are oppressed, disenfranchised, robbed of their lives and dignity, the more it is their fault. With a sweep of a magic wand the victim now deserves the treatment being inflicted. They have been turned into heathens who should walk upright the way their white masters want them to or become extinct, a new form of the Israeli adaptation of Darwin’s theory, evolve my way or die. Stateless Palestinians have risen up against Israeli occupation and oppression, without arms, tanks, planes, gun ships or missiles. Some have executed desperate acts of terror. However, it is the Palestinians that face daily terror, for the last 66 years, by a machine that controls every aspect of their lives...........
