The trouble with the Zionist supporters on Mudcat and elsewhere is that they will not face up to the history of Palestine.
The Zionists have spent decades slaughtering the Palestinians and expelling them from their homes and land and indeed their country.
The state of Israel was founded on Palestinian land.The Palestinian people had to be terrorised,slaughtered and exiled for that to happen.
In 1967 the Palestinians on the West Bank faced a further onslaught with the invasion by Israel.Who were these Palestinians? In the main they were the refugees who had fled from what is now Israel.
Since then they have been shelled,bombed,shot at and imprisoned.This is the daily fare for Palestinians.At the heart of the matter is the stealing of Palestinian land by Israel.
As stated previously the Zionist presence on the West Bank in 1967 was precisely nil.Now there are 400000 armed Zionist paramilitary colonialists who steal land, shoot into Palestinian villages , build the apartheid wall and humiliate the Palestinians on a daily basis.
The Zionist response to a criticism of this on this thread is to demand the recognition of the 1967 borders.They show no concern or understanding for the Palestinian people ...the indiginous population of Palestine...How could they? Zionism has always trained its adherents in the belief that the land is God given to the Zionist people and others, despite being settled there for hundreds if not thousands of years, must depart.
There will never be peace for Palestinians and Israelis while Palestinian land is stolen ,their identity denied and their right to return refused.
The Zionists demand that the victim apologises to the aggressor!And so the Palestinians fight back!
