Thread Name: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
Actually, the article is not an indictment of either side. It is a look at a book that examines a relatively unknown facet of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I don't agree. It shows what I have been saying for a long time; that the majority of Palestinians did not hate Jews or commit violence, and it shows some if the manipulations that the Zionist leadership used to work toward their goal of displacing Palestinians. It also supports the argument I have been making that al-Husseini was appointed to the position of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in violation of the wishes of the majority of the Palestinians and of the Palestinian leadership.

Some of the arguments that people defending the actions of the Zionist leadership and the Israeli leadership have been making are the idea that the Palestinians hated Jews and that the majority of them wanted to "drive the Jews into the sea", and they have been using this excuse to try to legitimize what has been done to the Palestinians. I have been arguing since 2002 that this is a terrible libel that has been and is being committed against the Palestinians, and that it's not true.

Your article vindicates what I have been saying since 2002.
