Talkback
Title:And what about Israel facing history?

The Palestinians need to face the truth about the history of European Jews. It`s real and can`t be denied.

Unless, of course, the Palestinians look at the history of Zionism and see how it has quite successfully ignored and suppressed the truth about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The Palestinians can see how lies like the claim that Arab radio broadcasts urged the Palestinians to flee in 1947, the claim that there were no Palestinians in the first place, and the Israeli denial of the Armenian Holocaust just to curry favor with Turkey, have been entirely successful. Most of the world has fallen for them, while at the same time trying to force the Palestinians to admit the history of those who have stolen their lands.

The Palestinians have as much right to deny history as does Israel. The only difference is that Israel`s denial is much more sophisticated and far more effective. The US and the West have fallen for it, hook, line, and sinker.
