| there was an article by Myron Benvenisti in Haaretz, where he mentions that the early zionist leaders wanted to destroy Muslim holy places. A team of conscientious israeli archeologists protested, but to no avail. And Ben Gurion himself set up a committee that would oversee the destruction of traces of Palestinian culture in & around the villages. That process goes on today. Just a couple of weeks ago, it was reported in Haaretz that a Bedouin mosque was destroyed. No question that along with settlements, israel is creating facts on the ground.Re: solid zionist history. Well, a lot of it is there in the Old Testament. the hebrews are not the only people with history,but they are the ones who claim real estate on the basis of their tribes` accounts of their travels in the region! The ancestors of the Palestinians simply were there.They never left the land. Freethinker: I have heard all sorts of zionist propaganda about Arafat`s personal life,because he refused to sign! Kudos to him! |
