As they attemp to recreate new names to erase the past, they also create stories like the halocaust to justify their existence. What a vile group and Ben Grun is equally a vile Zionist.
A few quotes from my stash:
Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population. ~ David Ben Gurion quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p. 99.
There is no such thing as a Palestinian people. It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn’t exist. ~ Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June 1969.
The Jews do not wipe out: they annihilate! They erase from history as the ancient Egyptians tired to erase Pharaoh Atkenatan after his death. The best place to find Palestine, the old Palestine, is Palestine Remembered, a site that does its best to keep all of these old memories intact for future generations.
I am frustrated as one who does not speak Arabic as that leaves me at a great disadvantage, however the photographs speak volumes and there is enough English to keep one going. There are many “before” and “after” photos of Palestinian villages. There are also many “Do you know where this is?” photos asking people to identify the images from the past. A great site to lose many hours in, especially if you are just sorta new to this whole thing…. but equally enlightening for those of us who have been following the situation for decades.
