Israel’s efforts to erase Palestinian history reflect ‘incremental genocide...

[jillian]

The question about genocide– yes, it’s an incremental genocide. And I think that’s a word that gives a lot of people pause and it certainly should. We don’t see the absolutely mass slaughters, although in Gaza I think we’ve seen something very much like it that we usually associate with genocide. But– the attempts to erase a people, to just erase them, to erase their history, I think follow a logic that can only be called genocidal. I mean, every time someone says– and people say it all the time, I get it on twitter all the time– “There’s no such thing as a Palestinian,” or “There was nobody there when the Zionists arrived”– these are genocidal statements, these are attempts to erase a culture, erase a history, decimate a people and I think they should be recognized as that.

Once again the anti-Semite terrorost supporter has it backwards.

He claimed to be Jewish in one of his posts. So can one of the tribe be an anti-Semite? Or anti-Jew?

You'll have to ask Israel Shahak.

Nahhhhh...

It's a multi-generational (and nearly-completed) effort to kick nasty Muzzie-Arab ass back to the east bank of the Jordan River where they belong...

In Arab Palestine...

a.k.a. Jordan.

Trans-Jordania was a separate territory. The inhabitants of Trans-Jordan were Hashemite Bedouins, not Muslim or Christian Palestinians.

Your invented "country of Pal'istan" was nothing more than a geographic territory, not unlike Trans-Jordan, similarly occupied by Bedouins, Moslem squatters and European xtian Crusaders.

Palestinian family life before the Nakba in pictures
IPS has released a photographic collection, depicting the daily family life of Palestinians, long before they were forced to flee their homes.

Founded in 1963, The Institute for Palestine Studies is a non-profit organization that has been devoted to providing the world with the information needed on the occupied country.

Having been first established in Beirut, it is considered the oldest institute in the world whose work is exclusively dedicated to the documentation, research, analysis and publication on Palestinian affairs. The organization has published over 600 books, monographs and documentary collections in three languages, English, Arabic and French.

So.. we can agree. There was no "country of Pal'istan" as a select few would like to re-write history.

However, your addition of "blah, blah, blah" does make for a compelling argument.

Or Stealing someone else's Land, Eh?

In the meantime the West Bank is host to more than 600.000 illegal Jewish settlers have spread their tentacles over stolen Palestinian land where — in the terminology of the Old Testament — they are the 11th plight. Meanwhile, these illegal Jewish settlers are involved in the essential decisions regarding the ethnic cleansing policies of Palestine. They literally siphon off Palestinian water; they murder innocent Palestinians with impunity; and they perpetrate the terror watched over by the Jewish “Defence Force.” Such terror is particularly brutal in Hebron where a couple of hundred hard-core settlers terrorise hundreds pf thousands of Palestinians.

What stolen Pal'istanian land ™ would that be?

Here's one Example AMONA, West Bank — Waves of police on Wednesday surrounded a Jewish settlement in the West Bank deemed illegal by the Israeli high court

That's an example of you not paying attention. Where is this invented "country of Pal'istan" which The Zionists™ are stealing land from?

While the German genocide order has never been found, the Israeli genocide plan has been.

I am sure this will ruffle some more feathers, but PLAN DALET or plan "D" is known.

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

 

[Shusha]

A culture which reclaims their indigenous culture from a foreign, invading, competing culture is not "erasing" the invading culture. Just as an indigenous culture which reclaims their land from a foreign, invading, competing culture is not "stealing" land.

The Jewish people are reclaiming our heritage.

And as a side note, from Tinmore's video, the idea that hummus is a specifically "Palestinian" dish, as opposed to Greek, Egyptian, Lebanese, Israeli, Turkish, Syrian or Jordanian, is just a bit on the silly side. Seriously, claiming that hummus is "Palestinian" is to be equated with incremental genocide? Or that Israel used traditional regional Arab embroidery in its advertising? The horror!

 

[montelatici]

Europeans established a colonial project in Palestine. The invaders were not indigenous, the natives were indigenous, Zionists were Europeans. The Zionists reclaimed nothing, they stole the land from the native inhabitants.
