The historic wronging of Palestine
WRITTEN BY DAVID MORRISON (art by Carlos Latuff)
The state of Israel came into existence 60 years ago
on 14 May 1948. In the months before and after this
declaration, Jewish forces drove around 750,000
Palestinians from their homes. Over 500 villages
were emptied of their Palestinian population and most of
them were destroyed so that those expelled had no
homes to return to.
"Our thought is that the colonization of Palestine has to go
in two directions: Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel and the
resettlement of the Arabs of Eretz Israel outside the country.
The transfer of so many Arabs may seem at first unacceptable
economically, but is nonetheless practical. It does not require
too much money to resettle a Palestinian village on another land."

All I can say is that if you haven't already signed up
for the PTT Daily Digest, you are seriously missing out,
I think you'll agree that the above is just one of many quality
threads on the site but for anyone who likes a row or debate,
this has been posted on both Mordechai Vanunu Yahoo Groups,
both of which have very small membership, so I thought I
would put it about a bit:-
The PALESTINIANS could do with some internet support

Look at: http://www.mepeace.org/
Check out the forum discussion: The 60 Anniversary Of Nakba
mepeace.org/ has a similar format to one of those big
sites where 1000's of people register themselves
with photo and personal commentary, and details of
whether or not they are "single". The idea of this group is
to encourage peaceful contact between Palestinians and
Israelis and anyone else who is interested.
At present it looks more like war than peace.
The discussion at mepeace is only about Israel and
Palestine, and right now, the Palestinians could do with some support.
It looks as though the best support would come from those who are
prepared to argue with facts they have checked and can back up with
some kind of irrefutable documentation.
