Palestine Speaks Narratives of Life Under Occupation

The occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has been one of the world's most widely reported yet least understood human rights crises for over four decades. In this oral history collection, men and women from Palestine—including a fisherman, a settlement administrator, and a marathon runner—describe in their own words how their lives have been shaped by the historic crisis.

A few quotes from Rashid Khalidi 's The One Hundred Years' War on Palestine

On equality, moral legitimacy, and Zionism being a blood and soil Central European nationalism.

Gotta say, this book breaks it down 💯


@palestine @israel
@bookstodon

Imagining scholars looking back one hundred years from now, historian Zeev Sternhall asked, "When exactly did the Israelis understand that their cruelty towards the non-Jews in their grip in the Occupied Territories, their determination to break the Palestinians' hopes for independence, or their refusal to offer asylum to African refugees began to undermine the moral legitimacy of their national existence?"
The Palestinian he [Miki Zohar] said, "does not have the right of self-determination because he is not the proprietor of the land. I want him as a resident because of my honesty, as he was born here, he lives here, and I would never tell him to leave. I regret to say it, but they suffer from one major defect: they were not born Jews." This connection between between an exclusive right to land and peoplehoodis central to a specific type of "blood and soil" Central European nationalism, which is the ground from which Zionism sprang.

Goldberg wanted to consult with his government, my father told me flatly. I was incredulous. How much consultation was needed to impose a ceasefire resolution? With a strange bitter smile, my father responded dispassionately in Arabic. "Don't you understand?" he said. "The Americans are giving the Israelis a little more time." ---

Welcome Elizabeth!
The UN created Israel. The international community supports Israel’s right to exist.
There is no debate with organisations that do not.
There is no lack of information either.

Tamir Sorek just wrote on FB:
"Sometimes I am surprised to find in US media a simple, sane, and human explanation for the dynamics in Palestine/Israel.
Hussein Ibish, on CBS: "structures of violence are hardwired into any relationship defined by the control of one people by another in a contest for land and power."
