b99, the pure viciousness of destroying people’s food, prepared with care and love, for no other reason than to amuse a sadistic racial supremacist, is what the Palestinians face, day in day out. The paramount apartheid states, South Africa and Israel, came into existence together in the late 1940s, but the Afrikaaner one disappeared, to Zionism’s eternal regret, 15 years ago. The other grows more dangerous, vicious and deranged by the day. The Palestinians have suffered too much already. When they are finally liberated I believe world Jewry ought to be forced to pay reparations of billions. They can afford it, from their loose change. Just the Madoff money, which has ‘made off’ to Israel would probably suffice.

Back in the day (1993) I was riding in a car driven by my Palestinian friend somewhere in ‘Greater’ Jerusalem. We had a very savory chicken and rice dish, Ma’luba, in the trunk – enough to feed the ten or so people he was having for dinner at his house in the Qalandia refugee camp on the outskirts. We get to a checkpoint where they wave Jews by, and stop Palestinians. As it happens, my friend did not have his seatbelt on (not so rare back then). He had to get out of the car, answer many questions for a very long time and then open the trunk. The IDF stooge found the container of chicken and rice – stuck his gun all the way down, and of course felt nothing different. He then proceeded to flay the food with his rifle, rice, chicken and potatoes, etc. flying all over the trunk. Finally he said we could go. Have a nice day.

When we got to his house he showed me a video of his beating by IDF – a beating which included being struck in the arms and shoulders repeatedly with the gun butt. Now I understood why his left arm was shorter and a bit deformed.

What was/is in their minds has never changed. Ever.
What is in our minds is what either changes or does not.
Depending on what we desire (must) to believe.

the time has arrived to finally recognize or evaluate as true that perhaps only one ‘jew’ in 1k-10k is for the ROR and a binational state.
We also know that most prominent ‘jewish’ critics of israeli crimes favor counties for pal’ns and a ghost country for israeli pal’ns and even a ghost country for mul[a]tos.
klein, finkelstein, chomsky fully support all initial crimes committed in the first tsunami and now and for decades dwell solely on waves and ripples cause dby tsunami of ’47-’49.
Having said this, we cannot know what was in their minds in, let’s say, yrs ’47-’90. None of them said, as far as i know, what they were for in expallestine. But we now know! tnx

Good piece Jeff.

You make a very important point in the last paragraph that’s true not just of the on-going Palestine genocide, but of information generally: “it’s common for Palestinian supporters to brandish their critiques garnered from leftist academics, to play them as their aces.”

Whilst the knowledge, wisdom and opinions of ‘experts’ is always useful, and should always be considered, it is nowhere near as valuable as the personal testimony of the ordinary people who must endure (or in the cases you describe – inflict) whatever obscenity power chooses to impose on them. The wonderful journalist Martha Gelhorn chose this principle for the title of her superb book “View from the Ground”, reinforcing the importance of personal witness testimony above all else.

Society’s conditioning to the opposite view – that nothing is as important as ‘expert’ testimony – is, of course, a carefully managed requirement for proper mind control of the masses.
