Re: Ilan Pappe’s book Ten myths about Israel challenges the propaganda campaign

This German Jew is in the habit of telling so many lies but most people do not even suspect that he is lying so much – so let me educate you.

1. He is in the habit of saying that his people came to Palestine to live alongside the Palestinians and not instead of the Palestinians. If somebody came busting through the door of this man and then proceeds to reassure him that he is there to live alongside him and not in place of him, would we expect him to be so happy about it? What exactly is the connection between this German Jew and Palestine that he feels he is entitled to live alongside the Palestinians without the consent of the Palestinians? We are supposed to admire this German Jew because he was willing to share the land of the Palestinians with the Palestinians and not want it all for himself. How generous.

2. This man said that ‘it was the right of the Jews as any other people to seek self determination’. I have no idea what he was trying to say but what he never said was how the European Jews are connected to Palestine. All the Jews claim to be the Hebrews returning to Palestine but this man has never said that and therefore he doesn’t say anything about how the European Jews are connected to Palestine or what their claim to Palestine is based on – sleek operator.

3. When he said his family would never have survived if they were not able to come to Palestine. Therefore he was telling us that there was no other place on the planet where his family could have gone therefore they had the right to come to Palestine. This man never tells us when his family arrived in Palestine except to say that they went there in the 1930s but if he could give us the year when his family arrived in Palestine, then we can show him immigration information about where the European Jews went.

4. He is always lecturing people about how the Zionist project is settler colonialism similar to the Americans, the Australians. But we would expect him to compare apples with apples – and therefore – he should have been comparing the Zionist Enterprise with the other European countries that had invaded and occupied Arab countries but he doesn’t like that scenario because they had all left and he doesn’t like the idea of the European Jews leaving Palestine.
