Re: MEMO launches Ilan Pappe’s book Lobbying for Zionism

This man has always said that he came to Palestine to live alongside the Palestinians and not instead of the Palestinians. I am an Arab and I get very angry when I read what he had to say because who does he think gave him the goddamn right to invite himself to Palestine without the consent of the indigenous population of Palestine? Where else does he think he can invite himself and tell the natives that he is there to live alongside them? He also said that Zionism has many positive sides and that he would not have been born if it was not for Zionism that made Palestine available for his people to come to. I get angry again because I don’t know why a German Jew would think that the Arabs are responsible for him. And why did he think that Palestine was the only place where he should go to and not Morocco or Thailand or India or any other place on the planet? The reason why his people chose Palestine was because they were looking for a Jewish state on stolen Arab land. Did I already mention that I am an Arab? That is why I am very angry just now as I am writing this comment!
