The Nakba “is a process of ethnic cleansing, a process that has been on-going for 64 years to date and is continuing”.



Most Israeli Jews have no idea of what they did to the Palestinians in 1948.

Those who do know don’t think that what was done was wrong. But that’s only the tip of an iceberg of ignorance.

Question: Is completion of the liquidation of the Palestinian presence in historical Palestine really Zionism’s mission?

I believe the answer is “Yes” and, that unless the major powers led by America summon up the will to call and hold Zionism’s monster child to account for its crimes, there will be a final ethnic cleansing of Palestine at some point in a foreseeable future.

I also believe that Matar [Ibrahim Matar, an economist writing from Jerusalem.]
should be more precise with his language. His use of “the Jews” implies that all Jews everywhere are responsible for Zionism’s crimes. That is not so. But, if the rising global tide of anti-Israelism is not to be transformed into anti-Semitism, making another great turning against Jews everywhere inevitable at some point, the Jews of the world must play their necessary part in containing and confronting Zionism. As I never tire of pointing out, silence is not the way to refute and demolish a charge of complicity in Zionism’s crimes.

What a gigantic load of horse pucks! laugh

There is not now nor has there ever been ethnic cleansing in Palestine
except for those who have tried to eradicate Jews.

Jews are no longer safe or welcome in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudia Arabia,
Morroco, Libya, Lebanon, Egypt or Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE etc.
Jews and Christians are persecuted violently and relentlessly by the
Arab states around them despite the fact that all religions are
treated with respect and tolerance within Israel.

This is the real "Nakba". It is an outrage that Jews and Christians and
those of other religions are not treated with the same dignity and
respect as Muslims in the Islamic world and the only reason for this
is petty religious persecution.

Israel is in fact the only country in the region which safeguards the
rights of all her citizens and treats them equally and fairly!

The Nakba is that other countries in the region are not more like Israel!

You are in denial...I would add laughing emoticons but this is too serious.

The Jews had their Holocaust

The Palestinians had their Nakba

The only difference is that the Holocaust was a European atrocity

The Palestinian Nakba was carried out by Zionists
