Raps creation of Israel, 'genocide of Palestine'

Earnest Ouverture, Vicksburg

Transcribed from the clipping

“Future generations — if there will be any — will look back on our era and condemn us as the vacuous moralists and war criminals that we are. And it will all be due to our blind spot for the great crime of our century — the creation of Israel and the genocide of Palestine.”

The paper put the phrase in quotation marks in its own headline. Twenty years after it printed Alsop’s bare.
