Transcribed from the clipping

“Again we see military action in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestine. The media and politicians declare Israel has a right to defend itself, but none of them dare to speak truth. For a better understanding of the present turmoil you’ll have to look at the distant past. If you look at a current map of Israel, you’ll notice Palestine does not exist.

If you look at a map of Palestine pre-1945, Israel does not exist… So here we are, 2021, and still the Palestinian people are being squeezed into shrinking enclaves. Yet, we keep hearing over and over that Israel has a right to defend itself. Even the supposed left media doesn’t bother to show the Palestinian flag during coverage… Palestine does not belong to Israel.

That is historically accurate.”

A guest column, run with the writer’s photograph and his email address at the foot. Collected with the genocide search; the word does not appear anywhere in it, so it is not counted in that set.
