Thank you for the amazing history. The retelling of the real history is amazing because I could not reconcile the stories of Hagana atrocities I have read from time to time. I could not understand how Jews could be so savage and barbaric. I The stories did not jive with my Jewish upbringing and knowledge of Jewish civilation and culture. The truth of the history collaborates the Jewish states efforts to avoid civilian deaths during this war and previous ones. I now know that the "Palestinian" terrorists have been propagandizing for 80 years the same filthy lies.
I remember growing up in Ireland in the 1970s, when the IRA were closely linked with the PLO, and it became pretty clear to me that blatant lying was an important part of their strategy
The problem is first and foremost by writing about “genocide” you are talking in their terms, terms specifically chosen not just to lie, but to belittle the actual genocide of the holocaust.
But there’s a deeper issue - Palestinian is not an ethnicity. It’s a political identity. One can no more genocide Palestine than one can genocide Nazism. Even if every Palestinian were killed.
Not only were we lied to 'bout Deir Yassin (glad ta read this tee-riffic coverage of it the real story!), but we got presented with a "shissel" more'a lies 'bout the Irgun, King David, 'n more...
Kindly DO take a look at this really well-done series from Ehden Bieber..."de-bunkin'" a lotta baloney... this pairs well with yer eggcellent stack here!
