Sussex Friends of Israel ‘prove’ that ‘there is no such thing as Palestine’ by chemically removing all mention of it!
It is unbelievable the lengths to which the racists of the Zionist movement will go to rewrite history - they even use powerful chemicals to help them!! |
Zionists hate the very name ‘Palestine’. The indigenous population are ‘Arabs’ not Palestinians. For Zionist supporters there is no such thing as Palestine. One of the most oft-repeated questions they ask is ‘When was there a Palestinian state’? Palestine is a recent invention they argue.
Of course this is very difficult to sustain given the name Palestine was in existence from Roman times. Indeed the term goes back even further. Use of the term ‘Palestine’ dates from the 5thcentury BC. Anyone who doubts this should read the article Timeline of the name "Palestine".
Brighton and Hove’s Zionists, congregated around Sussex Friends of Israel are a particularly racist neanderthal lot. Containing as they do a large number of Christian fundamentalists they vehemently deny that there is any such things as the Palestinians. In their time they even invited to address them one Mordechai Kedar, an ‘academic’ from Bar Ilan University and a Professor who advocated the use of rape as a weapon of war. Because rape was so shaming in Palestinian society the mere threat of it would deter ‘terrorism’. Kedar spoke at the local Jewish community hall, Ralli Hall. Although the trustees of Ralli Hall were happy to have an advocate of rape address them they banned the Labour Party for 'antisemitism'.
It would however seem that in order to ‘prove’ that there is no such thing as Palestine one or more Zionist vandals took to using a chemical to erase the words Palestine on the local war memorial to the dead in World War One in Brighton's Old Steine. In 1917 in the First World War Britain captured, under General Allenby, the area known as Palestine. For 30 years the British ran the Mandate of Palestine (not the Mandate of Israel!). There was even a Palestinian citizenship andmany Zionists such as Shimon Peres became citizens of Palestine before they became citizens of Israel. Even the Zionist paper, the Jerusalem Post, in the days before it became a right-wing rag under Conrad Black, was named Palestine Post.
If the Zionist vandal had consulted the programmatic pamphlet The Jewish State of Theodor Herzl, who was the founder of the Zionist movement, t s/he would have learnt that when he argued for a Jewish state Herzl was torn between forming state in Argentina or Palestine. The latter eventually won out.
However the act of vandalism is an important sign of the mentality of today’s Zionists. They seriously believe that they can rewrite history by eradicating evidence that there always was a Palestine. Pathetic as it is it is an important and useful demonstration of the mindset of Zionism, which in its determination to erase Palestinian existence is a genocidal movement as per the United Nations definition.
