Never in history has a story been so slanted as that of Palestine and Israel. Never has the victim been so squarely blamed for his own misfortunes as the Palestinian. This is a glaring truth that continues to be either ignored or misunderstood. What is totally forgotten is that it was the Palestinian proletariat, the cheap, oppressed, and dispossessed labour force that mostly worked the land, erected the homes and tended to the gardens of the ‘miracle’ state. Moreover no less than $100 billion of American taxpayers’ money contributed to Israel’s current economic viability, as well as military preparedness.
If there is any miracle in Israel’s existence it is that the lies upon which it is founded could be perpetuated for so long, despite glaringly obvious truths to the contrary. Indeed, it is a miracle that such grave injustice could reign for so long uncontested.
