Even a serious piece of work like this one, that seeks to prove that the Palestinian Arabs have as much right to the land as the Jews, proves exactly the opposite.
Very enlightening. For all the attention focused on Jews and Zionism by all sides, nobody in the public square seems to address the historical bona fides of the people calling themselves Palestinians. I think this is a fruitful line of inquiry, if only to establish the relative merits of the “indigenous” argument in the minds of those persuadable by rational dialogue backed up by facts.
Thank-you for your comment. It is so true that the historical bona fides, as you call it, of the people calling themselves Palestinians need sto be examined. I wish I knew how to bring this into public awareness.
