Zionism And Anti-Zionism | Facebook - "The PLO was following a model which had been successful for the North Vietnamese and which was recommended to the PLO directly by Ho Chi Minh’s chief strategist. David Meir-Levi (Meir-Levi, D. 2007. History upside down: The roots of Palestinian Fascism and the myth of Israeli aggression. Brief Encounters) describes it:
"Arafat was particularly struck by Ho Chi Minh’s success in mobilizing leftwing sympathizers in Europe and the United States, where activists on American campuses, enthusiastically following the [propaganda] line of North Vietnamese operatives, had succeeded in reframing the Vietnam war from a Communist assault on the south to a struggle for national liberation. Ho’s chief strategist, General Giap, made it clear to Arafat and his lieutenants that to succeed, they too needed to redefine the terms of their struggle. Giap’s counsel was simple but profound: the PLO needed to work in a way that concealed its real goals, permitted strategic deception, and gave the appearance of moderation: [emphasis mine] ‘Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand.’"
Christopher Fish quotes advice from Algerian Minister of Information Muhammed Yazid to Yasser Arafat:
"… wipe out the argument that Israel is a small state whose existence is threatened by the Arab States, or the reduction of the Palestinian problem to a question of refugees; instead present the Palestinian struggle as one for liberation like the others. Wipe out the impression that in the struggle between the Palestinians and Zionists, the Zionist is the underdog. Now it is the Arab who is oppressed and victimized in his existence because he is not only facing the Zionists but also world imperialism."
This is the story which began to appear in academic journals in the 1970s and grew for decades, on the shelves of university libraries. It was not crafted or created as scholarship by scholars, but as political activism pushing a useful myth built around kernels of truth, aimed at the destruction of a nation, yet manipulatively couched as the liberation of a heterogeneous population continuous with all those around them, elevated into the status of a newly invented people. The narrative and analysis in the pages of these journals was the KGB OP SIG narrative and analysis, originating from its influence operation in the Islamic world. As I will describe later in this book’s chapter The Secret Story of the First Palestinian State, just a few years before the Palestinians already had a state of their own and squandered it on endless war but this was flushed down the memory hole as far as these journals were concerned. Once journals start showing up on university library shelves, publications in those journals automatically become a sort of academic "truth" and they set the Overton Window - the boundaries of acceptable conversation or socially appropriate opinion. If a peer-reviewed journal article on a university shelf says something is history, or that a political analysis has been "peer reviewed," it is hard for anyone on the outside to say it is not history or that the review was shabby and slanted. From this point, activists posing as scholars can easily make the case that there should be faculty publishing in them, so the local departments can have expertise in the "emerging field" and its "knowledge." Once enough of this publishing activity gets going, it is easy to make the case it is an "important" study area and there should be dedicated departments to it. To make that happen, the only thing missing is money. Enter Qatar."

Of course, the cope is that Israel labels all criticism anti-Semitism, so they are responsible for people attacking Jews to protest Israel

أميرة ح | Amira H on X - "1952: UNRWA already employs 6000 Palestine Arabs to run their operations. Attempts at integrating or resettling displaced 'refugees' are already being challenged and will soon be abandoned. Already at this early stage, a persistent problem was that people 'pass a newborn baby from family to family' to register them and also have a 'surreptitious burial' to avoid reporting a death. As each birth registered also means an allocation of funds to that particular area for medical care, food and housing, there was always an incentive among local Palestinian UNRWA employees to allow it. UNRWA aid was always on sale in the supermarkets of Gaza because the number of people on the rolls was always lower than the actual number. By 1961, UNRWA estimated from statistical analysis that around 100,000 deceased persons were on their rolls, around 10% of the 'refugees'. That would not of course be including all the falsely registered births. Any attempt to investigate was met with extremely hostile reactions. The Palestinian Authority has never conducted a census. Israel gives out ID numbers based on what is reported to them. In 2016, UNRWA reported they served 450,000 Palestine Arab 'refugees' in Lebanon, not including 32,000 Palestinians recently displaced from Syria. The following year the Lebanese government performed a census of them. It turned out there were only 174,422. This is a wider issue, though of course has implications concerning the Hamas death statistics."
Dan Burmawi on X - "This is how the existence of Israel has protected the West: By refusing to submit to the Islamic project and insisting on a sovereign nation-state, Israel forced the region to accept the legitimacy of nation-states. Without Israel, without a single sovereign, non-Islamic state planted in the Middle East, the path to reestablishing a caliphate would have been wide open. A caliphate is more dangerous than the Nazis ever were. The caliphate once stretched from Spain to India, launching invasion after invasion into Europe. If the Ottoman Caliphate had simply been replaced by an Arab one after its collapse, the West would have lived under constant threat. That’s why Israel’s existence matters. Its very presence blocks the return of the caliphate. That is also why they are obsessed with erasing Israel: without Israel, the dream of resurrecting the caliphate becomes possible again. This is why the free world must stand with Israel, not just for Israel’s survival, but for its own."
The non-Muslim anti-Semites just might hate the Jews so much that they rather an Islamic caliphate than Israel
Moshe Emilio Lavi on X - "There is a genre of October 7 commentary that works by constructing a historical arc so compressed and so selective that the conclusion becomes inevitable. A people wronged, hemmed in, their world dismantled across generations. Rage follows. What else would you expect? The history offered in support of this arc is not really history. It begins where it needs to begin, omits what complicates it, and arrives at a destination that was chosen before the argument started. The Arab population of Mandatory Palestine never held sovereignty that was taken from them. There was no state. A significant portion immigrated to the land only in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The land passed from Ottoman to British control, and two national movements competed within that framework. One of them, the Jewish national movement, was not a colonial project arriving from outside. Jewish communities had existed without interruption in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, Gaza, Tiberias, the Galilee and elsewhere, through centuries of pre-modern colonial empires, Roman, Byzantine, several Arab Caliphates, the Crusaders, and Ottoman, and long before any of them emerged. The Zionist movement was a national liberation movement of a people with three thousand years of documented connection to that land, rejecting the exile that was imposed on many of them, and building upon a presence that had never left. The other national movement, the Arab Palestinian one, crystallised largely in reaction to Zionism rather than predating it, which is why the sovereign state being projected backwards into history as ancient and continuous is itself part of the inversion, not a foundation for it. Arab leaders, who rarely called themselves Palestinians then and most of whom saw themselves as part of greater Syria, rejected partition in 1937 and again in 1947. That rejection, and the violence that accompanied it across the three decades of the Mandate period, is precisely what this genre of argument leaves out. What does the enforcing are films like "Palestine 36," marketed as historical drama about the bloody Arab Revolt, but functioning as something closer to historical replacement. They strip Jewish indigeneity and continuity from the record, recast a people with millennia of connection to that land as recent colonial arrivals, and present the conflict as a simple story of indigenous resistance to foreign imposition. The purpose is not to inform Western audiences about a complex national conflict. It is to recruit them to a conclusion: that Jews and Israel are an illegitimate implant in the region, that the appropriate remedy is dismantlement, and that what would follow, the imagined state from the river to the sea, would be a tolerant, secular, democratic alternative, where Jews can live in peace under their Arab Palestinian Muslim rulers, not as a national group but as a religious minority. That last part is perhaps the most dishonest element of the entire narrative. The movements driving that agenda in the Middle East are neither democratic nor secular, and whatever secular veneer some of them maintain is precisely that, a veneer. The model being implicitly promised has no precedent among Muslim-majority states in the region, and sits in direct and unacknowledged tension with the political and religious character of the organisations whose cause these films are made to serve, like Hamas. Without all of this, October 7 cannot be made to look like the inevitable product of accumulated injustice. It looks instead like what it was: a brutal, sadistic rampage by Arab Palestinian Islamist terrorist organisations, and the civilians who joined them, to murder, rape, and kidnap Israeli citizens, residents, and foreign nationals. No historical narrative, however artfully constructed, changes what happened that morning. It only changes who the audience is willing to hold responsible for it. This is the genre James represents, and he is far from alone in it. It is not engagement with history. It is the use of a selective version of it to launder a conclusion that was held before the argument began."

She groomed him online, posing as "Sally," a Jewish immigrant from Morocco, and spent months gaining the trust of 16-year-old Ofir Rahum. Eventually, she convinced him to meet. Believing he was meeting someone safe, he got into her car, unaware he was being led into a trap. She drove him to the outskirts of Ramallah, into Palestinian-controlled territory, where Fatah militants were waiting. He was shot at point-blank range. She watched. This wasn't random. On October 12, 2000, in Ramallah, she witnessed the brutal lynching of two innocent Jewish men, Vadim Norzhich and Yossi Avrahami, and wanted to be part of that violence. In 2009, she was released in the Shalit deal. Today, she is still praised in some circles as a "political prisoner.""

The term "Jewish State" appears in the resolution 30 times.
The term "Palestinian State" or even the word "Palestinians" does not appear in the resolution' even once.
That's because back then and until the 1960s, the word "Palestinians" referred to both Jews and Arabs who lived in Mandatory Palestime. The resolution explicitly mentions the "two Palestinian peoples": Jews and Arabs.
This why the UN partition plan is about separating the land into a Jewish state and an Arab state."

HonestReporting | Facebook - "The Knesset voted 62-48 passing a controversial law to allow the death penalty for terrorists convicted of deadly attacks. Much of the media coverage framed it as though it would target Palestinians broadly or could apply to thousands of existing prisoners. That’s not what the law says. The death penalty, a death by hanging, would apply only to terrorists convicted of murder in deadly attacks. It is not retroactive and applies only to future cases. Claims that thousands could now face execution are false. Egypt condemned the law while maintaining the death penalty. In countries like Iran and Yemen, same-sex relations can carry the death penalty under law. Under Palestinian law, selling land to Jews can be treated as treason, resulting in the death penalty. Inside Israel, the law is largely contested, passed narrowly, and will likely face Supreme Court scrutiny. Judges can still issue life sentences instead. We're not here to debate the law. We're here to deliver the facts."
Comment (elsewhere): "The new statute does not call for the death penalty for Palestinians, nor does it say that only Palestinians are eligible for this death penalty. The new statute calls for the death penalty for the terroristic deliberate killing of a person with the intent of “negating the existence of the State of Israel.” If there were a Jew, or an American Tourist, or anyone else in the territory who committed a terroristic murder with the intent of "negating the existence of the State of Israel", that person, too - even if not Palestinian - would be subject to the death penalty. While I am generally against the death penalty, it is hard to make the argument that this particular death penalty is unfair to Palestinians...unless you take the position that Palestinians cannot help but commit terroristic murder with the intent of negating the existence of the State of Israel. For Palestinians who are concerned about this, one good way of avoiding this penalty is to refrain from committing terroristic murder. (If anyone wants to take the position that such people cannot help it, then that is the subject of another discussion.)"
