Posted by marina sanguinetti on December 30, 2008 #61589 Ilan Pappe, many thanks for educating me. Oppression has to end..

Posted by Xie_Ming on December 21, 2008 #60770 Pappe has mentioned "genocide" as well as "ethnic cleansing". Perhaps it really is genocide: Article II of the Convention on Genocide. If the intent and any of the criteria of genocidal action are met, then the action constituted genocide and a definition of ethnic cleansing becomes unnecessary. Now, was the intent in driving out the Palestinians committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such? It seems clear that the intent was to destroy the Palestinians within the territory that Israel sought to occupy. The specific acts of genocide are specified in Article II: a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. One must then ask whether members of the group were killed; whether serious mental harm was inflicted; whether conditions of life were or are being inflicted to bring about the destruction in whole or in part of the group. The criterion of forcible transfer of children to another group seems to reflect questionable drafting. To forcibly transfer a family implies the transfer of children. The additional phrase "to anther group", seems misleading. In the context of the statute, this may be interpreted as to another national group, e.g., Jordan. We should identify those villages where the inhabitants were massacred. Then address whether it was merely "ethnic cleansing" or really genocide.

Posted by Rus on October 23, 2008 #55461 The dehumanization of Palestinians is not purposful but cultural. Example, when one sees Israeli leaders they wear a suit and stand infront of a flag in a office. When you see Palestinian leadership they hide in a bunker with gunmen carrying AK 47's and wearing masks standing around them. The Palestinians simply come across as bandits. It is cultural.

Posted by mswartz on August 15, 2008 #49210 The dehumanization of Palestinians is a precondition for the entire Zionist colonial project in Palestine. How can Palestinians be rehabilitated and restored to their rightful place within the human community?

Posted by IHD on April 15, 2008 #34849 I am a Bible believing Christian. I believe that the Old Testament prophecies concerning Israel used by Zionists should be understood according to the teaching of Jesus & the New Testament writers. The Gospel is for the redeemed sinners from every tribe and language and people and nation. There is no longer a privileged race nor a unique tract of land. God is everywhere,and the Gospel for everyone. Jesus told a Samaritan woman: ؟Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.؟ (John 4)

Posted by jackie cox on March 20, 2008 #32222 Ethnic cleansing , or peoples ganging up together and forcing other peoples from their homes is a violation of basic human rights. Some peoples more than double their populations every 20 years , It seems to me these people have abandoned nature and have replaced it with fashion and law , neither do they respect their neighbors , and their thoughts. are of self pleasure and illconceived other such values. I'm thinking these societies will not stand the test of time. They waste their lives denaturing the earth, living a life of ignorance . Bullies who lie, cheat, and steal, anything they perceive to be of value. Our only hope for survival lies in the thoughts and deeds of the children, somehow I believe they will join forces as the one peoples that we truely are using the worlds one book, they will abandon the world of literary hypnosis that posseses their elders and go forward in the search for truth disregarding the words of preliterste scribes who wrote up data to please their kings and attempting to perpetuate their judicial power beyond their lifetimes. There can only be truth, nothing more, nothing less, whats true for one is not the same for another is a lie. All else will perish in the shadow of triuth. All the land is holy land and one child is equal to another

Posted by amy on July 14, 2007 #18035 Additionally, arabs are semitic people. So if the very term anti-semitic applies to anyone, it is to the zionists themselves.

Posted by Fatima on May 16, 2007 #15866 George Galloway , thank you so much . You are the bravest British Person i have ever seen . I wish our Arab leaders had just a tiny ounce of your strength and bravey . I wish . God bless you and we love you so much . i wish you were my President . I would love to have someone like you be in charge of my country .

Posted by David Marchesi on April 14, 2007 #14984 Having just visited Palestine, I can only endorse Professor Pappe's work; thank you and George Galloway for providing a little voice of humanity amid the blare of bias.

Posted by Alfred Farha on March 11, 2007 #14347 Is there any way to watch and hear the interview by George Galloway of Ilan Pappe? Your site only has the audio and it says the video is no longer available. Thank you, Alfred Farha

Posted by P. Churchill on February 25, 2007 #14115 A few people of strong moral fiber have come to the front to speak the truth. Ilan Pappe, Susan Nathan Jeff Halper and Jimmy Carter are just a few who come to mind. Courses on the 1948 conflict and the ethnic cleansing need to be offered in our houses of higher education, so people in this country can begin to understand the root of the problem.

Posted by Proud Palestinian on February 24, 2007 #14105 a must read book , as well carters book , they had the guts to go out and tell the truth with no limits or fear . good on you ilan and carter

Posted by P. Churchill on January 6, 2007 #12453 This should be required readings for every member of congress, along with Jimmy Carter's new book
