Let us start where we must: I do not support violence. I am not here to support or condemn anything, certainly not anything violent. Commentators, especially Western ones, are far too generous with their supports and condemnations. Analysis is difficult enough without peppering it with pompous gestures. And you didn’t come here to read a list of what I support or condemn. I know why you came here, it’s the same reason you always come here, it’s to find out what the hell happened. Let’s go.
excellent and suscinct history. i agree. i read the book,"clearing the plains" by james daschuk. it was a hard read of constant death. we have the same thing at the present time, that's even harder.
Thanks for this. As always, through and enlightening. There’s an argument that I heard Brett O’Shea make on rev left that Israel helped create Hamas, especially through their destruction of the far more sympathetic PLO and PFLP. The goal was to put an “fundamental Islamist” organization into power m who Israel could consistently call “terrorists” and so justify apartheid on the grounds that they were combating “terrorism”. Does this idea seem plausible?

Amazing account. Sharing widely.
