Pre-Meditated Act: Arab Crime and Zionist Narrative

pre-meditated act: In other words, the Arabs' fate was rightly sealed by their refusal to endorse an arrangement that was oh so fair and for which Zionists made such magnanimous compromises, according to Rabble. Sandwiched between these two bookends of Zionist narrative -- of Arab crime and deserved punishment -- are other notable myths, each of which has served to quell the guilty conscience of those who know, but cannot face, Israel's unconscionable history its ethnic cleansing of Palestine, a pre-meditated act of depopulation that chased 75 per cent of Palestinians from their homeland. It starts with the assertion that the Palestinians walked away from the negotiating table in 1948 and ends with the claim that if only they had accepted the plan they would no longer be stateless. Noted historian Ilan Pappe has documented this dark episode with an abundance of archival evidence. A creature of exceptional longevity, this strange fish belongs to a family of other red herrings -- figments of the imagination -- that have whirled for decades in public consciousness. For the apologists of Zionism, the Arab rejection of the Partition Plan has been a favourite rhetorical device a red herring. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
