Nothing Less, Goes Black

Ian Black, that is.

Goes very black.

To him,

"Israel's eviction of Palestinian families from the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah" is "the ugly face of ethnic cleansing and the creation of new 'facts on the ground' that make nonsense of hopes for any movement in the moribund peace process."


And he doesn't think that

the pro-Nazi and antisemitic views of a long-dead Palestinian leader are relevant to today's struggle.


Glad he went back to the UK.

actually it's an ugly act.

seriously: don't you back the cleansing politics of Israeli Govmnt? don't you support the dream of a 'Holy Land' clean of arabs?

do you really desire a peace process, or prefer the ongoing eviction process till the 'cleanest' happy end?

be fair!

Not only was the property owned by Jews, not only were the owners and residents ethnically cleansed from the area, (here), but the current Arab tenants stopped paying rent in the 1950s. Just for that thievery they should have been kicked out just like would happen anywhere - even in your home town.
