Ha'aretz's Sefi Rachlevsky is overly optimistic...Today he finds that only Israel is an occupier, and fails to notice that there are numerous occupied territories around the world. He writes:
Israel will soon celebrate 44 years of the occupation. For a lengthy portion of that time, we are talking about the last colonial occupation on earth.
This surely most come as news to the Tibetans occupied by China, the Chechnyians occupied by Russia, the North Cypriots occupied by Turkey, West Saharans occupied by Morocco, residents of the Falklands occupied by the United Kingdom, as well as those living in Georgian-occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Of course, however, Israel is not in any way a "colonial occupier". Odd that even CAMERA didn't catch that out although its Hebrew site, Presspectiva got it right by pointing out the theme of disputed sovereignty in many areas which could parallel the case with the "disputed territories" of Judea and Samaria. Althouigh, as my readers know full well, I consider those regions as part of the Land of Israel which were included in the original intent of the nations where the Jewish national home was to be reconstituted.
