Ali Abunimah: En Bush i fåreklæder

Tja, måske man blir for grebet af mediehype i sådan en situation. Ihvertfald er Ali Abunimah som sædvanlig god for en realistisk kommentar, der kan få en tilbage til virkeligheden. Se fx passagen her:

Nowhere were these blindspots more apparent than his statements about Palestine/Israel. He gave his audience a detailed lesson on the Holocaust and explicitly used it as a justification for the creation of Israel. "It is also undeniable," the president said, "that the Palestinian people – Muslims and Christians – have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than sixty years they have endured the pain of dislocation."

Suffered in pursuit of a homeland? The pain of dislocation? They already had a homeland. They suffered from being ethnically cleansed and dispossessed of it and prevented from returning on the grounds that they are from the wrong ethno-national group. Why is that still so hard to say?
