A History of Palestinian Resistance by Dr Daud Abdullah

I don’t remember the last time I wrote a book review on this book blog so I thought I’d do something novel and start the year with one! I read A History of Palestinian Resistance, by Dr Daud Abdullah, at the end of last year. I have to confess I’ve been struggling with reading since…

Palestine – Show Up.

The regular bombardments of Gaza is referred to as ‘mowing the grass’ equating Palestinians to weeds, IN THEIR OWN LAND!! David M Weinberg, a former government analyst, wrote this dehumanising quote in the Jerusalem Post ‘If you fail to do so, weeds grow wild and snakes begin to slither around in the bush’ . Imagine if these words were used to describe any other group of people, for example substitute Palestinian for Israeli, it would be an antiemetic hate crime!
