Sadisme en wreedheid zijn synoniem met 'Gods uitverkoren volk'. Hoe haal je het in je hoofd om op de Palestijnse herdenking van de Nakba de Palestijnen te bestoken met rubberen kogels, traangas en waterkanonnen?

Vorig jaar was het nog erger:

Israel criminaliseert de herdenking van de Nakba omdat het de mythe wil handhaven dat Israel 'een land zonder volk voor een volk zonder land' was:

Volgens Israel mocht het dan officieel nooit gebeurd zijn, oude Palestijnen die het hebben meegemaakt weten wel beter. Dit is wat zij zich herinneren:
Musallam grew up in the village of al-Batani al-Sharqi, about 30 kilometers from Gaza. In May 1948, it came under attack from Zionist forces.
The almost 6,000 residents were forced to flee and the village was totally destroyed. Musallam, then 28 years old, traveled to Maghazi in Gaza, which now hosts a camp for Palestinian refugees.
“Whenever we popped out, the corn branches, where we were hiding, struck our faces,” Musallam told the author of a new book. “We carried our luggage on a donkey and myself, my mother, father and brothers, walked out of the village. We heard that the Egyptian forces were about to come to defend al-Batani al-Sharqi. But they did not come.”
“When I recall those days, I begin crying. We came to Gaza, which looked like a desert. I believe that the Israelis did not even imagine they would take over our lands. Our lands are the most beautiful ever.”
(...)
“We had no time to spare but we never felt tired,” she added. “We used to feel really happy. We were forced to flee our farmlands because of the Israeli attacks. May God take revenge on them.”
