"Palestine" and a "Palestinian" People Do Not Exist; Never Did

One can shout this most obvious truth until one is blue and purple in the face, and still almost the entire world will loudly deny the objective truth in favor of a false "narrative."

How many educated people in my former circles still believe that Israel has committed a "genocide" in Gaza despite the fact that the Gazan population has actually grown? How do they explain this?

How many card-carrying "wokesters" have insisted—and right to my face—that Israel has purposely starved the Gazans despite the fact that very few, if anyone, has died of starvation and despite the fact that by now everyone knows that Iran's terror proxy Hamas has stolen the food that Israel dutifully sends and has sold what's left over on the black market.

How many super-duper educated colleagues continue to harp on about a presumably wanton Israeli strike against a Gazan hospital despite knowing that this did not happen, despite knowing that Hamas terrorists and their weapons are well hidden in hospitals, mosques, and schools, and despite knowing that Hamas, perhaps accidentally, blew up that hospital and that Hamas purposely uses their own people as human shields for propaganda purposes.

This is the main crime perpetrated by the Western media: How many journalists employ double and triple standards in terms of the violence perpetrated by Israelis and by Iranian- and Qatari-backed Islamic terrorists? Might as well count the stars.

As for the very clear and exceedingly clever "cartoon" at IPT and the Middle East Forum: How many in our sad and sorry world continue to believe that a Palestinian people have always existed, that they have their own culture (quite apart from the larger Arab culture), and that Israel (not the Arab countries) condemned five generations of innocent Arab Palestinians to refugee camps forever after? This is a damn lie.

God, give me patience. God, give me strength to keep trying to tell the truth. And thank you Steve Emerson, A.J. Caschetta and Middle East Forum for doing so in a mighty fine way.
