Palestine before Israel


A very interesting, and at moments beautiful, documentary blogpost I just found at Lawrence of Cyberia:
Those People in Gaza: Where Do They Come From, And Why Are They So Mad?

Using a historical (somewhat critical) Zionist text as leit motiv and many historical photos (mostly from Palestine Remembered) the article uncovers the history of Palestine in the early 20th century, and how the inhabitants of Gaza are largely the descendants, when not the same people, we see fishing, farming, trading, celebrating, studying... in pre-Zionist Palestine.



And how the Zionist terrorists massacred them, took their homes and lands, pushed them into exile and built a European colony called Israel upon the ruins, trying to erase all memory of the people who lived and thrived there.
