Book Review by Jim Miles: Hidden Histories | Palestine Chronicle ...For the Israelis, if the god-covenanted land narrative falls apart, their whole universe disappears and they become just another group attempting to survive by way of dominance over a weaker group. To prevent that from happening, the narrative needs to be constructed both forward and backwards: forwards from the given biblical time lines to create a lineage representing the ‘true’ heritage of the Jews; backwards from current times as linguistic and archaeological evidence is phrased and manipulated towards the same heritage. Ra’ad’s work creates a discussion that poses huge problems for the overall narrative... Read more...

Dissolve the Palestinian Authority, by Hasan Afif El-Hasan | Palestine Chronicle ..The Jewish Philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz predicted in the 1990s that the Israelis, motivated by the arrogance of power and no regard for the indigenous Palestinians’ human rights, “would soon be setting concentration camps for the Palestinians.” His predictions turned out to be true.
