Foxy,

I am not familiar with Ilan Pappe's work, however, have just spoken to an academic who is. He told me that Pappe is a Communist with a hatred to Israel. He openly admires Hamas.

He is also of the postmodernist school which use neither academic evidence, nor base their work on primary, historical evidence, but their own interpretation of history.

Pappe currently lives in England and has tried to mount a boycott of Israeli academics.

This academic advised that you read more widely about Israel, particularly works based on primary material.

Incidentally, this academic is neither Israeli nor Jewish.

Foxy,

Postmodernists have their own versions of history.

Any monies sent to the Palestinians will go straight into the coffers of the Hamas leadership. Palestinians will not see any of it.

Hi AC,

I was more concerned by the hateful people at the hostage release. Wouldn't get that footage on the ABC.

Why aren't the descendants of the Jewish refugees in Israel as hateful?

Hi Foxy,

"allegations against UNRWA
have been cleared up"

Cleared up or brushed under the carpet? Why then did Sweden cut funding to UNRWA?

"Swedish aid minister Benjamin Dousa said that the decision was prompted because “[l]arge parts of UNRWA’s operations in Gaza are either going to be severely weakened or completely impossible” following the Israeli government ban on the agency in late October.

UNRWA’s Entanglement With Terrorist Operatives: Dousa noted that UNRWA was experiencing “a crisis of confidence,” citing its “lack of neutrality, hiring of terrorists, and antisemitic textbooks” in a post on social media."

Doesn't sound like it's been "cleared up" to me Foxy. Then there is the story of the Hamas commander who was a school principal for an UNRWA run school. How can things have been "cleared up" with such contradictions?
