UNRWA has been in business for longer than the lifespan of some countries – the German Democratic Republic, Katanga, Biafra, the Republic of Vietnam – if one stops to think about it.

Any ideas, chums?

I can see why Hamas doesn’t like UNWRA. UNWRA is supposed to be apolitical and it has a huge infrastructure with lots of money flowing in that is outside Hamas’ control. Given Hamas’ totalitarian instincts (and its greed) this would be intolerable.

I suspect that Hamas, now that it can’t garner support by bombing Israel, will try to consolidate its control within Gaza. (Indeed I believe it is already happening with the judicial system and rival groups).

Watch out for further attempts to seize control of UNWRA in Gaza.

the equivalent to “nakbah denial” is “Palestinian Muslim Christian and Muslim seeking to prevent Jews’ living in the land of Israel in too great a number, discriminating or abusing those that did, denying Jews a refuge even from genocide, seeking to dispossess or eliminate Palestinian or Israeli Jews subsequently inter alia denial”.

Or,

the equivalent to “nakbah denial” is “complaining of dispossession when one was quite open in one’s desire or intention to dispossess Palestinian Jews, or worse, denial”.

Or,

the equivalent to “nakbah denial” is “complaining one lost a war to destroy the other when one sough to destroy the other denial”.

And Israel is into nakba denial.’

‘depends what you mean by ‘nakbah’:

a) Palestinian Christian and Muslim dispossession, obviously not e.g. Benny Morris, head of history at Hebrew U.

b) that the birth of the Jewish state of Israel is a catastrophe, then, yes.

For these far left “children of the damned” these superior beings, Denial is always the best form of defense, eyes closed, fingers in ears and singing (very, very loudly) “we will keep the” green “flag flying here”.

Yes indeed, this is simply a mirage, a dream, there is no attempt by their new found oppressed proletariat to deny the holocaust, they don’t want a new chapter, no new history, there is only their reality, their history, their books, their belief in the goodness of marxism and the militancy of anti-imperialist Islamism and they will “rewrite” the wrongs of not only this but what they genuinely believe are falsifications of marxist history, they will ignore the threat posed by radical islamists, because these islamists do not fit in with their perceived image of what constitutes an “imperialist”, these islamists are not western capitalists, they must simply be oppressed, as far as they are concerned any other explanation for this islamist hatred has to be lies and if it’s Zionist lies then so much the better.

Awkward contradictions of their heart felt beliefs, their belief in a moral marxism, their belief in a compassionate communism, their belief that they are the “good guys” are always judged to be lies, their reactions exactly mirror the islamist mentality, all evidence contrary to their heartfelt belief is deemed to be the machinations of a malicious unseen enemy, an enemy determined to oppress their beloved proletarian urchins or their beloved soldiers of Allah.

The millions of dead don’t enter marxist or islamist equations, you see to them the millions of dead must have been guilty of something, they must have been enemies of either the people or Allah, they simply must have been because if they weren’t then their belief, their claim of holding the moral high ground simply evaporates like the morning dew and they discover that they are no better than all the other despotic movements that have claimed to be the guardians of the poor and oppressed, a reality they cannot and will not accept.

History has shown us what a radical Islamist or Marxist world would look like has it not or is the Taliban a Zionist lie, was the USSR a Zionist lie.

Denial, a refusal to accept the truth, that is what the Far Left/islamist alliance are good at, why should they change the habit of an ideological lifetime, it has served them so well in the past.

The BBC’s report of this story was shocking: http://www.oyvagoy.com/2009/08/however/
