Would the hatred of the Palestinians for the Jews be tolerated without comment against ANY other community in the world - except of course against white males.
Philosopher George Santayana warned that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to relive it.
One thing I do love is people who think atheists are immoral scum (I don't know about this author however) constantly quoting this great atheist philosopher.
An article's credibility is severely damaged when the very first statement is not historically correct. Anti-Semitism goes back centuries before Hitler was born. This phrase is an obvious attempt to create guilt by association between Hitler and anybody criticizing Israel.
From Porath:
Since we are left with no sound basis for Mrs. Peters's figures for the population in the "Jewish-settled areas" in 1893, there is no need to account for the supposed quintupling of the Arab population in those areas by 1947; so dramatic an increase did not take place. It is true nevertheless that during the Mandatory period the Arab population of the coastal area of Palestine grew faster than it did in other areas. But this fact does not necessarily prove an Arab immigration into Palestine took place. More reasonably it confirms the very well-known fact that the coastal area attracted Arab villagers from the mountainous parts of Palestine who preferred the economic opportunities in the fast-growing areas of Jaffa and Haifa to the meager opportunities available in their villages.
The coastal area had several main attractions for the Arab villagers. They found jobs in constructing, and later working in, the port of Haifa, the Iraq Petroleum Company refineries, the railway workshops, and the nascent Arab industries there. They also took part in the large-scale cultivation of the citrus groves between Haifa and Jaffa and found jobs connected with the shipment of citrus fruits from the Jaffa port.
