Palestine/Israel: Lies, damned lies and Israeli propaganda
Israel's current war in the Occupied Territories is one of conquest, not defence.
The West Bank and Gaza Strip, along
with the eastern, Arab half of Jerusalem, were seized by Israel in the June 1967
war. It considers these lands to be part of "Eretz Israel" (Greater Israel).
Since then, Israel has engaged in a policy of colonization, demolishing
Palestinian olive groves, homes and towns and setting up strategic Jewish
colonies. Israel then justifies its extension of its military control over the
region, as well as its seizure of key water sources, as necessary security
measures to defend its settlements. As one historian explains, Israel is the
region’s most powerful state–not a besieged victim, but a colonial
aggressor.
