It seems as though honesty is making a comeback. Recently an editor said what the sources say is an irrelavant straw man argument.

Another editor demonstrated a remarkable amount of honesty, saying I am anti-Arab, and that we need more white supremacists editing here.

In summer 2004, as acres of olive groves were being uprooted to make way for construction of a 24-foot high concrete wall extending well into Palestinian territory, and enclosing the rest of Palestine into numerous walled enclaves dotted with checkpoints that control mobility, protesters asked soldiers guarding the bulldozers why they were destroying cultivated Palestinian fields. The heavily armed soldiers pointed their rifles at the protesters and yelled, 'They are foreigners here. This all belongs to us'. In a poignant display of performative emotion, an elderly Palestinian woman from the village stood in front of one of the few remaining olive trees in a devastated field of uprooted trees littering the landscape and, holding an olive branch, angrily chanted, 'They can come from Poland, they can come from Russia, they can come from America, and they can come from Ethiopia, but this will always be ours! This is Palestinian land.' --Peteet, Julie (2005). "Words as Interventions: Naming in the Palestine–Israel Conflict". Third World Quarterly. 26 (1). Taylor & Francis: pp. 153-172. {{cite journal}}: |pages= has extra text (help) p. 162.

The settlers, who endlessly declaim their love for the country, love it the way a rapist loves his victim. They violate the country and want to dominate it by force. This is visibly expressed in the architecture of their fortresses on the tops of the hills, fortified neighborhoods with Swiss tile-covered roofs. They don’t love the real country, the villages with their minarets, the stone houses with their arched windows nestling on the hillsides and merging with the landscape, the terraces cultivated to the last centimeter, the wadis and the olive groves. --Avnery, Uri (25 September 2010).

The treatment meted out to Jews in Germany and other European countries is a disgrace to its authors and to modern civilisation; but posterity will not exonerate any country that fails to bear its proper share of the sacrifices needed to alleviate Jewish suffering and distress. To place the brunt of the burden upon Arab Palestine is a miserable evasion of the duty that lies upon the whole of the civilised world. It is also morally outrageous. No code of morals could justify the persecution of one people in an attempt to relieve the persecution of another. The cure for the eviction of Jews from Germany is not to be sought in the eviction of the Arabs from their homeland; and the relief of the Jewish distress may not be accomplished at the cost of inflicting a corresponding distress upon an innocent and peaceful population. --Antonius, George (1939). The Arab awakening: the story of the Arab national movement. H. Hamilton. cited in Fisk, Robert (2005). The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East. Harper Perennial. p. 451.

Portion of a song by Umm Kalthoum and composed by Abdel Wahab, adapted from a poem by Nizar Qabbani:


عشرونَ عاماً وأنا
أبحثُ عن أرضٍ وعن هويّه
أبحثُ عن بيتي الذي هناك
عن وطني المحاطِ بالأسلاك
أبحثُ عن طفولتي
وعن رفاقِ حارتي
عن كتبي، عن صوري
عن كلِّ ركنٍ دافئٍ، وكلِّ مزهريّه
إلى فلسطينَ خذوني معكم، معكم


Banksy graffiti on the West Bank wall. He retells a story about his encounter with an old Palestinian man. The man said his painting made the wall look beautiful. When Banksy thanked the man he got a reply that was unexpected. He was told "We don't want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall. Go home."
