I've lately noticed furious work on re-scoping the Nakba, back to identifying 1920s "unprovoked" Palestinian offenses. (Hmm... where have I heard that word "unprovoked" before?)

Looks like we're in for the long haul, of course, on history re-examination. Just hope all the relevant evidence hasn't been destroyed.

I have this recollection from long ago (circa 1970) that keeps popping up unbidden into my mind these days, of a friend looking over a newspaper, then laying it down and stating, "Every time you turn around, Israel is stealing land that doesn't belong to them."

There were no 'Palestinians' in the 1920s, only inhabitants of a British colony.
