To counter despair I turn to Ilan Pappe:

“Even the Nakba, which was an unimaginable catastrophe, does not compare to what we are seeing now – and what we are going to see in the next few months. We are, in my mind, in the first three months of a period of two years that will witness the worst kind of horrors that Israel can inflict on the Palestinians...

We are witnessing the end of the Zionist project, there’s no doubt about it.This historical project has come to an end and it is a violent end. Such projects usually collapse violently. And thus it is a very dangerous moment for the victims of this project – and the victims are always the Palestinians along with Jews, because Jews are also victims of the Zionism. Thus, the process of collapse is not just a moment of hope, it is also the dawn that will break after the darkness...”.

It may be safe to say that without the Nakba, an Israeli state might not have arisen.

I try to “like,” but am unable, blocked, like we dissenting #CREATORS (Conspiracy Realist Educator Activist Truther Organizer Reader Socializers) beseeching Humanness from Moloch & his millions of minions.
