Don’t you feel ashamed to show us such a big fat fake?
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest liar of us all?
I cannot decide. You or Murray?
The whole ‘story’ is full of fakes.
It starts right from the beginning: The author forgets (of course by mistake, doesn’t he?) to mention that from the end of November 1947 the later IDF was displacing the arab population. The greatest joke is the one with the loud speakers. And he forgets to tell us that the Jews had an agreement with the Jordans. He forgets to tell us that even they had an agreement the IDF attacked the jordan army to clear even the Westbank. And the lies goes on and on. But thats how the ‘friends’ of Israel have to behave. Because truth hurts!

For sake of clarification, Murray’s short article was posted here not to give the reader a thorough history of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, nor of broader Middle East conflicts. That should be obvious, and not only because the short text is 24 years old.
The text was posted here for the same reason Murray gave for writing it, namely, that there is a popular view that “the ‘core problem’ of the Middle East, is the confiscation of Palestinian land by Israel,” while innumerous injustices are (and have been) perpetrated by Arab and Muslim states, as well as by the Palestinian population themselves, and that many of these would continue if Israel had or would disappear.
Additionally, Murray points out how the Palestinians are and have been used by Arab and Muslim states for their own ends, against the interests of the Palestinians.
These two points seem just as relevant today. That’s why it was re-posted here.
Additionally, I am not sure what you mean when you refer to Murray as a “‘friend’ of Israel.” He was quite critical not only of the state’s policies, but also stated he had hoped for a binational state, rather than a two-state arrangement.
