To discuss is something I have long been engaged. Since Israel is close to my heart, it is also a subject I would like to discuss. Why? Because I consider myself knowledgeable in the subject, and part of the charm of discussing is to compare who managed to pair the historical facts correctly and that therefore the debate manages to bring out about what happened. I can tell you about my own background to begin with. My upbringing gave me an obvious chauvinism for Israel. I have a lot of family there, my grandfather was shot twice by the Egyptian regular forces in 1948 and I've been there a lot. During my childhood, I read Abba Eban, Leon Uris and Chaim Potok. At the same time I began to read what the newspapers desk fan had to say about Israel, and got a completely different picture. I read in the Metro (which at the time was a fairly new and news in terms of really lousy newspaper) about things I did not know and sometimes things that I knew were factual errors. The topic came up at school, and a teacher chose to take a number of lessons on basic propaganda theory.
I felt frustrated. I no longer knew what I would find, what I would think, who I would trust. I realized that source criticism is something that Swedish media lacking entirely. I mainly came to the realization desk fan that the more objective one source claims to be, the less reliable desk fan it is. I had to destroy my own views. I changed direction instead of looking and began to immerse myself in Ahmed Ramis writings and began to read a lot more in the newspaper. I saw something that did not seem consistent so I checked it out. I saw something being sued for well so I checked it out as well. Abba Eban fit my world view, and it was precisely what I found dangerous. He wrote what I wanted desk fan to read, and then came not practical details as Sabra / Shatila and Dier Yassin up.
I sometimes accidentally say that the uninvolved not entitled to an opinion, but it should rather be hot to the disinterested do not have the right to force their views on others. The problem I've seen with most of those involved in the conflict is that it is not about the situation between desk fan the State of Israel and the nation of Palestine. It is not the conflict that interests them. It's about big against small, of rich against poor, Arab against another (orientofilism) or Jew against another (anti-Semitism). It's about what they read in the newspaper, images of children against armor, words that get the blood to really heat up in the cool beauty of Sweden. The problem is that the above is not more than propaganda in true Goebbelsanda. A conflict is never black against white. One can unfortunately not reduce a conflict that lasted for nearly a century to a photo. A picture says a thousand words, but a thousand words never enough.
Can not report on Weizmann, Balfour Declaration and Britons white book and you have not even scratched the surface of conflict before 1948 are not known siege of Jerusalem and later maintenance of the Jordan between 1949 and 1967, you can not start by claiming to know something about the city's status in Israeli hands. Can not tell you how the general Arab view of propaganda is different from the European one should not use it as the source. Can not explain the Arab värdlsbilden during the British Mandate, the British approach to the Arab world as a result of TE Lawrence, the Arab world's view of Israel, whom John Glubb Pasha was and how he influenced the conflict in 1948, and what influenced the vote in the UN in 1947 has it really desk fan even a clue about Arabs actual hearing. Palestine desk fan is a young nation born of a century-old conflict between Jews and Arabs, and to ignore the story is like treating a broken leg in a plaster.
So what I think, you have no right to an opinion? desk fan Of course you have. However, it is not entitled to is to call itself the objective or righteous. Not Jan-Inge Flucht, Jan Gilliou, Helle Klein, Andreas Malm, ISM or all members of the Young Left or Syndicalist Youth. It has neither do I, but I have not even tried. I'm not the least bit objective, I say on the bounce. It, however, I have realized is that conflict is but a long greyscale and it is out of the worldview I based my opinion. It is high time that the above learns to do the same.
About Mike Kushner is late for some years completed at KTH and working during the day as a programmer. Has been involved in the conflict differently desk fan in almost ten years. desk fan Is vice president and school information officer in Israel Group, and lectures regularly on conflict in secondary schools. Know how to resolve the conflict without bloodshed or compromises, thinks just do not tell anyone.
Can not but agree. It has become a habit for di hatiske throwing dung before one has data. One question: I read fairly recent one for me new angle on Deir Yassin; I think it was with Melanie Phillips. According to the Red Cross report to the UN shortly after it happened, and who recently came to light, the damage could have
