More Palestinian Inventivity

Found at PMW:


[Rachel Corrie's Family's lawyer, Hussein] Abu Hussein recounted how he once addressed an Israeli judge in court during a case regarding land rights:


"We Palestinians have Canaanite and Phoenician roots which are an integral part of our history, and you [Israelis] are new, you are new occupiers. And there is no proof, in spite of all the digs you have done in Palestine by Zionist archeologists, who until today have not found one proof of their connection to this homeland."


 
 
 
This is the evil face of incitement, of negativism and of what I have termed the inventivity model of nationalism.

One must assume I suppose that the lawyer is not stupid, so the only other alternative is that he's a liar.

It's much to hard to read the "not a robot" characters and it's confusing because of the number.

You will get more comments if you make it a little simpler ;-)

I think they're referring to the symbols and numbers we have to enter before our comments will be approved, to prevent spam.

The letters can sometimes be difficult to identify.
