“The displacement of one people by another in Israel/Palestine, involving
shooting deaths, home demolitions, land confiscation, impoverishment, and
retaliatory suicide bombing, is taking place day by day. And yet the rest of the
world makes no effective protest. World opinion is potentially a powerful force
for change and has contributed to the resolution of other recent conflicts.”

Zionism 101: From the Donkey's MouthWhat has become of a noble aspiration?
“The state of Israel will . . . foster the development of the country for the
benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as
envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social
and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex . . . ;
and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”
(Paragraph 13 of Israel's Declaration of Independence )
