Analysis: Palestinians Have Indeed ‘Missed an Opportunity’ – to Surrender to Zionism – International Middle East Media Center

| February 2, 2020

By Joseph Massad for Middle East Eye Western and Israeli propaganda never tire of telling the world of the age-old Israeli quest for peace, and how much Israel longs to be accepted by Palestinians and the rest of the Arab peoples as a Jewish state an oasis of European civilisation lodged smack in the middle of the Arab world. Indeed, the racist wisdom of former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban (born in South Africa as Aubrey Solomon Meir) that Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity for peace was recently reiterated by US President Donald Trumps son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. Kushner, speaking of Trumps deal of the century, declared on CNN that if Palestinians reject the plan, theyre going to screw up another opportunity, like theyve screwed up every other opportunity that theyve ever had in their existence.

Comment: Middle East ‘Deal of Century’ is step toward apartheid – The Daily Herald

| February 2, 2020

By Omri Boehm / Special to The Washington Post The announcement of President Trumps Middle East Deal of the Century this week basically cedes the West Bank to Israel, allowing the country to seize land that would otherwise have constituted a Palestinian state. Since Palestinian representatives were not invited to the White House for the policys announcement (Trump told reporters last week that the details of the program had been discussed with Palestinian leadership only briefly), the policys significance seems to lie outside the formal proposal; that is, in how Israel, backed by the United States, will respond once the Palestinians reject the offer. In all likelihood, the response will include massive one-sided annexations, empowered by the claim that the Palestinians had refused to compromise

The Recorder – The other side of Plymouth Rock – The Recorder

| February 2, 2020

Plymouth, Massachusetts, is gearing up for a big anniversary this year: It was in December 1620 that a group of English Puritans, who came to be known as the Pilgrims, landed on the shore of eastern Massachusetts and began to build a settlement that would eventually help shape some of the basic principles, traditions, and social and legal systems of the future American nation. At least thats how whitewashed history has painted the story. Along the way, some of the events and people of the settlement would become part of American folklore, from the tradition of Thanksgiving and the legend of Plymouth Rock.
