Today is the first part in a new series where I try to explain to my readers the history and importance of people, places, words, and ideas that we use daily, but don't always explain.
Thanks Shaun, I'm glad I subscribed yesterday. This article puts into context a history of Palestine. It is very much an education for me, arranging things I had heard of (I'm 78) before, but never really had much of an understanding. It's easy to see why Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt and other conscientious Jews in their letter to NYT in December 1948 objected to statehood for the Zionists.
I spoke with a high school senior about his history classes. He said last year they covered the Palestine–Israel issue by ‘listening to both sides’ and avoiding taking a stance. Umm… we need real history teachers out here—teachers who don’t sugarcoat theft, murder, and ethnic cleansing as neutral perspectives.
Parents also need to do a better job challenging Zionist curriculums in schools. Kids are literally being taught to overlook dead and starving children. What kind of education is that?
Really devastating to read this and see the crimes happening daily with our tax dollars. There’s no justice in this world. It’s like waking up in a dystopian nightmare and many people are acting like everything is completely normal. I wish we can live to see the day that there is justice, Palestine is restored, and these criminals get what they deserve
Hope you all will enjoy these new longer form pieces breaking things down.

Absolutely my friend. Glad to have you here.
