Ilan Pappé Speaks on Anniversary of al Nakba

Manchester, England. 6th June 2008. Israeli historian Ilan Pappé speaks at a rally sponsored by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign on the anniversary of al Nakba (the catastrophe). The catastrophe was the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians carried out by the Zionists to establish the state of Isreal in 1948. Pappé exposed the suppressed history of this episode in his book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.

Pappé was formerly an academic at Haifa University. He now teaches at Exeter University in England.

I'm 62, live in Wyoming. I am not here to play petty games, exchange insults which serve no purpose. Ilan Pappe is speaking cogently and basing his address upon facts and data. Truths which may not be easy to admit. Ignorance is not an ethical basis for dialogue or insults. Please take your games elsewhere and allow those seeking information the freedom of choice to do so, without the insult of bigotry!

There can´t be any "anniversary of al Nakba", it´s an ongoing event.

@adycousins As youi can see I skipped 4 and 5. Debate facts and history are not your strong suites.

[Kreplach6]

@adycousins Oh yes what a great refutation. I made it all up. Nice and easy and neat for you.

[flumoxed2]

@adycousins - you'll also need to block kreplach2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ( not much of an imagination im afraid ) as well as schlomo etc - this nuts got a myriad of accounts which he uses to stalk & harass people

watch?v=y1dir7h_anU

[adycousins]

@kreplach3 Oh yes, now I remember. No point in "debate" with someone who just makes stuff up. I await kreplach4

[adycousins]

@kreplach3 Depends on your comments

[adycousins]

@kreplach3 It would appear that you're not blocked. Hundreds of dead civillians = massacre. And why did the Hagganah prefer it to be thought of as a massacre? Because TERROR was the instrument of forced displacement.
