Libros Revolución welcomes Mahmud Ahmad of Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition (www.al-awda.org) speaking on the right of return, and why it is so important to the Palestinian struggle. Palestinians call what happened to them beginning in 1947 the Nakba - Arabic for catastrophe. It was perpetrated by Zionist leaders looking to form the state of Israel on Palestinian land without the Palestinians. During the Nakba almost a million Palestinians (half the population at that time) were brutally forced from their land, villages and homes. When the Nakba ended, there had been at least 31 documented massacres. Some 531 villages and 11 urban neighborhoods
were emptied of their inhabitants. Come learn the truth about the right of
Palestinians to all of Palestine, including the land currently occupied by Israel.

"The right of return is just code for Economic blackmail."

No, it is a right enshrined in International Law that Israeli Zionists refuse the Palestinians, because Israel is built upon the ethnic cleansing of the region's inhabitants, and maintaining the Apartheid nature of the state - Israel's 'desired demographic' - is threatened by this right. This is what a Zionist really means when they speak of 'the destruction of Israel'.

'Right of Return'

May I remark that the appropriate use of quotation marks would be to apply them towards questionable definitions like ‘israel’ or ‘chosen people’ or even a ‘race’ called ‘The Jewish People’.
As for the Right to Return, the UN has, in many instances, condemned the state of ‘israel’ for violating the many resolutions ( 194 and the Geneva Conventions for instance ) passed to the total disregard of the zionist rulers.
“The 'Right of Return' is unsupported ANYWHE[RE]”
So why do these rabid and dangerous ideologues keep repeating these lies?
Particularly when they use a similar myth about a ‘promised land’ that has little to do with a cult of latter day nazis which occupies the native population by brutal force while engaging in a Pogrom of Genocide.
[ typically, the zionists will yammer about the growing population of Palestinians ( they are fond of the term, “breeding like rats” after begging Jews worldwide to immigrate for occupation ) and they never want to address the precise definition and the practice of the israeli state towards the Palestinian population, so here they are:
Genocide:
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
Pogrom:
an organized massacre of helpless people ]

The zionists can only engage in denial of the facts or fabricate the inversions of reality this racist cult requires to hide under.

these crazy cult members just stick their fingers in their ears, go "ya-ya-ya.." and then say that the points brought up were not answered.
If these loons ever admitted the existance of Palestine or Palestinians, their whole enterprise would fall apart.
Are they able to only repeat the same empty racist rhetoric?

Just more noise, but still no response. I've explained relevant facts and law, and all the anti-zionists can really say is 'we don't like those facts, and we don't like you'.

Of course, that doesn't change reality does it.

No, they're the ones suffering in Gaza, the world's largest Concentration Camp, and being attacked by Settler-Extremists in the W. Bank, in state-supported programs intended to make life for them so unbearable, that they abandon their fight for justice.

Your Disinformation only highlights the emptiness of your position, Plant.

The Jewish people aren't a "race"- there are black Jews, Asian Jews, native American Jews, and white Jews.

The Jews are a people, like the French are a people, or the Italians are a people

Jews are a people, a tribe but not an exclusivist tribe and so others have come in over the years. Race and skin color are an American obsession bu twe prefer to define people by their insides not their outsides.

did you type this?
"we prefer to define people by their insides not their outsides"
Exactly who are 'we' and what does that mean, anyway?
What does this lofty but vacuous expression have to do with the refugees of the Nabka?
You know, the Palestine people who were driven off their homeland?

The Effendi or 'Arab notables' were the local ruling feudal class, governing pre-state Israel under the Turks. Four Effendi familes owned 16 percent of all of the British Mandate of Palestine including Jordan. Most of the Moslems were share cropers, tenant farmers or nomads.

The descendants of these familes are the upper echelon of both Hamas and the PA., seeking to restore their feudal position, holdings and theocracy.

"Jews are a people"

No, that's simply a ruse Zionism constructed in order to dupe people into supporting their violent little Cult. But most Jews still reject and oppose Zionism.

An invention called 'the Jewish people'

Poll Reveals 'Neo-Con' Jewish Groups Unrepresentative

Judaism is a religion, and Zionism is a racist perversion of that religion.

But the topic here is the legal right of the Palestinians ethnically cleansed by the European Zionists' Terrorist Organizations to return to their land.

Did anyone notice the reference to Absentee landlord 'owership' used to negate the humanity or even existance of a people driven of their homeland?
Did anyone bring up the subject that only 2.5% of the land was purchased even with the funding of the nazi/zionist, Eichmann enterprise?
But hell, Eichmann could never have equaled Lord Balfor in the shear betrayel of a people, against their will, having believed the promise of the British Empire for Independance.
An Empire run for the banking houses of London who would betray the duped ( All the while believing themselves so cunning. ) zionists, of course the Palestinians and all the Jews lured into the killing fields of that ravaged land in the tick of a tape.

Zionist arrogance

A clear demonstration of zionist arrogance is that even when 2.5% of the land is purchased by Jzionists who collaborated with Eichmann, the tcarpet bagging zionists feel that they have superior rights and god given 'rights' to the entire middle east.

"Jewish self determination" is a code word for zionist ethnic cleansing or genocide under the figleaf of 'self determination' which is built over the mass graves of the former inhabitants.
They're determined, alright.
Most Jews deplore the zionist murder machine as it brings shame on them.
Most zionists aren't even Jewish.

Jizrael is a terrorist state. Wipe the filthy swine off the map.

You zionazis crack me up.
Can't you at least make up something that is serious?
..
""Anti-zionism
" and its companion "Ism", "Palestinianism", have proven to be empty ideologies, iin dramtic contrast to the vibrancy of the Jewish aqnd Zionist world. Ironically, but for the Jrwish return to "Zion" or "Jerusalem", we would have never heard of "Palestine", or "Palestinians" as that identity is defined only in the negative, that being only as opposed to the state of Israel..."
at this point I couldn't stop laughing.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
'Isreal'?
Ha ha ha ha
You monkeys sure have a sense of irony.

Palestinians have a right to return to palestine because the Palestinians sat they do.

Zionist crusaders occupying Palestinian lands seem to think/feel that because Zionist crusaders occupying palestinian lands fly their flags fly over Palestinian lands that Zionst crusaders have a right to deny the Palestinians the Palestinian's right to self determiantion.

Sorry, or NOT so sorry, but that is BULLSHIT. The ZIonist crusader's occupation of Palestinian lands is a reason to liberate palestine and will NEVER be a reason to appease the MURDEROUS THIEVING Zionist crusader's bloodsoaked murderous theth of palestinian lands. DUH!

I didn't know the zionists actually argued for and against themselves.
By deception, thou shall do war.
But you should at least be able to decieve.

I think the major give away is the use of capitalization.
But under the bombastic rethoric, the sorrow and grief of the Palestinin people remains all too sincere. The Palestinian people only want peace and humanity, not deserved revenge. They have stated this many times while the zionists attempt to assign their own hate to these people.
Time for a great cleansing of truth and reconciliation and an end to dirty tricks.
