When all the world’s a stage and all the Zionists are merely players

The Jerusalem Post is running a story on Palestinian reaction to the images of Israeli citizen’s being evicted from their home. Once again it proves how firmly Israelis remain entrenched as the “other” to their Palestinian neighbors.

Claiming that most of the settlers had left their homes after receiving generous compensations before the beginning of the evacuation, Rabah said he believed the Jews who had infiltrated the Gaza Strip to resist the disengagement were actually sent by the "directors of this play" to weep and barricade themselves inside synagogues.

"I have no sympathy for the settlers," said Jihan Mahmoud, a university student from a village near Ramallah. "What we saw on television was just a show. Unfortunately, the international media, which is largely controlled by Jews, played into the hand of Sharon and the settlers. Where were they when hundreds of Palestinian families were expelled from their homes in Rafah during the intifada?"

Summing up the general attitude of the Palestinian's toward the evacuation of the settlers, Hani al-Masri, a prominent political analyst, wrote in the daily al-Ayyam under the title "Painful concessions or a theater?" that the scenes from the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank would not change the real face of the settlers.
"The dramatic and sad pictures carried by the world media showing settlers being 'uprooted' from their 'homes' and 'holy sites,' as well as the civilized picture of the Israeli soldiers and police, won't forge the historic, political and geographic reality," he said. "The settlers are racists who occupied others' lands in 1967, spread corruption and displaced the Palestinian people and turned their lives into hell."


"spread corruption and displaced the Palestinian people and turned their lives into hell”, sounds like a play taken right out of the Mein Kampf handbook.
