[ePalestine] Two astounding journalists, one in 2015, the other in 1923

Haaretz

In Israel, we walk amongst killers and torturers

The harassment of the Al-Midan Theater stems from envy of our subjects' ability to overcome oppression, to think and create, in defiance of our image of them as inferior.

IDF detain a Palestinian during clashes in the Jalazone refugee camp, June 12, 2015.

I write "thousands" as a substitute for the vaguer "countless" – an expression for something that cannot be measured.

The Palestine Deception, 1915–1923: The McMahon-Hussein Correspondence, the Balfour Declaration, and the Jewish National Home

By: J. M. N. Jeffries

Have you ever heard of the journalist J. M. N. Jeffries? Me neither. Before stating who he was, let me provide an analogy; he was the Amira Hass of the UK, speaking truth to power (and speaking truth to lies, many lies), just like Amira today! He reported from ground zero in Palestine and did not shy away from calling reality as he witnessed it.
