Zionist myths:A Short History of the Colonization of Palestine

In 1967, the remainder of Palestine was invaded and occupied by the Zionists and another 350, 000 Palestinians were expelled or fled. In the 1970’s, the “Judaization of the Galilee” (the term Zionists use to describe the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from this area for exclusively Jewish settlement) followed the same pattern of settlement familiar throughout historic Palestine:

–the confiscation of agricultural and grazing land in the areas surrounding Palestinian population centers;

–the freezing of growth in Palestinian villages by denying building and planning rights;

–the systematic demolition of Palestinian homes and businesses

–planned Jewish settlement aimed at breaking up the territorial continuity of Palestinian areas;

–the denial of access to basic services such as water (the theft of that water)

–policies aimed at preventing Palestinian economic subsistence and forcing dependence on settlers.

Through the “peace negotiations” of Oslo, the Geneva Accords, and the Road Map, Zionists have pursued a policy of stealing more land and striking genuine resistance to colonial settlement with crushing force.
