Miracle or massacre?
1967.
59 years ago.
Only eight years before I was born.
Something "miraculous" happened on June 7th.
At least that's the story I grew up hearing.
This tiiiiiiiiiny little nation called Israe|....defeated the giant.
It was the story of David & Goliath in modern times.
Good versus evil.
The black & white photos of soldiers praying at the Western Wall filled me with deep pride.
I completely believed that God was on our side. If anyone needed proof...this was it.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to understand that I have been raised with a narrative written in blood by a Jewish supremacist's hand.
The blood of the people who lived on the land for centuries before 1967.
It's too long to share the whole article, but I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to read through these snippets I've shared from an Israe|i newspaper exposing the crimes against humanity that we have rewritten in the history books as "miraculous".
The "Six Day War" was a blood bath.
Where every Pa|estinian was seen as a target. Infants to the elderly.
And of course their blood hasn't stopped flowing.
And we don't even need soldiers to hold guns anymore. We have drones and AI to do the slaughter for us.
Since 1948 the Pa|estinian people have tried to tell us their story. Hardly anyone would listen.
Instead we have amplified the zi0nist narrative that weaponised the Holocaust to justify a gen0cide.
Those of us who want the bloodbath to end will be gathering tomorrow in memory of the "Naksa". When over 300,000
Pa|estinians were displaced and many many slaughtered.
If you believe that the bloodshed needs to stop...please join us.
It's as uncomplicated as that.













Horrific. Thank you for sharing these snippets, Veronica. I saw the introduction to the article but I’m not subscribed to Haaretz so I wasn’t able to read more.
So chilling to read these accounts, and how little has changed.
