The Truth about Palestinians' Eternal Victimhood
(Telegraph-UK) Nicole Lampert - UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham lauded himself for standing up for "the underdog" Palestinians with his sanctions against Israel. The only reason Palestinians have always been the ultimate victims is that their enemies are the Jews. As such they are granted special status never seen before in world history. It is demanded that we ignore that Palestinians frequently start wars and then cry when they are attacked in response. When they lose wars, unlike any others who have been defeated in history, they still demand the land they once had and the world nods its head. When our Government demands that Israel must be punished for imperiling the two-state solution, the many refusals of the Palestinian leadership to agree to successive iterations of this plan are ignored. The fact that the Palestinians were given a pseudo-state in Gaza - which could have become a peaceful haven to show the world they no longer intended to destroy the Jewish nation - and used it only to launch their latest war, is deemed, somehow, not relevant. In this screwed-up narrative, the Palestinians can't ever be regarded as the aggressor, even when they are murdering, raping and beheading innocent civilians.
