Robert Fisk, of all people, warns against exaggeration:
Pro-Palestinian marchers should think twice before they start waffling about genocide when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem once shook Hitler’s hand and said – in Berlin on 2 November 1943, to be precise – “The Germans know how to get rid of the Jews… They have definitely solved the Jewish problem.” The Grand Mufti, it need hardly be added, was a Palestinian.
Antony Loewenstein, who is prone to citing genocide claims, will be devastated. Fisk is his hero.
Others, less obsessed with petty point-scoring , may also be interested in Israel’s Well-Rehearsed Demolition of Gaza. It cites recent articles by Ilan Pappe and Jonathan Cook - both, IMO, more reliable sources than the somewhat suspect Mr Fisk.
