Re: Edward Said - American Zionism (3)

Thanks Wagar for that reply.  

I agree: Post 1948 Jewish Zionism is first and foremost to 
blame for its deadly arrogance towards the Palestinians.  
Our historical analysis is only intended to complicate the 
present stereotype of a simple binary conflict between Jews 
and Arabs to one that incorporates the colonialist impact on 
the region, and hence to discredit the present image of the 
US as an honest peace broker, the one that brings these 
two squabbling groups together.  

On the contrary, our historical analysis is based on the premise 
that the US and Europe have been involved in the region for 
sometimes now, not on the side of peacemakers but as crusaders,
past and present.
