I've been saying for the 25 years I've lived in and studied Israel that it is a highly militarised, ethno-nationalist, apartheid state, driven by an ugly Jewish supremacism that aggressively craves lebensraum and cannot make peace with its neighbours.
Western politicians and pundits have been telling you over the same period that Israel is a normal liberal democratic state where the rule of law applies, and anyone who disagrees is almost certainly an antisemite.
Which account of Israel better accords with what you have seen of Israel's behaviour over the past year?
“If this is not terrorism, I don’t know what is,” says the Post’s managing editor of content, Yonden Lhatoo, about the carnage in Lebanon caused by exploding pagers and walkie-talkies.
Meet Saleem Elrayes, Gaza's #1 antique dealer.
For 30yrs+, Saleem has collected private papers, rare books, manuscripts & historical documents from the people of Gaza relating to the history of Palestine.
Shortly before Oct 7, I was fortunate enough to visit his shop in Gaza City. I purchased 100s of documents dating from the 1910s-1960s.
Since Oct. 7th, the Israeli military bombed Saleem's home. Saleem believes his shop, which housed the literary heritage of the Palestinian people of Gaza, has been destroyed during Israel's genocidal rampage.
I'm sharing 200+ documents I received from Saleem for the first time now.
You can download them for free in the "Gaza Collection" here, in the folder titled "ملف غير محدد"

In total, the Gaza Collection now includes 600+ documents, all of them purchased from Saleem. Here's a video with Saleem, taken on October 2nd, 2023, from Saleem's home (which is now rubble), where he is explaining one of the documents in the collection:
Two approaches to scholarly error: Thomas Erpenius (1584-1624) translated the proverb “إذا زل العالِم زل بزلته عالَم” as “When the erudite err they err with erudite errors”. In fact, it was Erpenius who erred. It should read: “When a scholar errs, the world errs with him”.
