Continuing where I left off yesterday when I referred to a Guardian column by the Hamas spokesman Mousa Abu Marzook, today's Guardian has a column in reply by an Israeli, Uri Dromi, who apparently was a spokesman for the Rabin and Peres governments. He goes for Marzook and his "Orwellian newspeak" for claiming victory in Gaza and categorises Hamas's "Orwellian mindset" as as much a barrier to peace as the rockets it fires. In yesterday's entry I emphasised Marzook's reference to Sderot having been built on the ruins of a Palestinian village destroyed in 1948. Dromi also refers to this but the words he uses speaks volumes. He writes "He only (my emphasis) cares to remind us that once there was an Arab village there , and that its residents were kicked out by the Israelis in 1948." Only indeed.
