Official PA daily: Israelis are "foreign invaders"
Headline: “The Nakba – that the injustice will establish a country!”
Excerpt of article by Muwaffaq Matar, regular columnist for the official PA daily
“That there should remain in the world a Palestinian refugee who wants to return to the homeland Palestine and the barbed wire and laws of the occupiers prevented him from doing so, and that the preachers of justice and freedom in the world would know that injustice established a state - from here began the Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) of the world…
The occupiers think, despite their intelligence, weapon capabilities, and financial capabilities, that our land does not differentiate between foreign invaders and those who love it; the land alone, like a mother, holds the secret of distinguishing between its true child and a fake one.
The foreign invaders know that the human memory is hidden in the ground, even if the bones of its people rot, but they [the foreign invaders] insist!”
