<p><strong> <strong><a rel="dc:source" href="http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/60yearsofdivision/2008/05/200861505832774965.html">Israel committing memorycide’</a></strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span><strong>“Part of any ethnic cleansing operation is not just wiping out the population and expelling it from the earth. A very typical part of ethnic cleansing is wiping people out of history…For ethnic cleansing to be an effective and successful operation you also have to wipe people out of memory and the Israelis are very good at it.”</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>In the second edition (2003) of his book, <a href="http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/content.php?pg=4" target="_blank"><strong>“Image And Reality of the Israel-Palestinian Conflict”</strong>,</a> author <a href="http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/" target="_self">Norman Finkelstein </a>documents the ongoing efforts of the Zionist movement to  “disappear” the Arabs:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>” “Disappearing” the Arabs lay at the heart of the Zionist dream, and was also a necessary condition of its existence…”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><strong>The Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, writing in<a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/60yearsofdivision/2008/05/200861505832774965.html" target="_blank"> Al Jazeera </a>confirms:</strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“They built Jewish settlements over the Palestinian villages they expelled and quite often gave them names that reflected the Palestinian name as a kind of testimony to the Palestinians that this is totally now in the hands of Israel and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">there is no chance in the world of bringing the clock backwards.</span>“</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population</span>.&#8221;<strong>Moshe Dayan</strong>, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Christian Zionists, looking to justify the ongoing extermination of the peoples and culture of Palestine need to discover the TRUTH about the Zionist movements earliest efforts to erase history—the history of a people, and the dark legacy of obfuscation, lies, and whole cloth historical revisionism which permeates the ‘official’ body of literature underlying modern day Zionist propaganda—most notably <strong>Joan Peterson’s</strong> fraud, “<strong>From Time Immemorial”</strong>. Peterson’s assertions that Palestine was essentially empty and that the Palestinian settlements occurred concurrent with the early Jewish influx are often embraced by Christian Zionists as justification for the severe treatment of the Palestinian people.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Peterson’s book uses fabrications, distortion, and fraudulent statistics—as documented by Finkelstein—to create specious rationale for the ongoing genocide and ‘erasure’ of the Palestinian people, an atrocity against not only human dignity, but the historical record.</strong></p>
<p><strong>No one can actually ‘erase’ memory, and the final judgment will be based upon ABSOLUTE TRUTH with no human intervention. Those professing a faith based upon the legacy of Abraham, Moses, and Christ need to take notice as the efficacy of the ONE who renders PERFECT judgment:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><strong><em>“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">maketh a lie</span>: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”</em>-Revelation 21:27</strong></strong></p></blockquote>
