My Turn: The Palestinian Arab encounter with Zionism
Over time, I have gotten to know many Palestinians. Like Jewish people I’ve known, they tend to be bright, inquisitive, and informed. Palestinians often prove generous beyond their capacity to be so. The incredibly sad, hard fact is, were it not for the emerging dominance of aggressive Zionists among Jewish leaders before World War II, their $35 million pre-war transfer agreement with the Nazis to scuttle global boycott of German goods, and their horrific aggression when they invaded Palestine after the war, they precluded any peaceful outcome — for the foreseeable future.
