All the stuff about Moses is irrelevent to today's struggle. The stuff about the Jews of the diaspora wishing to go home for 2,000 years is also irrelevent.
All the stuff about the Kurds is irrelevent, except for the allegation that Kurds and Turks constituted the majority of the population of Palestine (which is the first I've ever heard of it).
The allegation about the Israelis being outnumbers in 1948 is untrue. Israel outnumbered the combined military forces that were sent against them at all times (except in Jerusalem, where they weren't supposed to be anyway).
What I don't get a sense of is what the pamphlet or CD are supposedly about. Is it about a history of the Jewish people? Is it a history of the Levant / Palestine / Israel? Is it attempting to explain the ME struggles? Without a context to judge the omissions, how do I know whether that's a valid critique.
I only hear they are anti-semetic. Maybe they are, I can't tell from what you've provided me. I do get the sense that the authors equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semetism. I'm anti-Zionist. I'm also extremely hostile to anyone who says anything bad about Jews as individuals or a people. I hae even put my life on the line to stand up to anti-Semetism. I just don't agree with Israel's conduct.
