Of all the ethnic groups which have conquered and ruled Palestine - the Jews from at least 1200 BC (forgetting the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions), the Romans from 6 CE, the Arabs from 637, the Ottoman Turks from 1516, the British from 1917, the Jews again with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 - David Ainsworth has singled out just one, the Arabs, as the only legitimate rulers of Palestine, characterising all the others as colonial invaders. Why should Arab nationalism be any more legitimate than Jewish nationalism? |
