Dear Editor
The article on page 13 written by Abbey Makoe refers.
To make such a bold claim "that Israel is decimating every inch of their rightful territories…” is a narrative being perpetuated for far too long and it's not at all surprising that Makoe, like most western journalists, believes that blatant untruth.
As far back as pre-biblical times, Israelites lived "in the land between the Jordan (river) and the sea”…
Nowhere historically is it mentioned that Palestinians lived in that territory. So, for Makoe to write what isn’t historically not verifiable, is both mischievous and misleading.
If informed Arab historians themselves admit that “Palestine”…was a mere mental construct, then who is Makoe to substitute his own history? | Daleep San Pietermaritzburg
