This is a Letter to the Editor published in the April edition of the Community Word.
“In an article published in The Community Word titled “Gaza must be free from Hamas” (December, 2023), author Susan Katz provided “Historical context” to the ongoing conflict. Unfortunately, this history was filled with misinformation, facts out of context, or straight-up fictions. Such revisionism supports harmful narratives against Palestinians and makes any long-term solution to the conflict impossible.”
CORRECTION: In this article, I state that the 150,000 Palestinians that remained in Israel after the Nakba had “zero rights.” This is incorrect. They did have some rights like the right to vote and run for political office. However, they did remain under military rule until 1967.
