"The Jewish people were forced from the Holy Land by the Romans and wandered Europe for two thousand years until they could reclaim their rightful homeland.

Even when I was a kid, that story didn’t sound quite right. I began to read about Jewish populations in places they weren’t supposed to be--China, Ethiopia, Central Asia, India. Not only that, but also Jews tend to resemble the people they live among. That didn’t quite fit the standard biblical narrative and the story of the diaspora. If we Jews are all—but for a few converts along the way—descended from David and Solomon, how come there are so many holes in the story?"

"Excluded from a political role by Israel and the United States, the European Union (EU) -- the largest aid donor -- hoped "that the provision of assistance and funds to the Palestinians would in turn give donors ammunition to influence American unilateral mediation efforts and Israeli policies on the ground" (173). But "courting the Americans and appeasing Israel" (173) did not have the desired effect. Instead, financial aid became a "fig leaf" (13) for the absence of a political process to resolve the underlying causes of conflict; it subsidized Israeli occupation and colonization, and donors knowingly bankrolled a Palestinian regime that was "authoritarian, unaccountable and repressive" (169) -- and completely dependent on subsidies."
