Following Zionist Discourse & "Contested narratives"? What nonsense is this?!



The Editors of PTT would like to draw your attention to two articles we think you may be interested in: the first is the 2nd article in the series of "Common Activist Errors" and some proposals to rectify them. Getting trapped inside a Zionist narrative and discourse is something we can and must avoid.

The second piece is part of the PTT and Tlaxcala "First Word War". Khalil Nakhleh writes:

The emergence of "contested histories" coincided with the imposition of a new foreign (and mythical) narrative, with European origins, that justified the control over the indigenous Palestinian Arab population, and their dispossession and alienation from their land, culture, language, and other sources, leading to depriving them of their humanity. This imposed colonial narrative eventually led to their physical decimation, their ruthless ethnic cleansing, and fragmentation of their social structure, history and culture.
