    Thank you, Joan Peters, documented fraudster, for your admission at the 3 minute mark: “their land”. As for the other bogus claims, too many to mention, what is the term ‘anti-Semitism’ if not a wholesale robbery of a persona? Most Israeli Jews are not Semites, almost all Palestinian Arabs are. Switch to fiction, Ms Peters, perpetrating one academic hoaxes, nay fraud, is more than enough for us to poke fun and holes at.

    In the video above she’s only just getting started. Later on in the interview I learnt that “the Arabs” are all obsessed with “death”, while Israelis are obsessed with “peace”. I also learnt that Israel cooperated with the expulsion of the PLO from Jordan because it was “trying to be loved” – naively, since Israel will never be loved until there are drastic changes in “Islam”.

    My eyes have been opened.

    It’s like an epiphany…thank you. I’ve sent back my dissertation and all my essays, with a copy of this interview – clearly somewhere we’ve all gone very wrong. No-one tell Finkelstein though, he’s really committed to the lie.

    I could only take two minutes. When was this bedtimestory recorded? Indeed, don’t tell Finkelstein!

    Well, Peters references Ariel Sharon as Israel’s PM so the interview would have been conducted sometime between March 2001 and January 2006. It seems Norman Finkelstein (hereafter, the Obscurer of Truth) has already seen the interview – as Chris says, however, I suspect he’s beyond saving now.

    Urgh — “human baby bomb”: disgusting, openly racist.

    Not just a “human baby bomb”, Asa, but a “literal human baby bomb”. Now we know why Israel needs all those F-16s.

    Of course that’s one very simple way of justifying Israel’s routine abuse and murder of Palestinian children – ‘they’re not babies, they’re baby bombs!’

    Interesting discovery. I agree this is obviously propaganda and Zola Levitt knows it. And it isn’t from the 1980s but a recent interview. So both are aware they are distributing propaganda for the Christian sheep.Who sponsors this enterprise?

    Zola Levitt Ministries
    transcript starting about 2:44 [now it should work]

    Joan Peters: They wanted to be called Southern Syrians or A**mons, Arabs or the Greater Arab Nation anything but Palestinians. Than they began to realize they couldn’t get the Israelis out of their land but by military means, and so they began to incorporate this robbery of a persona.

    Zola Levitt: When the UN divided up, well [watch his face carefully here, he knows what he is doing] they made a Jewish homeland anyway, and it really started out to include what we now call Jordan, isn’t that so?

    Joan Peters: Everything, everything from Hejaz, which is the Arabian peninsula, to the Mediterranean was supposed to be the Jewish national home; and then they lobbed off part of it and that was called the kingdom of Jordan; and in fact the Arab Palestinian state of Jordan became a Palestinian state of Jordan only in 1946, only two years efore the Jewish Palestinian State of Israel came to be internationally recognized in 1948.

    Zola Levitt, from what I can tell, is (was) pretty much of the same mind as Peters (presumably why he invited her on the the show). As for whether they actually believed what she’s saying – I don’t know. It’s possible – after all, some people sincerely believe that there’s an alien conspiracy trying to rule the world. People will believe all kinds of crazy things. That said, when Peters concocted her fraudulent book back in the 80s there’s no way she could have done it by accident – the lies, the misquotes, the invented statistics, etc. were all quite deliberate. So it seems fair to label her, at least, a charlatan, and not merely misguided.

    Well, Jamie. Go back and look carefully. He starts out with dividing, than stops, that is he corrects himself in mid-sentence, only taking about that the UN created a Jewish homeland which included Jordan. And he clearly hesitates for a second.

    [starting 3:08] Zola Levitt: When the UN divided up, well they made a Jewish homeland anyway, and it really started out to include what we now call Jordan, isn’t that so?

    It would be interesting when he feed this to his audience.
