The good Jews debate as to when their Zionist Settler Colony went wrong while the bad Jews pursue "Mein Kampf in reverse" at the enormous cost to indigenous Arab Palestinians over three generations. Maung Zarni May 15, 2026  ORIGINAL LINK:   https://maungzarni.substack.com/p/78-years-after-al-nakba-palestinians As Daily Dispatch (14 May 1948) stresses, “History is often written by the victor.
