Western countries "exploited the Zionist colonialist project to get rid of the Jewish problem in its lands" states PA Daily
Excerpt of an op-ed by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: “Elections and colonialism”
“One of the most complicated forms of colonialism is Zionist colonialism, which claims ‘first rights’ on the Palestinian Arab land; is based on negating the existence and identity of the native people, the Palestinian people; and is supported by the colonialist West. The forces that comprise this colonialism were gathered from among the members of the Jewish religion who were deceived; the colonialist West and its pawn – the Zionist movement – led them [to Palestine] to get rid of the Jewish problem in its lands, and to exploit and harness the Zionists for the benefit of the colonialist project whose goal is bigger than occupying historical Palestine: Tearing and fragmenting the unity of the Arab nation’s peoples and dissolving the pan-Arab revival project…
Zionist colonialism, which has been crouching over the historical Palestinian land for 72 years… is increasingly striving to deepen and widen the ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people and establish its fabricated and false narrative at the expense of the Palestinian people’s identity, history, and heritage.”
