"Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of outrage - - - - torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians - - - -  which does not change its moral color when it is committed by our side. The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." -George Orwell

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels (2)

A few of the many books on Palestine. If words had brought justice, all people would have rejoiced. The first book was referred to on Thursday and charts the perfidy of Britain from early after WW2.

The Web of Deceit - Mark Curtis. Excellent scholarly book, written when he was a senior fellow at Chatham House.

Publish it not – Christopher Mayhew and Michael Adams Signal Books ISBN 1-904955-19-3
An excellent book, just reissued. I have a spare copy for sale.

Image and Reality of the Israeli-Palestine Conflict Norman G Finkelstein Verso - ISBN 1-85984-442-1

A Little Piece of Ground Elizabeth Laird Macmillan – for youngsters but good for adults as well.
Banned in America for allegedly being anti-semitic. Good book, recommended by Michael Morpurgo

Flowers of Galilee - the Collected Essays of Israel Shamir Dandelion Books, Arizona
ISBN 1-893302-78-4 Not a popular book with Israelis (perhaps because he 'spits it out'), but I found it remarkable

The Hidden History of Zionism Ralph Schoenman Veritas ISBN 0-929675-00-2
He was secretary to Bertrand Russell for a dozen years. Easily read and informative. Was in the Sabra and Shatila camps when Sharon allowed the Phalangists to massacre over 1500 people

The New Rulers of the World John Pilger Verso ISBN 1-85984-412-X

And the newspaper I get every day. Concise, truthful, spits it out. Owned by the readers and not by millionaires to whom our lying leaders defer. Online fee per annum £60. No commercial advertising.
