It is located in the desert, near the Dead Sea—a place where 960 Jewish zealots—men, women and children—committed (…)

    www.countercurrents.org 16 May, 2008
    ’Don’t ask for what you never had,’ is the underlying message made by supporters of Israel when they claim Palestine was never a state to begin with.
    The contention is, of course, easily refutable. Following the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th Century, colonial powers plotted to divide the spoils. When Britain and France signed the secretive Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916, which divided the spheres of influence in west Asia, (…)
