In response to The three core myths driving Israel’s war on Palestine

Just who are the superior people?

As the common myth uttered by Gideon Levy, that Israeli ideology regards Palestinians as an inferior people remains to the fore, reading Ramzy Baroud (P & I’s 29/10): “The unvanquished will: Gaza’s triumph of spirit against the architecture of genocide” one finds a more than arguable case that Palestinians are actually the “superior people”.

“To say that “Gazans are built differently” is a massive understatement… I still find their collective will astonishing. “Why is five-year-old Maria Hannoun, one of Gaza’s many influencers, continuing to recite the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish and sending fiery messages to US President Donald Trump that Gaza will never be defeated?”

Good enough for me to accept Palestinians are anything but inferior, particularly when compared to those who wish them gone from this life.
