2009 for the people of Gaza

Arundhati Roy, speaking at the Lannan Foundation Lectures:

"In follow up to the 1917 Balfour declaration which imperial Britain issued with it's army massed outside the gates of Gaza. The Balfour declaration promised Europeon Zionist a national home for Jewish people. At the time the Empire on which the sun never set was free to snatch and bequeath national homes like a school bully distributes marbles. How carelessly imperial power vivisected ancient civilizations. Palestine and Kashmir are imperial britain's festering, blood drenched gifts to the modern world. Both are fault lines in the raging international conflicts of today. In 1937 Winston Churchill said of the Palestinians, I quote, 'I do not agree that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lay there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance that the great wrong has been done to the red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, a more wordly wise race to put it that way has come in and taken their place'. That set the trend for the Isreali's state's attitude towards Palestinians."

Google it. Or just admit that we are a higher grade race.
