Stuff: Questioning the Palestinian Narrative
How is it that the world routinely turns a blind eye to the murder of Israelis?

However, this popular narrative bears little relationship to reality.

None of this context matters to Minto, who for some reason sees the Palestinian cause as his raison d’être. He should realise by now that the Israel/Palestinian conflict is nothing like the South African situation where he won his spurs as an activist.
