A lesson in history about Israel

In her column (Opinion, July 24) Victoria White has cobbled a ragbag of factoids together in a disjointed and illogical proposal that, “we have a duty to stand with the Palestinians”.

Her argument stretches, somewhat imaginatively, from the claim that, “Europeans drove 800,000 Palestinians off land that had been theirs for centuries,” to the cry that present day Israel should lose the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
