The never-ending ’struggle for Palestine‘ – Palestinian irredentism looks to perpetuate struggle against Israel, making the fight against the Jewish state a goal in itself. – Asaf Romirowsky | Israel National News

(JNS) – In his 1974 book “Palestinians and Israel,” the late Yehoshafat Harkabi wrote that following the Six-Day War:
“The collision with the Palestinians is presented as the essence of the conflict, for this is allegedly a struggle for national liberation. Arabs explain, especially to foreigners, that the antagonism is not that of large Arab states versus a small state like Israel but of an oppressed people against a strong, colonialist oppressive state … The focus of the conflict has shifted. It is not between states but between a government and a people struggling for its liberation, which by definition is a just war that deserves support.”
