LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT ‘ZIONGATE’

Extraordinary efforts by the White House to scupper Britain’s attempts to tackle global warming have been revealed in leaked US government documents obtained by The Observer.

There is no doubt that what is written there is a serious threat to mankind. It has become to be known as 'Climategate’. If you do a Google search on 'Climategate’ you will come up with close to 13 MILLION entries. It is the talk of the Net….. leaving behind other perils facing mankind.

One of the gates to the Old City of Jerusalem is called Zion Gate…. it is one of the 8 gates leading to the old City. These gates have been witness to the zionisation of Palestine.

For Palestinians, the day marks the expulsions and flight of Palestinians from their towns and villages in the face of Jewish and later Israeli troop advances, their defeat in the 1948 Palestine War and 1948 Arab-Israeli War,their displacement from Palestine, and the loss of their property.
The above refers to the Nakba, a period so heinous, it is forbidden to be mentioned in Israeli textbooks.

Of all the 8 gates referred to, I choose the Zion Gate as the example, not only because of its name, but because of its history. A history that has been repeating itself in Israel, Jerusalem in particular since 1948. The zionists have been attempting to 'cleanse’ the city of the 'enemy’ as routine procedure. Neighborhoods have popped up on Palestinian owned land, slowly but surely, Palestinians are being gotten rid of by home demolitions or illegal evictions.

Ziongate has become the biggest threat to the people of Palestine, in reality, a continuance of the Nakba.

For the sake of Palestine, let us not forget ziongate in our Internet travels….
