Elder of Ziyon
It is a recollection of a Palestinian in Lebanon of what his teacher had taught him about leaving Palestine in 1948.
He pressed the arms of the razor: "With this we will deal with lice...how? We shave our hair to nothing, and with this, young men, we prevent lice from hiding among the hair because we shaved them."A boy sitting on a stone either side raised his finger and asked, "And the fleas, Professor?""Lice and fleas feed on our blood, and our blood is weak because we eat food that does not satisfy us. I mean, lice suck our blood, I mean, they don't care if we die, and so they do what the Jews did to us, who expelled us from our villages and homes and threw us under tents due to cold, hunger, and lice."- "These days, the days of hunger, lice, and living under tents will pass, and you will grow old and fight and liberate our villages and cities. We will be victorious over lice and those who occupy our villages and cities."* I am Rashad Abu Shawer...we have grown up with heads full of certainty of the inevitability of liberating all the villages and cities of Palestine, just as Mr. Ahmed Al-Ajouri liberated our heads from lice.....
Comparing Jews to lice? Why would anyone think that this has anything to do with Jews?
