Dear Editor,
In "Israel's Arabs Within", [Feb. 16, 2009], the author quotes an Israeli Arab, Azmi Bishara, saying that "the state came here and was enforced on the ruins of my nation." But which nation is that? The one in her mind? Before Israel, the land was British. Before being British, the land was the Ottoman Empire for 400 years. This fallacious rhetoric has no place even in an op-ed piece, especially when it is meant to revise history - to promote a cause. The Washington Post would better serve its readers by editing such statements out, or else it is complicit in propagating propaganda.
