Justice, as history shows, is defined by the powerful to the powerless, the oppressor to the oppressed, the whites to the people of color. As in the case of the Middle East, the colored people of the world were stunned by the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which promised a national Put The "U" homeland for the Jewish Zionists. Oddly enough this homeland was to be in Palestine, a land that had been occupied by Arabs ever since the white Romans Back In BSU drove the Jews away in the days of Christ.

It is only justice the Palestinians want, but causes of this lack of unity, and that is white racism. The only way they will not bury their dignity to get it.
