In a powerful interview while on a book tour of Australia and New Zealand for his latest work, The Last Earth, A Palestinian Story (Pluto Press), Palestinian-American Ramzy Baroud comments on Israel's latest violence on the people of Gaza and how the Israelis continue to portray themselves as victims and their unarmed victims as terrorists. In both countries, Baroud had a chance to speak to members of parliament, something that would not be possible in the Zionist controlled US. Baroud speaks of how the Zionist narrative that is predominant has been focused on dehumanizing the Palestinians, denying their identity and their history; that the Nakba was not just in 1948 but has been ongoing. In his book, The Last Earth he presents eight of their stories in the words of those who have been struggling for their freedom and maintaining their identity and humanity which is captured in the Arabic word, samud, which means steadfastness in English but which is yet more.
