Columnist Dr Abdulaziz al-Maqaleh says in his column this week that it is really a time of deformation when values, human, language and cultures are all deformed. At this time of comprehensive deformation it is not strange that the Zionist entity celebrates an ''independence'' anniversary. Whose independence and from whom? How cold such a big lie pass to the extent that some Arab leaderships have quickly congratulated the usurper entity on its ''independence'' while it is the one that usurped the Arab land and played a spearhead for the British occupation of Palestine and has become the occupation itself. Has ignorance reached to the extent that the world and some Arab regimes forget how this entity was founded?
Some of the British occupying forces left Palestine and the other important some stayed behind and Palestine is still under the occupation and is still suffering from the worst kind of occupation, colonialist occupation. This is the occupation which is nowadays being celebrated; it is a celebration marking the usurpation of the land of Palestine, with changing only the term.
