There is a whole human rights industry built around indigenous rights and others people living on their stolen lands. The truth is that a large part of the world’s population lives on stolen land, on every continent, whether it be the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa or Australia. The outrage of the human rights groups is quite selective, and even though many of these campaigners live on stolen land, they seem most unwilling to move off it themselves. Even more remarkably, when it comes to Jews, they are accused of colonising what is in fact their own land. The fact is that in Israel and the West Bank the Jews are the indigenous people who have lived there continuously for thousands of years, and it is the Arabs, who today call themselves Palestinians, who are the true colonisers. However, in the current Alice in Wonderland world facts seem irrelevant. [Photograph: Jews at the wailing wall, 1891]
