“
There was no Zionist 'plan' or blanket policy of evicting the Arab population, or of 'ethnic cleansing'" and "the demonisation of Israel is largely based on lies—much as the demonisation of the Jews during the past 2,000 years has been based on lies. And there is a connection between the two.

And there is a connection between the two." in the context of "Article in the Irish Times, 21 February 2008, Morris, Benny.
