Published by Al-Aqsa Publishers, Leicester UK 2005
The occupation of Palestine is based on a 19th century ideology that denied the very existence of the Palestinian people and pursued a colonial agenda asserting divine claims to a 'land without a people.' In response to this 'Theo-colonial' aggression, the Palestinian resistance adopted the strategy of 'a protracted peoples war' to regain recognition as a dispossessed, rather than 'nonexistent' nation.
To this day Palestinians still have no state or armed forces. The occupiers subject them to curfews, expulsions, home demolitions, legalized torture, and a highly imaginative assortment of human rights violations.
Dr Daud A Abdullah born in Grenada, awarded a Doctorate from University of Khartoum , has been a senior researcher at the Palestine Return Centre, London, He also lectures at Birkbeck College, University of London
