Their objection:"with UNRWA’s help, Palestinians are 'constantly looking back' [&] act as if they have 'undergone these experiences themselves'
"I read [the book] just before Tisha B’Av, the day on which Jews mourn the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem & the exiles…I listened to medieval kinnot, or dirges, that describe those events…2000 & 2500 years ago—in the first person & the present tense.
