Truman broke the promise. The king didn't protest — he was dependent on US oil money. The leash held. The Palestinians lost. Six sons inherited the silence. 🛢️👑🇵🇸 #HundredYearsWar #Khalidi

Historian Rashid Khalidi‘s book Brokers of deceipt: How the US undermined peace in the Middle East

„You‘ve got to give them the hope
frankly, let’s face it: you‘ve got to make them think that there‘s some motion“ (in the peace process).
