"I do not agree that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger, even though he may have lain there a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the Black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, a more world-wise race has taken
their place." -Winston Churchill justifying the racist ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in the above quotation.

(During the british colonial occupation of palestine Churchill testified at the hight of the British Colonial
offensive against the Palestinians to the Peel Commission of Inquiry in 1937. Churchill justified the military action on the grounds of the racial superiority of the Jews to Arabs.)

The individual images (from the UN) are of the expulsion of 800,000 Palestinians from their native lands at Israeli gun point (Al Nakba).
