"I write as a Catholic agitator, a peace and justice Vatican II believer who has come rather late to the cause of the Palestinian people."
Abstract:
Groucho Marx, the brilliant American comedian and raconteur famously asked: "Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"
This is what this book is all about.
In a letter to Albert Einstein (November 30, 1929) Chaim Weizmann, the dynamic Zionist promoter of the early 20th century wrote that "the Arabs are too primitive and also under the influence of factors such as Bolshevistic and Catholic agitation." I write as a Catholic agitator, a peace and justice Vatican II believer who has come rather late to the cause of the Palestinian people.
