No matter how many times I read it, it still doesn't make sense. It comes off as one of those family tradition stories that gets passed down and taken as gospel when in fact it can't be more fake. You know, like on Antique Roadshow, "Great great great great great great Granddad got this statue directly from the direct descendant of Count Vlad the Impaler in 1605." "Yeah, not sure how to tell you, this was made in New Jersey in 1982." None of it is true. But she seems to believe it. She should be criticized, not for making light of the holocaust, but for being completely ignorant of history and the Palestinian's stance on a Jewish Israel.
I think what she’s saying is that Palestinians had everything taken from them so that the Jews could have safe haven. The safe haven wasn’t given by the pals, it was taken by the Jews. That’s what it seems like she’s saying.
Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.
