There are about 775 million illiterate adults worldwide. Despite the efforts made, UNESCO acknowledges that full literacy remains a distant goal.

President Moncef Morzouki of Tunisia ponders after reading Shlomo Sand's The Invention of the Jewish People, and asks about the lessons and consequences it might have for other nations and peoples. Applauding the courageous historian who meticulously outlined in his book the various methods of fabrication pursued by the Zionist historians of 19th c. Europe as they weaved this legend to which the Palestinians became victims, to which until this day is taught in Israeli schools (and around the world) as absolute and complete truth. When TRUTH be told, Ben Gurion, one of the founders of the State of "Israel", concurred until the end of the 1920s that the Palestinians were the grandchildren of the Ancient Israelites, and that they would open their arms and hearts to their immigrating brethren. But when the Palestinians held on to their Arabness, Ben Gurion's views changed and he flipflopped as it wasn't convenient for his political agenda —and so did the conceptual paradigm, making the Palestinians into foreigners who had conquered the Land of the Fathers and the Grandfathers, and therefore must be expelled. Our present generation, therefore, is now facing a unique phenomenon in figuring out where to start since there is TRUTH in that all national histories, which are taught in high schools all across the world, are in fact fabricated from A to Z, thanks to the massive sophisticated propaganda and historical distortions of the mainstream media and publishing houses that Zionists control.

The lies and propaganda have only contribute to suffering and destruction.
