COMMENT : The dispossessed are definitively disenfranchised — Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

Land in Balochistan, like that of Sindh, would have been parcelled out had not the Baloch understood that dispossession means disenfranchisement

“For a colonised people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity” — Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of  the Earth.

Land acquisition is the surest way for securing a stranglehold on the people to be occupied. Before the Zionists got powerful enough to force the Palestinians from their land, they bought it with the lucre of wealthy Jews, of whom Baron Benjamin (Edmond James) de Rothschild (1845-1934) is important. He transferred 25,000 hectares of land in 1900 to the Jewish Colonisation Association. According to an estimate, the total loss resulting from the unjust land acquisition by the Zionists reached Pounds 7.43 billion. By 1948’s general armistice, Israel had taken over 77 percent of the Palestinian land. First money dispossessed the Palestinians and then thanks to the western powers, force did the rest.
