The Institute for Palestine Studies frames the work as an author’s free expression and emphasizes its aim to inform the public. An introduction by Hisham Sharabi highlights Berger’s insights and courage in confronting misinformation surrounding the Palestine problem. It outlines “fundamentals” including denial of Palestinian self-determination, dispossession, suffering, and the colonizing character of Zionist movement.","The Institute for Palestine Studies

Dr.HishamSharabi,editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies,wrote his\"Memoirs ofan Anti-Zionist Jew,\"1 the members of the Editorial Board of theJournal and its editor were deeply impressed with the high quality andpermanent contribution of those reminiscences.I am sure that thisimpression has been shared by readers of the Journal,whether or notthey were previously acquainted with Dr.Berger's relentless endea-vour for justice and peace in Palestine.Dr.Berger was then requestedto expand these\"Memoirs\"for separate publication by the Institutefor Palestine Studies,and I was given the privilege of writing anintroduction.  \nI accepted this assignment with mixed feelings.On the one hand,I regarded it,as I said,a privilege to present to the reading publicthis stirring account of a dedicated life which many like myselfhave followed with admiration and respect.But,on the other,I havefelt that any comment that Imay be able to make on it would either besuperfluous or would spoil its effect on the reader.The Memoirs speakfor themselves.They present the facts so simply and they ring withsuch sincerity and conviction that they gain immediate access to thereader's mind and heart.For this reason,I willtry to be brief,hopingto avoid any interference with the impact which Dr.Berger's accountwill,Iam sure,have on any one who will have the opportunity to readit and to be inspired by it as I personally have been.  \nDr.Berger's life and work have been distinguished both by hisdeep insights into one of today's most harassing problems—theproblem of Palestine—and by his courage and persistence in defend-  \nINTRODUCTION  \ning the truths that these insights revealed.He has regarded it as hisduty to expose the blind neglect and deliberate distortion of thosetruths and to combat the pernicious attitudes,policies and decisionswhich resulted from this neglect and distortion.His struggle has beenone of the few noteworthy and consistent attempts to go to the heartof the issue and\"to advocate the fundamentals.\"2 For there isperhaps no problem in human history which has been surroundedwith as much misrepresentation,deception and emotional manipul-ation as has been the problem of Palestine.The Zionists have createdand put into operation such a powerful machinery of information,orrather of misinformation,of calumniation and of intimidation thatthe fundamentals have not been allowed to appear;they have beenalmost completely submerged by a mass of untruths and irrele-vancies.  \nWhat are the fundamentals?They are,briefly,that the Palestinianshave long been denied the universally recognized right of self-determination;that they sta","cbCaiiisoiPPXx9s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiisoiPPXx9s","pdf",10885819,4,1,171,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n#
