  1. In Jaffa fifty years from now.
    CHILD Mother, what was ‘Israel’ ?
    MOTHER Israel was a colonial concept by European Zionists whereby they said the native population did not exist and only Zionist Jews had rights.
    CHILD Why did it fail? Why did are we now part of Egypt?
    MOTHER The Zionists could only stay in power because the United States of America helped them with weapons and influence. The USA could stop the United Nations from taking action against Israel because in those days the USA was an empire.
    When the USA was no longer able to help the Zionists they had to start negotiating with their Arab neighbours and so they had to give up land to Egypt, to Syria and Jordan. They also had to give back land to the Palestinian natives.
    CHILD Was that a bad thing?
    MOTHER Not really – we are Jews and we live here quite peacefully with our Arab neighbours, Christian and Muslim as well as other Jews. People did that for hundreds of years under the Ottomans, the Byzantines too.
    CHILD So Great Aunt Gaby really was full of shit?
    MOTHER I am afraid so my dear.
