There are a lot of important and obvious points made in the linked document. Islamic ideology has all the elements of fascism as the ideology presumes the superiority of Moslems while vilifying the kuffar. The "apartheid" slogan is a representation of the rage and humiliation felt by Moslems who have a religiously defined revulsion for Jews and Christians. Moslems remain mired in failure and are backward compared to so much of the developed world.
Ottoman land records give no credence to claims made by Pally Arab squatters as to owning land they occupy as so much of the Ottoman controlled territory was actually owned by absentee landowners in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt.
The myth of "occupied Pally territory" is dismantled by the Ottoman land records.

Is Israel the victim of a concerted vilification campaign waged against it by genocidal and totalitarian movements? This is the question that David Meir-Levi seeks to address in his provocative and polemical work, History Turned Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression.
Meir-Levi contends that the contemporary Arab-Israeli dispute is not a modern, political phenomenon, but rather is an existential one that dates back to the Arab-Islamic conquest. He asserts that the traditional, Islamic anti-Semitism of the Middle East has undergone a transformation under the influence of Nazi, and then Communist, ideology to create today’s radical genocidal movements. The author shows that groups such as Hamas and al-Qaeda are the progeny of this historical process, and insists that they are dedicated not merely to the destruction of the Zionist state, but the complete annihilation of its Jewish inhabitants as well.
