Hebron, Palestinian Territories - Hitler, Castro and Saddam Hussein meet in a bar. It may sound like the beginning of a joke, but in the Palestinian territories, it is actually possible.

After reading some of the letters to The Nation by readers, including one headlined “Castro a devil to some, a saint to others”, I would like to share a proverb in the Spanish language: “There isn’t a person more blind than one who doesn’t want to see”.
