The Arabs got Jordan in 47-48 and the Jews got Israel. That would have been the end of it, but the Arabs wanted everything. All the trouble since has been because of the Arabs have refused to accept Jewish autonomy in their ancestral homeland. The colonizers want to re-establish their colonial dominion over the Jews.
What colonizers? The Arabs were never colonizers in the MENA, only the Europeans were -- and they are not seeking to re-establish any colonial dominion.
The Arabs erupted out of the Arabian peninsula in 632 AD and conquered half the globe from Spain to Indonesia including the Roman colony of Palestine (Eretz Yisrael).
You can't seriously believe any event that old matters now. Not even a Jew, who thinks in terms of Exodus times, could believe that. No event before 1900 is relevant to any of this.
One can't deny that the creation of modern Israel is an example of an indigenous people rising up any throwing off their colonial oppressors. The Palestinian cause is simply the former colonizers wanting to turn back the clock and return to the state of affairs in Mandatory Palestine, where the Arabs were in control and the Jews were second-class citizens.
It was the exact opposite. It used the historical oppression of Jews and the horrors of the Holocaust as a cover in order to bring into being an ethno-nationalist state built on terrorism and ethnic cleansing. In 1947-1948, over 700,000 indigenous Palestinian people were expelled from their land! That was clearly done to create a "Jewish majority" of citizens. In 1947, as I said before, the Jewish population in Palestine was about 33% (and less than 10% in 1917). Expel over 700,000 of the 1.6 million Muslim and Christian Palestinian population in 1947-1948, and things change a lot in terms of the demographics.
The British were in control of Mandatory Palestine, and before that the Ottoman Turks controlled Palestine.
The Jewish population of Israel was swollen by them taking in Jewish refugees who had been ethnically cleansed from the other parts of the Middle East.
The Palestinians are the indigenous people and the Israelis are their colonial oppressors.
That’s the Arab rationalization for commiting genocide, but it’s unsupported by both history and archeology.
Of course it is, and by DNA too. There has never since the Stone Age been a period when Palestine/Canaan was uninhabited, and the Palestinians are descended from everybody who has ever lived there, Jews included.
Thank you for admitting that the Jews are not colonizers in Israel.
Most of the Jewish population is descended from immigrants from other countries, European or Middle Eastern.
The same can be said of most of the non-Israeli population in Gaza and Judea and Samaria. Most are descended from recent immigrants from Egypt, Jordan, Syria or Arabia. They speak Arabic and don’t have the same ties to the land the Jews do.
Hamas, what language do they speak? Seems like it would be Farsi. Lebanese? Hezbollah?
That is a lie, and you have been called on it before.
That is not a lie. Its a fact.
Origins:
Donald Trump is playing games with the lives of the remaining hostages and Israel’s future safety.
Well, if anyone puts all their eggs in one basket they are totally nuts. It's well known that Mr. T is a complete and utter nutter. I am just praying that we aren't all, yes including the great USA, blown to pieces with the total madmen that are running the world! So sad, it doesn't matter too much to me, I've had most of my life, and so if I have to go I will.........
The last American hostage has been released alive because of Trump.
