Indeed, the natives and foreign colonial settlers inside Palestine.
Sure. Let's go with that. The trick is to determine which peoples are the natives and which are the foreign settlers.
You play a lovely double standard around that.Zionism emerged as a national movement in Eastern Europe in the 1880’s. Its founder, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a Hungarian Jew, dreamt of establishing a Jewish State in the land of Palestine, a dream which was to be realised through colonisation and land acquisition. According to Zionist archives, the leadership of early Zionism believed that the native population of Palestine, as a result of this colonisation, would simply “fold their tents and slip away” or, if they resisted, they would be “spirited across the borders”.
“…colonisation can continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population – an iron wall which the native population cannot break through…this is our policy towards the Arabs and to formulate it in any other way would be hypocrisy…The Jewish question can be solved either completely or it cannot be solved at all. We are in need of a territory where our people will constitute the overwhelming majority…and one must not be afraid of the word ‘segregation’ ”.
The Zionist Project - 1948
The Zionists called the "Arabs" the natives and called themselves colonialists.
You can't argue historical facts and events, which you seem hell bent on distorting, come what may.
Sold down the line.
The Morality of Jewish Sovereignty in the Land of Israel - Part Two - Blogs - Jerusalem Post
Every argument he uses states the Jewish State should not exist. He refers to the Armistice lines which were never respected or recognized by the Arabs in the first place.
I don't get the extent of his zealotry. And others like him.
One of my main motives for participating in such forums, was to really understand what drives antisemitism. This was during a time period when I was zealously critical of Israel as a result of a personal experience during war, which also lead to real life threats during work travel abroad. If You read my 1st post here, You'll see the long way I did - interacting with P F Tinmore and the likes actually made me into an unapologetically proud Zionist!
