I've discussed this subject many times. And between 1833 and the Zionist migration, there were no major incidence of violence between the two groups.Still no discussion?
Arab pogroms before Zionism are indeed a touchy subject, no anti-Israel poster dares to discuss.
The Hebron massacre was started by Zionists going down to the Wailing Wall and declaring it "theirs".Oh now I get it. Before them damn Zionists took over the land in 1948 , the Palestinians & the Jews got along just fine. Gee whiz. You sure are smart, right?

You declared independence over 70% of the land where you were only 10% of the population.Not national rights.
Those were given to Arabs in the rest 99.9% of the land in the middle east.
They just can't fathom the fact that Israel is the only nation that managed to get
independent from the Arab empire.
That's not a right, that's a privilege.You don't have a right to drive until You're licensed.
And there's no getting around the fact that there is an existing, indigenous, non-Jewish population in that area and they have rights. Rights you cannot take away.RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
※→ Billo_Really,
OK, we are talking about a time before 1949 (the year of the Armistice) ⇔ (≈ seven decades ago); overlapping the period of the Palestinian Black Hand by a former Islamic Chaplin (Ottoman Army) trying to organize an Irregular Resistance Force to fight against Mandate Authority. Izz ad=Din a-Qassam petitioned and received a fatwa from the Islamic Mufti of Damascus, ruling that it is permissible to kill the British and Jews.
(COMMENT)As long as it didn't disenfranchise the inalienable rights of the existing, non-Jewish population of that area. There is no getting around the fact the indigenous Arab population in Palestine has rights. Land rights. Land rights Zionists took away with their terrorist groups like Irgun.Then the idea of an Arab state in Palestine is irrelevant.
The Jewish nation was specifically mentioned as rightful sovereign.
That is something Israeli posters will not read or discuss.
You can cry, bitch and moan all you want about what happened between the time of the Great War thru WWII and up to the Armistice of 1949. That will not change a thing - or - shed any light on helpful hints as to a possible solution on the conflict.
Arguing which side had the better terrorist organization (Black Hand vs Irgun) is pointless. It has no relevance to the problem at hand.

There were several pogroms against Palestinian Jews.I've discussed this subject many times. And between 1833 and the Zionist migration, there were no major incidence of violence between the two groups.Still no discussion?
Arab pogroms before Zionism are indeed a touchy subject, no anti-Israel poster dares to discuss.
Your math is incorrect.You declared independence over 70% of the land where you were only 10% of the population.Not national rights.
Those were given to Arabs in the rest 99.9% of the land in the middle east.
They just can't fathom the fact that Israel is the only nation that managed to get
independent from the Arab empire.
(COMMENT)And there's no getting around the fact that there is an existing, indigenous, non-Jewish population in that area and they have rights. Rights you cannot take away.
So, what do the Palestinians expect to be given by Israel?RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss

I'm beginning to think that the pro-Arab Palestinians have little understanding of "Rights." I don't think they understadthe difference between "Positive Rights" - "Negative Rights," and "Obligations."
In the most general sense, "Rights" can be loosely defined as an entitlement for the Arab Palestinian.
Negative Rights (an entity is required not to obstruct the right of another from execution)
RIGHT ⇔ ENTITLEMENT
The equivelency!
.....................................(A negative right protects an entity from harm if they try to secure something.)
Positive Rights (obliges action, some entity is required to take an action)
.....................................(A positive right would be the right to have something provided.)
Philosophers and political scientists make a distinction between negative and positive rights (not to be confused with the distinction between negative and positive liberties). According to this view, positive rights usually oblige action, whereas negative rights usually oblige inaction. These obligations may be of either a legal or moral character.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights
The issue of rights is a double-edged sword.
Israel has secured effective control of the West Bank. During the Oslo Accords, it was agreed that the Arab Palestians would Area "A" and the Israelis would have Area "C."
Similarly:
• The Arab Palestinians have the "Negative Right" not to be obstructed (by the Israelis) in their political pursuits and control over Area "A."
• The Israelis have the "Negative Right" not to be obstructed (by the Arab Palestinians) in their political pursuits and control over Area "C" and Sovereign Israeli Territory.
• The Arab Palestinians DO NOT have the "Positive Right" that requires Israel to provide territory to the Arab Palestinians that has not been mutually agreed upon by the two parties.
• The Israelis DO NOT have the "Positive Right" that requires Arab Palestinians to provide anything to the Israelis that has not been mutually agreed upon by the two parties.
I think that, at least for the Arab Palestinians, the "Rights" argument is a loser.

This is a question you should be able to answer.
(COMMENT)So, what do the Palestinians expect to be given by Israel?
• One of the first and most obvious is that you, and many others, use the argument that the Israelis should leave certain areas under either Effective or Sovereign Israeli Control. You particularly, have claimed that the Israelis are foreign invaders.
• Another common claim is that the Arab Palestinians have the "Right-of-Return" (RoR). At the very moment, the boundary along the Gaza Strip has several thousand protesters trying to breach the boundary and invade territoryunder the Sovereign control of Israel.
In both cases (supra):
The Israelis have the "Negative Right" not to be obstructed (by the Arab Palestinians) in their political pursuits and control over Sovereign Israeli Territory.
The Arab Palestinians DO NOT have the "Positive Right" that requires Israel to provide territory to the Arab Palestinians that is under the control as Sovereign Israeli Territory.
I know ... I know ... the most common of claims the Arab Palestinians put forth are the:
• UN General Assembly Resolution 194, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
A General Assembly is NOT binding law.• Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- Law Library -
The General Assembly is composed of representatives from all of the 193 member states. As a deliberative body, they discuss matters, mainly relating to budgetary issues, and then make recommendations on these issues. It is widely established that General Assembly determinations ‘do not impose themselves upon the Court’2. Byrne & McCutcheon notes that the General Assembly ‘has no power to compel action by any government, but its recommendations carry political weight’3.Whilst these recommendations are not binding on UN members, they can quite often lead to the development of International Law. A good example of this is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was a resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1948. As a resolution of the General Assembly, this declaration was not binding on any of the UN members; however the declaration was accepted over time as custom, and thus became International Law.
C. Impact of the Universal Declaration (Oxford Public International Law)
13 Formally, a declaration of the UNGA is not binding on Member States, but the broad international acceptance of the UDHR over the last 60 years has given its principles some legal status.
So, let's cancel those to arguments right out of the gate. What do you have besides that?

UN Resolution 194 did not make law. It did reference already established international law. Israel is not "giving" the Palestinians anything by allowing them to return to their homes.Byrne & McCutcheon notes that the General Assembly ‘has no power to compel action by any government, but its recommendations carry political weight’3.Whilst these recommendations are not binding on UN members, they can quite often lead to the development of International Law.
