Middle East 101

[Sally]

What Zionist invasion?

"[ Summary: This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah, appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

"In the article, titled 'As the Arabs See the Jews', King Abdullah disputes the mistaken view that Arab opposition to Zionism (and later the state of Israel) is because of longstanding religious or ethnic hatred.

"He notes that Jews and Muslims enjoyed a long history of peaceful coexistence in the Middle East, and that Jews have historically suffered far more at the hands of Christian Europe."

Maybe the King should have spoken to some of the Middle Eastern Jews himself for their views on how the Arabs treated them.

The fact that Europe oppressed and persecuted its Jews does not mean the Arab/Muslim world did not do the same. Hell, just look at how those "peaceful" Arab/Muslims treat each other. The world decided it was best to find a place where those who were persecuted for centuries could find a home.

By the world, I assume you mean Lords Balfour and Rothschild?
"His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,.."

Nah, you mean Jews are so special they can steal Arab land and water and call that home.
"Zionist reaction[edit]
Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, the principal Zionist leaders based in London, had asked for the reconstitution of Palestine as 'the' Jewish national home. As such, the declaration fell short of Zionist expectations."

The Jews have (for many more centuries than the Arabs) called that area home and, as already mentioned, the world decided it was time to recognize that fact. There was nothing illegal or immoral about Zionists petitioning the world for that recognition (unless one is a hateful Nazi slug).

In case you need it, GP, here's a list of states which do not recognize Israel's existence. You'll note that 29 of the 32 are either Arab League or OIC states with Bhutan, Cuba and N. Korea joining that evil empire:
"At present, a total of 32 United Nations member states do not recognise the State of Israel: 18 of the 22 members of the Arab League: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen; a further 11 members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan. Other countries which do not recognise Israel include Bhutan, Cuba, and North Korea."

Zionists were required to respect the rights of non-Jews living in Palestine, or perhaps that doesn't matter to the "chosen people?"

"Our case is quite simple: For nearly 2,000 years Palestine has been almost 100 per cent Arab. It is still preponderantly Arab today, in spite of enormous Jewish immigration. But if this immigration continues we shall soon be outnumbered --- minority in our home.

"Palestine is a small and very poor country, about the size of your state of Vermont. Its Arab population is only about 1,200,000. Already we have had forced on us, against our will, some 600,000 Zionist Jews. We are threatened with many hundreds of thousands more."

Jews are NOT that special, in spite of what you've been told.

"This was 1,815 years ago, and yet the Jews solemnly pretend they still own Palestine! If such fantasy were allowed, how the map of the world would dance about!

"Italians might claim England, which the Romans held so long.

"England might claim France, 'homeland' of the conquering Normans.

"And the French Normans might claim Norway, where their ancestors originated.

"And incidentally, we Arabs might claim Spain, which we held for 700 years."

Many Arabs weathered the war, stayed in Israel and became Israeli citizens. Israel's "peaceful" Arab neighbors were barred from interfering in her establishment but just couldn't resist the opportunity to try to make the desert red with Jewish blood.

Doesn't make one damned bit of difference.

The Jews now hold the Holy Land, and there's nothing that you or your side can do about it.

Not a damned thing.

The Reconquista - and mop-up operations - continue apace.

"As Amos Oz once said:

“The Jewish people has a great talent for self-destruction. We may be the world champions in self-destruction… [caused by] our characteristic demand for perfection, for totality, for squeezing our ideal to its last dregs or to die trying. [Look at] the history of the ancient Hebrews – they were suicidal by being extremely extremist and fanatical, by not compromising with reality.”

I sure hope you apply that Karma theory to the Palestinians 'cause they've been reapin' since 1948.
