When do you think that happened?Before Ashkelon there existed
"The Arab village of al-Majdal or al-Majdal Ascalun(Arabic: المجدل*; Hebrew: אל-מג'דל, מגדל*), was established nearby the ancient site in the 16th century, under Ottoman's rule. In 1918, the Arab village of al-Majdal (Ashkelon) became part of the British Occupied Enemy Territory Administration and in 1920 became part of the Mandatory Palestine. In the 1948 ArabIsraeli War, al-Majdal Ascalun was the forward position of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force based in Gaza.[2]
"The village was occupied by Israeli forces on 5 November 1948, by which time most of the Arab population of 11,000 were forced to leave.[3]
"Jews moved into the area later that year.
"The Israeli town was initially called Migdal Gaza, Migdal Gad and Migdal Ashkelon. In 1953, the nearby neighborhood of Afridar was incorporated and the name 'Ashkelon' was readopted to the town.
"By 1961, Ashkelon was ranked 18th among Israeli urban centers with a population of 24,000.[4] In 2010, the population of Ashkelon was 112,900.[5]"

When you take another's land by force of arms, don't whine about sirens in the night.
How do you think that the Arabs got there to begin with?
By taking the land from Israelites and forcing them to move.
"he Arab village of Majdal was mentioned by historians and tourists at the end of the 15th century.[16] In 1596, Ottoman records showed Majdal to be a large village of 559 Muslim households, making it the 7th most populous locality in Palestine after Safad, Jerusalem, Gaza, Nablus, Hebron and Kafr Kanna.[17][18]
The census of 1931 found 6,166 Muslims and 41 Christians living there.[19] By 1948, the population had grown to about 11,000."

Why are Jews alone, among all nations, allowed to steal land their ancestors conquered thousands of years ago?
I'm starting to think division is not the solution in Israel-Palestine.I don't justify ethnic cleansing of Jew or Arab:My own family was expelled from their house in 1936. Their land was burned and they were forced to leave their inheritence, by Palestinians.
So if you're looking for simpathy, you're not going to get it from me, on this one.
And the children of Sderot have nothing to do with Al-Majdal or whatever name the Palestinians gave the city of Ashkelon.
Only thing they know is that they are attacked in the name of a Palestinian so called "resistance", even though they never harmed anyone!
And people like YOU justify it!
"During the 1948 war, the Egyptian army occupied a large part of Gaza including Majdal.
"Over the next few months, the town was subjected to Israeli air-raids and shelling.[3] All but about 1,000 of the town's residents were forced to leave by the time it was captured by Israeli forces as a sequel to Operation Yoav on 4 November 1948.[3]
"General Yigal Allon ordered the expulsion of the remaining Palestinians but the local commanders did not do so and the Arab population soon recovered to more than 2,500 due mostly to refugees slipping back and also due to the transfer of Palestinians from nearby villages.[3][16]
"Most of them were elderly, women, or children.[16]
"During the next year or so, the Palestinians were held in a confined area surrounded by barbed wire, which became commonly known as the 'ghetto'"

You don't justify it, but your response to the war-crime committed against civilians is pointed out that a bad thing happened almost 70 years ago.
Yeah, of course.
Can you point to a time when Jew and Arab have warred against one another to the same extent as the last 96 years?When do you think that happened?How do you think that the Arabs got there to begin with?
By taking the land from Israelites and forcing them to move.

Why are Jews alone, among all nations, allowed to steal land their ancestors conquered thousands of years ago?
Because they had been hunted down and slaughtered, enslaved and treated like animals in all nations that they had fled to after the Arabs took over their homeland, for those thousands of years. Every nation that they fled to tried to wipe them off the face of the earth as a group of people.
They were allowed to go back to their homeland because they deserved to exist just like any other ethnic group deserves to exist.
Not a justification, an explanation.mhhhhm
Zionists have been holding themselves to a different standard since their colonization of Palestine first began. Some Jews recognize the basic inhumanity inherent in such hypocrisy and reject it:So the author gives her APPROVAL of Arab prejudice and racism against Jews, in a classic illustration of 'apologtics'.
And Georgie accepts that as right, and fitting. He'll pretend that the 'explanation' is not 'endorsement'.... while holding Jews to a different standard.

But palistanians didn't - they still dream of taking them over, of course.You forgot the Jewish floors...In 559 palatial abodes with marble floors and japanese fridges, of course.The Arab village of al-Majdal ... The census of 1931 found 6,166 Muslims and 41 Christians living there ..."
How so, if palistanians have a state of their own? Ahhh, it's a disfunctional, basket-case failed state with salaries of state employees paid fully by international donors. A politically incorrect thing to admit publicly, hence, a one-sate solution drivel to disguise that old palistanian dream to try and wreck Israel through flooding and abuse of the israeli institutions, the social security in particular, of course. 10 wives, one registered, nine aren't, single moms getting checks, bilking the system on their ever-growing number of children. Daddy enjoys a living. Kewl."Those who are opposed to a shared, democratic state sometimes cite security as a reason that Israel must remain a Jewish-majority state. But a one-state solution would privilege the security of every individual rather than that of an individual religious (and/or ethnic) group.
Why not?"But why?"
It's way complicated, like rocket science, for those living in occupied bankrupt state of California, of course. They've got to go to skool first.Tell us why, Drivel?
But definitely economic complications would be resolved if occupied California residents were driveling less and working more, of course.Possibly California's economic complications would be resolved if the US stopped supportiing racist Jews living in the Occupied Territories?

Do you never tire of being wrong?Awwww, isn't it cute? Poor little Georgie is all worried about how the State of California spends its money - tax money which he not only doesn't contribute to, but sucks up instead.
Who cares, as long as occupied Caliphorniah spends about $10 bln. annually on support of mexicans, the state is all set, of course.Do you never tire of being wrong? "The sales and use tax rates vary depending on your retail location. A base sales and use tax rate of 7.50 percent is applied statewide. In addition to the statewide sales and use tax rate, some cities and counties have voter- or local government-approved district taxes. District tax areas consist of both counties and cities. There may also be more than one district tax in effect in a specific location. More than three-fourths of all businesses in the state are located, or do business, in areas with a district tax."Awwww, isn't it cute?
