The Gun and the Olive Branch: The Roots of Violence in the Middle East is the best book on the subject of Israel and the Palestinians.
A previous poster regurgitated the Zionist propaganda.
First of all, the Zionists are the ones that attacked, you can't declare that land that doesn't belong to you is suddenly yours. But the thing your Zionist propaganda ignores is that Zionists were already on the offensive in 1947, so the constant claim that Israel was declared and then it was attacked is pure propagnada
This is a critical fact often omitted when the history is presented and this leads to a very distorted view of what happened in 1948. The misleading story often told is that "Jews declared Israel and then they were attacked." The fact is from November 1947 to May 1948 the Zionists were already on the offensive and had already attacked Arabs. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had driven 300,000 non-Jews off their land. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had seized land beyond the proposed Jewish State.
The degree of dishonesty and manipulation that the Zionists are responsible for is incredible.
It really is an insult to the American people for American Jewish Zionists to constantly push lies in public forums. Zionists can not respect their fellow citizens for them to lie to us about the reality of Israel the danger that US support creates for Americans
Fact is, and you can read about it in the book I mentioned, your claim is absurd. as is your claim "Meanwhile, the Palestinians forgot to ask Jordan and Egypt, who controlled the West Bank and Gaza respectively, for their own state. "
Are you a total ignorant Zionist fanatic? The PLO was formed in 1964 and they called for the liberation of Palestine. Jesus Christ, Article 2. of the PLO CHarter says explicitly "Palestine with its boundaries at the time of the British Mandate is a regional indivisible unit. "
Got that? That includeds the land that Jordan and Egypt controlled. Your constant attempts to make people think the only problem the Palestinians have is that it was Jews and not some other people who stole their land is ludicrous.
You disgustingly keep trying to claim that Palestinians wouldn't mind and didn't mind if their rights were violated by non-Jews. You sick bastards exploit the concept of anti-Semitism and constantly allege.
You guys really are vulgar and your propaganda is unreal. The fact is Jordan had an agreement with Israel in 1948 in order to prevent a Palestinian state. Palestinians were not happy with how Jordan treated them. In 1951 a Palestians assassinated the King of Jordan.
To read the constant propaganda of Zionists that they are victims is unbearable. By the way, accepting the UN partition proposal clearly would not have been the end to the Zionist land theft. The Zionists continued their theft of Palestinian land AFTER 1948. ALSO see the facts in Cheryl A. Rubenberg's book thousands of non-Jews who didn't leave and yet still had their homes and land stolen? In the first 8 years, the Jewish State took away a staggering 50% of all the land owned by Palestinians remaining in Israel. The shocking fact is some 39,000 Palestinians who never left were robbed anyway! "Israel seized property and land from some 39,000 Palestinians who escaped expulsion and remained in Israel. It was never retuned, and these individuals never received compensation although they are citizens of Israel." (see endnote 67 The Palestinians: In Search of a Just Peace by Cheryl A. Rubenberg ) go to this link:
Palestinians were pushed off their land because the racist Zionists deemed them the "wrong" religion.
Israel was accepted into the United Nations on condition that it accept the Right of Return of the Palestinian refugees. Israel stated it agreed to comply with the Right of Return but after it got itself into the UN it refused to honor it. (another example of the devious and outrageous actions of the "Jewish State".) [another example that Americans are ignorant of]
And what about the thousands of non-Jews who didn't leave and yet still had their homes and land stolen? In the first 8 years, the Jewish State took away a staggering 50% of all the land owned by Palestinians remaining in Israel. The shocking fact is some 39,000 Palestinians who never left were robbed anyway! "Israel seized property and land from some 39,000 Palestinians who escaped expulsion and remained in Israel. It was never retuned, and these individuals never received compensation although they are citizens of Israel." (see endnote 67 The Palestinians: In Search of a Just Peace by Cheryl A. Rubenberg )
