<If you look back at the history of Palestine, especially the West Bank, after it was captured from the Turks, you'll find that the British intended to permit Jewish settlement in all of Trans-Jordan, the territory that included Israel, the West Bank, and present day Jordan.> that actuallly just adds fuel to the issue in that an imperial colonialist power Britain was arbitarily making the decisions--it is this aspect that that has opened up the charges that Israel was riding the coat-tails of British colonialism.
I myself see only tragedy on all sides--the prime event of the Israel movement was the 2nd Exodus--and what fueled that exodus? A people FLEEING ABSOLUTE HORROR--the horror of Europe that had decided the only good jew is a dead jew.
I ask where does the central/fundamental guilt stand,with Europe or with Palestine?--the answer,with europe,europe,europe,europe.Max
