>Before l917 the Jews were a tiny percentage of the population of Palestine--(maybe 10,000)! The Jews who colonized Palestine after l917 came mostly from Russia and Eastern Europe (Khazar Jews who converted in the ninth century and really have no biblical (heirs of Abraham) claim to Palestine in the first place), and Europe. After WWII, many Sephardic Jews also colonized Palestine.
You seem to be missing the point. I don't care who thinks they have a divine right to the land... England owned that land, England declared itself ready to give it to the Jews in 1917, and in 1948 the UN gave it a quarter of that land, and the Jews were happy. They went there because they felt they had nowhere to go. They were getting massacred all over Europe, Africa, and Asia, and nobody wanted them. They went to Palestine because it was their best option. Oh, and Jews were in eastern Europe long before the 9th century.
For all who have no idea what Emile's talking about, the Khazar Kingdom was a small kingdom that, as legend has it (and there really isn't much evidence that it really happened) converted to Judaism when the king decided to call in representatives of all of the major religions in the area to make a case for their religions, and after listening to all of them, decided to convert his kingdom to Judaism.
>The Palestinians and other Arabs were indigenous to this area and not colonialists as were the Zionist Jews. In l917, there were more than 600,000 Palestinians living in what is Israel/Palestine today. Through a process of ethnic cleansing and brutality, the Zionist colonizers created a Jewish majority. This was clearly part of the original Zionist blueprint developed by Herzl and others at the beginning of the twentieth century.
There was no "ethnic cleansing". Shortly before Israel was given its independence, Arab leaders told the Palestinians to get out of the Jewish towns because they were going to wipe out the Jews. The plan was that once they did that, the Palestinians would be able to go back. Well, the Arabs didn't win, did they?
>Finally, England's mandate over Palestine and Jordan did not give them the right to dispose of land that was owned by the Palestinian people. Ninety percent of land in Israel proper was illegally confiscated when Israel declared independence. This land was set aside after 48 in a special trust where only Jews can use the land. So much for Israel's so-called democracy!
Special trust? Huh? That's actually a new one.
Oh... let's look at how credible you are... let's look at your profile, shall we? Hum de dum... Let's see your quote: "Howbeit no man spake of him(Jesus) openly for fear of the Jews. (John 7:13)--Neither is there salvation in any other name:..no other name,..under heaven..whereby we must be saved. (Acts Ch.4:12)"
Oh, an anti-semite, eh?
How 'bout your posts:
"Brutality of Israel's occupation against the Christian communities of Ramallah..."
"A Jews conscience raises her voice against Israel's occupation of Palestinian ..."
"Israel targets peaceful UN facilities:..."
"Bush gives ultimatum to Israel:..."
"CAMP DAVID--the myth of "Israel's generous offer"! ..."
Oh, and the best one:
"911 Was a Mossad False Flag Operation..."
Go away, scumbag.
