Ted Re...1947 was a very good year.......lots of meaningful events. However, the real action was in 1948 when Israel became independent.<
While the military action heated up in 1948, the votes on the partitioning of the mandate, and whether Palestine was offered statehood happened in 1947. Your contention that Palestine was never offered statehood doesn't hold up.
Harry, you are working to hard to win. I never contended that the Palestinians weren't offered statehood. What I did contend is that they didn't like the offer.
You tried to explain that awasy by saying that the deal wasn't fair. Fair or not, the Palestinians were offered statehood in 1947 in the partition plan offered by Britian.
And they didn't like the offer. Do you think it was a fair offer?
May, I count 30 references to the Zionist Armies or ethnic cleansing......I marked them with double ** [see below]. Please note that the year was less than 6 months old.
And up to that time in 1948, I see 8 references to the arab side fighting or arming. What is the point?
It was your point, not mine. You contended that armed preparations and ethnic cleansing were minor issues. My contention was that they were not. I proved my contention by pointing out all the references.
This discussion started with your contention Palestine was never offered statehood.
Wrong. I have contended that since the initial offer, there has not been an opportunity for the Palestinians to have their own state. Its been withheld by the Israelis. And you know that's true since you've been diligently following the history.
Now you are drifting into the battles which occured at the time of the British relinquishing conrol.
No, you were the one who "drifted into the battles".
I never said the Zionists were angels.
Ahhhh, now we are getting at the truth. That's been my contention for months.
By the same token, neither were the Palestinians and their arab neighbors.<
Never said they were....however, its the Israelis who unfairly hold all the cards.
It is interesting that you cut the datelines off on May 13, especially when the most of the rest of the yrs. datelines concern the invasions of Palestines allies into the war.
Nothing intentional about that........it was late and I was tired of counting. <g>
