It was all one country, why shouldn't people move from one part to another, people have always done that for a number of reasons, and to hell with the arbitrary lines drawn by the various conquerors ... ask the next obviously indigenous spanish speaker you run into, what significance he finds in the way they change around the placement of coloured bits on maps, he may say ¡todavía es México! just for fun, but what he means is this is the continent of his forefathers, and he has a right
Damn right arabs had shorter distance to travel, this would be because they were not coming from across the sea, from another continent like the zionists, but from a valley or two over, if indeed they had to travel at all, and hadn't simply been born there
'that increase has been as much Arab as Jewish' - no it has not, the proportion of jews in the population has risen enormously, from ten per cent or less in the 1880-1920 period, to over fifty per cent now [using rough figures from memory, for all Palestine from Jordan to the sea] ... this sort of trend is bound to raise concerns among a primitive people in chains to a whacko religion, even if the invaders weren't bulldozing their homes and olive trees, which they happen to be doing in this case
It was not an empty land, but there was room for new people to move and develop the place, sure, no one disputes that .... the zionists brought hard currencies, sharper technology, and more organised ways of going about things, all very well and good .... the problem is, at the centre of their whole ideology was a change that threatened the indigenous, this declaration of the place as a Judenstaat, under which the people of their whacko religion would have rights exceeding those of the people of the other whacko religion
Well, you should be able to see how that could change the dynamic .... the whole idea is deadly to human progress, it's tribalistic racist witch-doctor nonsense that didn't belong in the nineteenth century much less the twentieth or the present one .... you just don't base working nations on this kind of narrow hostile stuff, you need a Menschenstaat not a Whackenstaat.
