1. they would have needed outside help really quick, otherwise there is a good chance they would have been wiped out, had extremists ruled the day on the arab side, a fairly likely scenario i think but you never know for sure
Well thank you for that approach to honesty. I think we both know that help would have been no more forthcoming to them than it had been three years earlier to their fellow Jews in Poland and Hungary...let's not go all coy with "had extremists ruled the day on the arab side", shall we? Who else was there but extremists? The stated aim of the Arab armies was genocide, "the greatest slaughter since the Crusades" was how they put it, and the Mufti was a Nazi and had been an eager participant in Hitler's Final Solution.
Given those circumstances, well known to all sides, any solution that comes closest to fairness for all sides would get my approval is a pathetic cop-out, and you know it perfectly well!
The Zionists would have been slaughtered, and since you have done nothing but enumerate all the "crimes" they committed in building a nation in Palestine, one can only suppose that you would not have mourned too greatly to see their "crimes" get punished. You have certainly given no suggestion that you were glad they won in 1948! Not that you would actively approved the slaughter of the Zionists. No, you would have let others do it, and disapproved quietly, after the fact.
Dead Jews get sympathy. It's the live ones who fight back that are always hated. |
