I see you are all over SI posting the pro-Israeli stance only, and you clearly call yourself a ZIONIST in your profile. Maybe
my observation about Israel being a bully cut a little to close to the truth for you.
I don't like bullies. If Israel is behaving as a bully, as it is now, then I'll say it.
I don't support Islamic terrorists - nice try.
You don't seem to have a valid argument at all her - so you attack me.
Why don't you put your blinders on, and keep spouting the pro-Israeli line - no matter how many other countries and groups diagree with you as we see what is going on right now.

The struggle for Palestine
With the defeat and dismantlement of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, and the establishment of the British Mandate over Palestine by the League of Nations in 1922, the Zionist movement entered a new phase of activity. Its priorities were the escalation of Jewish settlement in Palestine, the building of the institutional foundations of a Jewish state, raising funds for these purposes, and persuading — or forcing — the British authorities not to take any steps which would lead to Palestine moving towards independence as an Arab-majority state. The 1920s did see a steady growth in the Jewish population and the construction of state-like Jewish institutions, but also saw the emergence of Palestinian Arab nationalism and growing resistance to Jewish immigration.
International Jewish opinion remained divided on the merits of the Zionist project. While many Jews in Europe and the United States argued that a Jewish homeland was not needed because Jews were able to live in the democratic countries of the West as equal citizens, others supported Zionism. |
