Re: IMO, permitting Jews to resettle in Palestine is no different than the British permitting the Hashemites to resettle in Iraq and Jordan (and almost Syria) at the time..
If people are going to complain about Israeli "occupation" and Zionism, then why aren't they applying the same degree of effort towards Hashemite imperialism?
You are not serious, are you? The Hashemites are merely a bunch of royals --it's a royal family, that is, there weren't millions of them poised to grab the land of, and expell the natives of Jordan, Syria,... Clue:

Now, if you want to make a comparison that's not foolish, compare the Hashemite dynasty with Belgium's Saxe-Cobourgs. When Britain, Prussia and Austria-Hungary, upon recognizing the new Belgian state in 1830, picked Leopold de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha as the kingdom's first king, they didn't call for expelling Belgium's inhabitants and making room for Germans!! They merely chose a Protestant aristocratic family to rule over a Catholic country (Leopold II is said to have converted to Catholicism).
Contrariwise, Zionism and the contrivance of Israel are not --and never were-- merely about subordinating Palestine's natives to a Jewish ruling class or family. It was an ethnic-cleansing scheme and a colonialist aggression that aimed at getting rid of the natives....
