>Albert, which victims...........the Israelis or the Palestinians? Who are the Palestinians victims of, Ted? Z, circumstances? Zionist Jews began to move to Palestine early in the 20th Century. By the 30's they made up 16% of the population, the rest were mostly Muslim Arabs and some Christians. As the Zionist bought land, the Palestinian farmers/sheep herders were forced out. In addition, hostilities increased between the incoming Zionists and the indigenous Palestinians; forcing the exodus of over 100k Palestinians in the mid 30's. They fled to neighboring Arab states. By 1947, the UK and US felt some guilt over turning their backs on the Jews during the Holocaust so they agreed to carve out a piece of land from the UN trust that the UK was responsible for and where 1,000,000 Palestinians still lived. Earlier in the decade, Ben Gurion and his committee had determined the best way to handle the Arab/Jew intermixing was to establish an Arab transfer out of what was to become the Jewish state. This Zionist policy coupled with considerable hostilities in the late 1940's forced many of the Palestinians out of Israel. Stateless, they ended up as refugees in camps in the WB and neighboring Arab countries. Now, it seems to me the Palestinians got slightly screwed.......but then again, call me crazy. ted
