Wikipedia has no entry referencing the Haycraft commission. While there are lots of online sites which deal with the Haycraft commission it appears there are none which aren't affiliated with one side or the other:

Your "Palestine Facts" website is Zionist propaganda. If you want to use Wikipedia or some neutral website

I'm not sure why you find it so amazing that Arabs fought back as Zionists encroached in the 1920's. My point has always been that the Zionists should not have been there provoking the situation, and that it is they who started terrorist organizations.

Hmm, if you consider the very presence of Jews a provocation, I would admit they were provocative.

They had no real right to be there.

They had no right to be anywhere apparently. They were widely persecuted in Europe at the time. And the traditional emigration havens were shut down in the early 1900's. The Evian conference made the refusal to take Jewish refugees threatened with extinction official.

I should mention that among the places Jews still don't have a right to live is the Arab countries where they'd lived for thousands of years prior to the 20th century - they passed laws ending their citizenship which is why Israel's population is now half composed of Jews from those countries.

I think what happened to the Native Americans is deplorable, but it is finished. The entire world's safety and security do not rest upon it. The problems in Israel may well take down the entire planet. They are ongoing.

Ah, sounds like the Indians should begin a campaign of terrorism - then their situation would not be finished either and if the terror threat they mounted were threatening enough...well, we'd just have to leave.

At the same time, there are many safe places where all the Israelis could go and live, so that the Arabs could return to the homes that were confiscated by the Zionists in Palestine.

Is Eurasia full? Plenty of Muslims have been emigrating there in the last few decades so it must not be.

I continue to think the failure of anti-zionist folks to acknowledge the "perfect storm" of persecution which swept over the Jews in the 20th century and created the Zionist movement and the state of Israel, is a matter of willful blindness.
