"The Ottoman census takers had the population about equally Jewish and Arab about the turn of the century. But I have already addressed this in another post..." False, and you know it. I find it extremely deceitful of you for even trying such subterfuge. By distorting the percentage of Arabs and Jews in Palestine in 1900, you are attempting to hide the fact Ethnic Cleansing carried out by the Zionist in the last several decades. You are clearly a Zionist apologist and propagandist? Here are the facts. In l917 the English Balfour declaration (a pro-Zionist British document) census put the population of Israel proper at 670,000 Palestinian Arabs and 60 Jews. The English census was accurate and if anything it exaggerated the numbers of Jews in Palestine to justify the intent Balfour declaration. The Jews were nine percent of the population, a very small minority in a predominate Palestinian Arab population. In 1898,(the year the Zionist began their colonization and invasion of Palestine) the percentage of Jews in Palestine was much less. Through a pre-meditated process of Ethnically Cleansing Palestine of Palestinians, the Zionist Jews established their fascist Jewish state. A MOVEMENT WHICH MADE FALSE PROMISES OF EQUAL TREATMENT (Taken from the The Fraud of Zionism by Wibur Sensor) The false promises of equal treatment for the Arabs are to be found in the Balfour declaration itself. This declaration was produced by many hands over many months with deception as its deliberate objective. "This too, memorable document is not so much a sentence of English as a verbal mosaic. Drafts for it traveled back and forth, within England or over the Ocean, to be scrutinized by some two score draftsmen half co-operating, half competing with one another, who erased this phrase or adopted that after much thought. At long last, out of the store of their rejections and of their acceptances the final miscellany was chosen, ratified and fixed. There never has been a proclamation longer prepared, more carefully produced, more consciously worded." Whatever is to be found in the Balfour Declaration was put into it deliberately. There are no accidents in that text. If there is any vagueness in it this is an intentional vagueness. "....this nationally issued and nationally endorsed document was nothing but a calmly planned piece of deception." (Palestine: The Reality, J.M.N. Jeffries, pp.) The entire Balfour Declaration cannot here be analyzed. A few illustrations of its deceptive character will suffice. "...it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious nights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine..." "At the time of the Balfour Declaration the population of Palestine was 90% Arab and 10% Jew. "Before this unpalatable reality, what did the framers of the Balfour Declaration do? By an altogether abject subterfuge, under colour of protecting Arab interests, they set out to conceal the fact that the Arabs to all intents constituted the population of the country. It called them the 'non-Jewish communities in Palestine'! It called the multitude the non-few; it called the 670,000 the non-60,000; out of a hundred it called the 91 the non-9. You might just as well call the British people 'the non-Continental communities in Great Britain'. It would be as suitable to define the mass of working men as 'the non-idling communities in the world,' or the healthy as the "non-bedridden elements amongst sleepers,' or the sane as 'the non-lunatic section of thinkers' - or the grass of the countryside as 'the non-dandelion portion of the pastures'." (ibid, pp. 177-178.) THE ISRAELI ETHNIC CLEANSING VERSUS THE SERBIAN ETHNIC CLEANSING IN KOSOVO---the US supports and finances Ethnic cleansing in Israel but oppose Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Why the double standard?
