I grew up hearing a lot about the Holocaust from my Jewish father and Grandparents...I felt sympathy and admiration for Jews.
However when I visited Israel a couple of times and read about it's History my feelings changed.
I didn't realise that Jewish Immigrants from Europe had illegally (during the British Mandate) invaded this Arab land of Palestine as it was known and took it by force from the local Palestinians.
And that these Immigrants then started a terrorist campaign against the British rulers committing numerous atrocities. Including the Bombing of the British HQ at the King David Hotel Killing over 90 innocent people. The perpetrator, Menachem Begin went on to become the Prime Minister of the renamed land of Palestine ( Israel)
Numerous other known Jewish Terrorist or Persecutors who sanctioned the murder and Ethnic Cleansing of 1000's of Palestinians were elected to office....Ben Gurion, Gold Meir, Yitzhak Shamir and the Infamous Ariel Sharon who sanctioned the Murder of over 3000 Palestinian, mostly women and children in a Lebanese Palestine Refugee Camp.
Virtually all Jewish towns and villages were formerly Palestinian....
Now the Palestinians are asking for only 22% of their Homeland back and the Israelis get to keep 78%..
But they don't Even want to give them that and have allowed dozens of Jewish Fortress settlements to be built in the West bank and Gaza....With 27 Jew only Roads and a Berlin Type Wall to cut off Palestinians from their Work, Hospitals and Schools...
I think we should have sympathy for Atrocities against Jews but at the same time we must equally feel sympathy for Black people, Irish, Aboriginals, Armenians, Native Americans, Indians and other victims of Persecution, Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide in recent History.....None of these were handed a country on a silver plate as compensation for their suffering
The Israeli Jews do harm to the Jewish community of the world....By behaving like the German Nazis who Persecuted them 60-70 years ago...
Europeans are accused of standing by and doing nothing to stop Genocide of the Jews, Gypsies, Gays and Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi Germany.
They should also not stand by and watch Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians by Israel and Potential Planned Genocide.
