Does anyone, besides me understand that Israel was created after WWII, and Palestine has been there for 1,000s

Question

Read some history people, don't blindly follow as sheep.

the establishment of the State of Israel was in 1948

Palestinians are decendants from the Ottoman empire, Just like American's are Decendants from the colonies.

Or the english...

So I am not wrong on both accounts.

I don't take scriptures as fact as the bible is the world largest fairy tale. I believe in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves before I believe that propoganda.

PS: Which bible are you reading? JackA$$.

Answer 1

The current nation of Israel did come into existence after WWII. So yes, I understand that too.

Answer 2

This is an excerpt I copied from an exclusive commentary by Joseph Farah, published April 23,2002. I think you should read it to better understand what actually happened.Jews came to Jerusalem and represented the overwhelming majority of the population as early as 1906. And even though Muslims today claim Jerusalem as the third holiest site in Islam, when the city was under Islamic rule, they had little interest in it.

As the Jews came, drained the swamps and made the deserts bloom, something interesting began to happen. Arabs followed. I don't blame them. They had good reason to come. They came for jobs. They came for prosperity. They came for freedom. And they came in large numbers.

Winston Churchill observed in 1939: "So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population."

Then came 1948 and the great partition. The United Nations proposed the creation of two states in the region – one Jewish, one Arab. The Jews accepted it gratefully. The Arabs rejected it with a vengeance and declared war.

Arab leaders urged Arabs to leave the area so they would not be caught in the crossfire. They could return to their homes, they were told, after Israel was crushed and the Jews destroyed. It didn't work out that way. By most counts, several hundred thousand Arabs were displaced by this war – not by Israeli aggression, not by some Jewish real-estate grab, not by Israeli expansionism.

In fact, there are many historical records showing the Jews urged the Arabs to stay and live with them in peace. But, tragically, they chose to leave.

Fifty-four years later, the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters of those refugees are all-too-often still living in refugee camps – not because of Israeli intransigence, but because they are misused as a political tool of the Arab powers.

Those poor unfortunates could be settled in a week by the rich Arab oil states that control 99.9 percent of the Middle East landmass, but they are kept as virtual prisoners, filled with misplaced hatred for Jews and armed as suicide martyrs by the Arab power brokers.

This is the modern real history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. At no time did the Jews uproot Arab families from their homes. When there were title deeds to be purchased, they bought them at inflated prices. When there were not, they worked the land so they could have a place to live without the persecution they faced throughout the world.

It's a great big lie that the Israelis displaced anyone – one of a series of lies and myths that have the world on the verge of committing yet another great injustice to the Jews.

Answer 3

1916 - Sykes-Picot Agreement
Britain and France signed the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided the Arab region into zones of influence. Lebanon and Syria were assigned to France, Jordan and Iraq to Britain and Palestine was to be internationalized.
Stop blaming America and see whose really responsible.
1929 - The riots
In August 1929, the century's first large-scale attack on Jews by Arabs rocked Jerusalem. The riots, in which Palestinians killed 133 Jews and suffered 116 deaths. Mostly inflicted by British troops were sparked by a dispute over use of the Western Wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque ( this site is sacred to Muslims, but Jews claimed it is the remaining of jews temple all studies shows clearly that the wall is from the Islamic ages and it is part of al-Aqsa Mosque). But the roots of the violence lay deeper in Arab fears of the burgeoning Zionist movement , which aimed to make at least part of British-administered Palestine a Jewish state.

The British had made promises to both Arabs and Zionists. The 1917 Balfour Declaration supported the establishment of a "national home" for the Jews, while pledging that nothing would be done to " prejudice the civil and religious rights" of the Arabs. But the very presence of a Jewish homeland would, Arabs insisted, infringe on those rights.

Answer 4

Your name is apropos......Yes, most of us know that the nation of Israel was formed after WWII. The UN found a piece of deserted swamp land that was uninhabited and carved that out for the Israelis to build a life on. The Palestinians weren't using it, they are not even a country. They are a tribe of wanderers. They could melt into the society of any of their neighbors (who don't want them either by the way). The Israelis have built a working nation out of nothing. This however seems to piss off the Palestinians. They could have done this too, if they would focus on building a nation, and quit promoting the terrorist who continually get wealthy off the back of the people. I feel for the Palestinians in that they have not be able to get leaders that would actually work and help them. It is not the fault of the Israelis.

Answer 5

I understand, even though the issue is a little bit more complex than you state. UK, made the greatest mistake when it lobbied along with America to create a distinct state of Israel based on some biblical statement 2000 years ago. The British have a lot to answer for in this world, because wonderful people, but their class structures mean that buffoons are invariably the political class.

Answer 6

Yes and the Jews were their even longer, read some history for God sakes. Or read the bible. that is the land God gave them after they left Egypt. The Palestinians are Syrians and came after the Jews were scattered all over the world for disobeying God, God said I will put them back into the land I promised their fathers and that happened in 1948. I don't no what history books you are reading but you better get a new set.

Answer 7

Actually you are wrong on both counts.

Ancient Israel was created after the Jewish people conquered the land of at least 5 already stablished kingdoms, probably more.

The word Palestine comes from the ancient name of one of those conquered kingdoms the Philistine.

Both ceased to exist millenia ago, they were both recreated to settle homeless populations, both of them in what was known as Palestine were the Palestinians were all along. And to give the millions of displaced Jewish people in Europe after WWII a place to live.

Answer 8

So, that gives the Muslims the right to wipe Israel off the map? Get a clue, don't blindly follow as sheep.

Answer 9

Isreal has been there since biblecal times. Hitler was sending them to the ovens to die. They fled, palestineins took advantage of the situation to steal land and anything else they could get.
If someone came to this country and we fled to stay alive would that mean when we came back home. We not longer could say that this place was our home. We recreated the USA, because we had been forced to leave. Now we are back. That doesn't make any sense. They came home. Everyone knows that
They are the only people who can say that God gave them that land. He gave it to their forfathers. Told Abraham that was for his descendants thru Isaac and Jacob who was later called Isreal. That was a long time before ww2.
Because the palestineians forced them off their land doesn't make it theres.

Answer 10

Dude Who Cares? Why Not Just Bomb Them Both So You Never Have To Hear About It Anymore? If You Really Wanna Stop Their Little Wars Over There.......Its Possilble, I Can Have It Done....lol No Comment
