What caused the country palestine to be erased from this earth?

Question

Please add why it is gone now...

Answer 1

Well it worked like this. The British, in order to get the Arabs to fight against the Ottomans, said that the Palestinian Arabs (Arabs, not Jews, because Jews were considered Palestinians at that time) could have a homeland in the land. They promised the same thing to the Jews because they needed the money. WWII happened. The Arabs fought on the side of the Nazis, the Jews fought on the side of the British, earning them the Balfour Declaration. Jews, refugees from the Holocaust, began to immigrate in masses to the then British colony of Palestine. Eventually the Jews started rioting because they were not being let in due to the request of the Arabs. The Arabs began to massacre the Jews. So, the British said to hell with all of you and turned it over to the U.N. Palestine was freed from its status as a perpetual colony because the Jews had begun to form a civilization there--there were Jewish universities, hospitals, and police forces. This was one of the reasons the Jews were awarded statehood. The neighboring Arab countries, on hearing of Israel's statehood, decided to eliminate all the Jews. Make a "second Holocaust" and to begin a "war of extermination to match the Crusades." The Arab countries told the Palestinian Arabs to leave and them come back when all the Jews were dead. The Jews didn't die as easily as they thought. So, the neighboring Arab countries had told the Arabs to leave, and now they had no place to go. Rather than take them in they said to hell with you to, creating the Palestinian refugee problem today. Over the course of years the Arab countries repeatedly struck at Israel but couldn't kill it. So, that's how it happened.

Oh and Palestine was never a country. It was a colony.

Sammer check out The Israel Arab Reader edited by Walter Laqueur. I think they sell an easier version so you can read it, but you might have to search around.

Answer 2

Well it worked like this. The BRitish, in order to get Arabs to rise up against the Ottomans, promised the Palestinian Arabs a homeland in the area west of the Jordon RIver if the fought. SO we fought. Good enough.

They also promised the same thing to the Jews because they needed war loans and there were wealthy Jews who owned banks who supported such a thing. FIne.

The problem is they didn't tell either party what they had promised the other. Then most of the Jews went ape, started killing the British to get them out of Palestine so they could start a country of their own. When the British left, they attacked the Arabs.

The neighboring Arab countries intervened, and managed to stop the Jews from expelling the Palestinians from the whole area. To keap this up, they had to keep their armies in place, or the Jews would overrun it all, like they did in the 1967 war.

So Palestine, the region, never got to be a country because it was swallowed up before it could form. It was a territory in the Ottoman EMpire, and a Teritory in the British EMpire, but that territory, unlike Syria or Lebenon, never got to be a country like the others did. So in a sad way, there are now Palestinian people, who developed a national identity based on living in Palestine, but Palestine never got to develope from a territory into a country when the Turks and British left, because the New occupier came, unlike in the case of Lebenon or Syria.

In Tunisia in the 70's the PLO declared a Palestinain State in Palestine, but only Arab countries and China recognized it.

Anyways, that's how it happened.

And JEEZ oh man, Lady Surri down below. The Arabs fought for the Nazis? Wow. I guess you never have seen the lists of the war dead. There were entire Arab divisions in the British Army, and the whole Arab world was part of the British Empire, and fought like tigers in Egypt against the Nazis. If you have to make up something to demonize another people, maybe those people don't need demonized.

I ask myself why Chechens are not allowed their own country. Please see these websites:

I am also concerned about Russia's backing of Serbia. They are attempting to block the creation of an independent Kosovan homeland. There is also the situation in Zimbabwe.

As far as Palestine goes, I figure peace is now a requirement and not an offer up for negotiation. How many times have Palestinians been fairly offered a country but have rejected it? It is in the constitution of the P.L.O. to resist the 'Zionist invasion' and to advocate a Palestinian nation that destroys Israel. A vote for the 'Unity government' is a vote for the destruction of Israel. So it is also blatantly anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli. There is a reason why Western aid has been cut off. I am at my wit's end about it.

Answer 4

Religious intolerance between Jewish and Muslim factions caused conflict which America helped to stoke-up so that they (USA) could maintain a foothold in that region through the power of the Jewish community in the states. The Jews were too clever for the Arabs and took what land they wanted. Palestine was never a real sovereign state.

Answer 5

According to all known encyclopedic sources available, including Wikipedia, Palestine was never actually a country, only a region or territory, so really, your question is based on a false premise and therefore invalid.

Just like Palestine.
