Jew's the firsr terrorists?

Question

The problem originated soon after World War 1 when a large numbers of jews began to settle in Palestine, hoping to set up a Jewish national home. The Arabs and Palestine were implacably hostile to the idea of a separate Jewish state in what they considered there homeland. In order to retain Arab friendship and their own oil supplies the British limited Jewish immigration to 10,000 a year 1939. The second world war intensified the problem with hundereds ans thousands of Jewish refugees from Hitlers Europe looking for somewhere to go. The Americans forced Britain to give them Palestine after the jews killed hundereds of British soldiers.

Answer 1

There were Jewish terrorist groups operating in Palestine prior to the creation of the Israeli state. They were largely responsible for the ethnic cleansing that allowed large scale immigration to the vacant land. However, terrorism is many thousands of years older than that.

Answer 2

Actually, there were large numbers of Jews in "Palestine" going back before it was even called "Palestine", which was long before the birth of Mohammed.

Prior to the arrival of the Romans, it was called "Judea", and since the arrival of the Romans, it has been occupied by different nations ever since.

The trouble started when Muslims began to riot shortly after WWI and murder entire Jewish neighborhoods. Not all of them rioted, of course, the ones that didn't were often sheltering the Jews, which is why they managed to survive.

At about the same time, the independent Arab/Muslim states started expelling Jews, and many chose to take advantage of the fact that British Occupied Palestine allowed them entry.

WWII didn't cause the partition, it actually delayed it. The plan had been in the works for quite some time, and far from being the cause of the unrest in the area, the partition was intended to be the solution.

The Americans didn't force Britain to do anything, and in particular not to give them Palestine, since the US has never controlled it.

Answer 3

Research your subject. Palestine did not belong to U.K. after the defeat of the Turks in W.W.I Palestine became a British Mandate,both Jews and Arabs lived there, the Jews also enlisted in the British Army in large numbers to help fight the Nazi,s, we needed all the help we could get in W.W.II, After W.W.II the UNITED NATIONS voted to partition Palestine into a Jewish state,(Israel) and a Palestinian state. The Atlee government at that time,and contrary to the U.N. terms did all in their power to assist the Arabs in the destruction of Israel. The Arab nations en- masse attacked Israel on all fronts, and though out numbered many times over ,the Jews with the aid of a few men that could see the Arab threat to world peace not only defended their new state but gave the Arabs a bloody nose & gained hard won territory, which now it has been irrigated and developed the Arabs naturally want back,they had only been sitting on the land for thousands of years,too lazy to make use of it. Make no mistake,if the arabs had succeeded in overunning Israel, there would have been a massacre of Jewish men, women and children which in its barbarism would make the Holcaust look like picnic.Their isn,t a braver man than an Arab, when he has someone at his mercy.

Answer 4

While your question has some logical points, I wouldn't consider the Jews to be the first "terrorists"...there were, after all, hordes of Huns, Visigoths and other who could legitimately be described as terrorists long before WWI, as well as the white people who terrorized the American continents and subjugated the Native peoples.
I believe that you are incorrect in stating that the Arabs objected to Jews residing in the Middle East prior to WWI: according to an elderly Palestinian man I am well acquainted with, Jews and Arabs lived in harmony during that time in the places now know as Israel and the Palestinian Territories. You ARE correct, however, in that the nation of Israel was founded on the concept of "terrorism", particularly the group known as Irgun. They murdered not only British soldiers, but a large number of Palistinian civilians as well. And from this select group of terrorists came many of Israel's future leaders.
During this time is when the hatred between the two groups of people began, and legitimately so for the Palestinians. I liken it to Ohioans invading my home state of Michigan and saying: "Sorry, it's ours now. Get out."
All because a group of people (the Jews) were vilified and murdered by another group of people (the Nazis); in turn, the Jews now vilify and murder the Palestinians, who had nothing whatsoever to do with Hitler's ethnic cleansing. Nobody wins until the Palestinians get their own nation.

Edit: "Israel was nothing but a desert until the Jews got ahold of it"? "The Muslims 'broke away from the CATHOLIC CHURCH?' " Oh. My. God...the ignorance here is BEYOND appalling. No wonder this world is in the state it is.
DFordL---you are the most ignorant of all. I sure hope YOU're not this country's future. Read something besides a comic book, please.

Answer 5

Terrorism is defined via fact the unlawful use of tension designed to intimidate or coerce a human beings normally for political/ideological purposes....the main important observe being unlawful. Of all your examples, the only one that could intimidate the Palestinians may well be the Deir Yassin experience. This feels like terrorism to me. in spite of the undeniable fact that, something are purely centred assassinations and no Palestinian might say, "they only killed Lord Moyne. i'd desire to be next!" as quickly as Israel became a rustic, the precise same acts now become lawful... precisely via fact it fairly is a rustic. As such, you are able to call them acts of conflict yet you are able to not call them terrorism. whilst the Palestinians or Hamas or Fatah or... are actually not a rustic, their acts will stay talked approximately as terrorism and rightly so. those communities are in charge to no person. ought to the Palestinians get an self reliant native land and proceed to fireplace rockets at civilians, then that is seen an act of conflict (and not terrorism). No hypocrisy and no contradictions.

Answer 6

"Jews" are not terrorists. Lets make that clear. That's like saying all muslims are terrorists, which people DO say, but it's not true.

Israel, though has done a LOT of despicable things though that you could consider terrorism. They totally abuse all the military equipment they have been given to wage war for themselves. They have broken countless ceasefires and simply shifted the blame elsewhere or deniedaccountability. They have displaced thousands of people and broken UN resolutions. Then there was the invasion of Lebanon... oh lord. They bombed countless civillian targets, killing civilians but claiming there were terrorists in them too. They destroyed newly build bridges and the airport - infrastructure. There was even one story I remember where there was a two day ceasefire in one region to allow the Red Cross to get in and out to pick up casualties. They broke the ceasefire and blew up the Red Cross ambulance. Yeah, that's terrorism. It doesn't even compare to Hezbollah.

Answer 7

Wow where did you get this crap? When the Jews started settling Palestine there were was no significant Arab population there it was the middle of the desert. The only Arabs were nomads who moved around constantly. And that last line you wrote about Americans forcing Britain to give THEM Palestine and jews killing British. Whatever, this crap doesn't even make sense.

Answer 8

IF you believe that the American Indians owned the US

THEN you have to accept that the Jews owned Palestine

Therefore the other Arabs and British really invaded the Israelis homeland and they were just taking it back. Sort of like the way you probably support Mexico retaking Calif. and TX.

Just guessing, of course.

Answer 9

You have been reading too much Islamic racist propaganda.
In many Arab countries they have lifted the racist propaganda against the Jews produced by the Nazis and teach in their schools.
While in the west we try to teach understanding and tolerance between races, in the Muslim countries the children are taught to hate other races and religions in school.
Don't forget that in W W 2 the SS had a 2000 strong Muslim brigade who could be relied upon the slaughter Jews without troubling their consciences, and all this happened before the modern state of Israel

Answer 10

You are right but this could said of America V the indigenous population, or the Spanish in Mexico Etc. Once Europe has become a single state it is only a matter of time before Asia is Incorporated, then the Americas and George Orwell will have been right.

Answer 11

Although this does not seem to be a question

you have to go a lot further back. Romans, perhaps, when they burned whole cities. Certainly the tribes of Ghengis Khan would be considered terrorists by today's standards.

I'm not sure I understand why isolating who were the "first" terrorists miight be useful - or was this simply an anti-Jewish slur disguised as a question?
