“Most of all Palestine, for rejecting the proposal of the UN to keep nearly 60% of their land intact if htey would just form a centralized government... -Gwenyfur”
If AlQudea said tomorrow “we will stop terrorizing the US, but give us half of Texas” what would your response be?
In 1948 when this proposal was put forth, it was after 30 years of the Palestinian people as well as the British suffering at the hands of Zionist terrorism. Groups such as the Sten Gang and Igrun committed daily attacks against Palestinian villages, populations as well as British officials. Their campaign of terrorism knew no ends, they slaughtered Palestinian children in schools, blew up hotels killing hundreds, kidnapped and publicly executed hundreds of officials.
Of course the Palestinians and Arabs rejected the plan, the plan was essentially rewarding the 30 years of Zionist terrorism by giving these terrorists half of Palestine (when Jews only owned 9% of Palestine in 1945).
Your continuing patter to oversimplify the issue is simply trivializing the complexity of it and if you continue to do it shows you have absolutely no willingness to have an intelligent and rational discussion on this situation and simply want to water it down, blame Palestinians and continue your blind support for the Zionist entity.
So in one word please simply tell me what it is you wish to do, do you wish to have a rational and intelligent conversation on the issue, or do you wish to continue your demeanor and mentality demonstrated in your last dozen posts in this thread. If it is the latter, please say so and save me the time of any future responses. I have 3 children, and if I want to get into a childish argument I will ask them which power ranger is the best.
“ but continue to blame the Jews instead of themselves-Gwenyfur”
Israel is not a Jewish nation; opposition to Israel is not opposition to Jews or Judaism. Zionism is a largely secular ideology derived from labor Zionism in the early 19th century socialist/communist movement.
