Israel's Labor Party view;

So why should the US object ? In attempting to block Palestinian Statehood the US isn't siding with its ' ally', Israel. IT IS SIDING WITH ISRAELI FASCISTS !

 

Good news...............

 

It is about time that the UN catches up to reality.

 

I know... wish they'd done it in 1967..

Think of the lives that would have been saved.

 

4 posts and no zionists so far.

 

UN is a joke

 

...until you need them.

 

Sadly, not everyone is in favor of a fair, two-state solution for the better of everyone.

 

and then they come a day late and a dollar short.

the un is just a useless organization trying to be the government of the world.

and there should be no 2 states the pallies lost that right when they attacked in 1948.

 

You deserve a history lesson instead of Israeli propaganda.

THE SS PATRIA.


November 25, 1940. In September, 1940, around 3,000 Jewish refugees from Vienna, Prague and Danzig were attempting to reach Palestine. In a convoy of four river steamers, they set sail down the Danube and reached the Romanian port of Tulcea where they transferred to three Greek cargo ships named Atlantic, Pacific and Milos. Conditions on board these three ships were horrendous, reminiscent of Japanese hell-ships later in the war. Eventually the ships reached Palestinian waters, but the British Colonial Office refused them permission to land.

It was finally decided to deport the refugees to the island of Mauritius where a special camp was to be built. The three ships were then brought into Haifa harbour where the liner Patria was berthed. The refugees were then embarked on the Patria and as the last passengers from the Atlantic were coming on board, a tremendous explosion ripped the liner apart. The death toll amounted to 267 refugees killed. The explosion was the work of the Jewish underground army, the Haganah, who had meant only to damage the ship to prevent it sailing but had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the ship. Many say that this was no miscalculation and was deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British immigration policy to Palestine.

 

Link please. Prove that the Palestinians "attacked" in 1948.

1948 War (the 'Nakba') - The War of Independence or 1948 War is divided into the pre-independence period, and the post-independence period. Clashes between Israeli underground groups and Arab irregulars began almost as soon as the UN passed the partition resolution

Sadly, false claims are not sufficient enough to prove that the UN is useless.

Here's an accurate history lesson.

 

I fear that Israeli propaganda is usually only related to history in the sense that it opposes such and attempts to discredit it.

 

Down with the dirty jew, they have for too long destroyed nations and stole the weath from the rest of us! Finally we can force the destruction of this evil plague on the earth!



Wait what is that? your telling me this isnt a neo nazi rally..... could have fooled me.

 

Are you crazy?

A just peace is the best strategy for Israel's security and prosperity.

Its overdue..

 

It's evident that those wishing to try would have every success.

 

I fear that Israeli propaganda is usually only related to history in the sense that it opposes such and attempts to discredit it.

 

Link please. I've seen no evidence supporting any of these claims.

 

Neither has he.

Anyway, what do you think that Zionists will do when their Golden Calf is taken away from them ?

And you should stop posting your silly taqqiya Margot...

The league of nation and your beloved UN gave the land to Israel... And your friend lost more when they started wars they weren't able to win. Thems are the break...

 

False. Resolution 181 suggested a division of territory. It didn't bestow anything at all.

 

You might try to actually learn the meaning of Taqqiya..

Facts stand up to scrutiny.. and Israeli propaganda is no excuse to continue the theft and killing .. Remember you are Europeans who had no safe place to go before you began your shameful exploitations in Palestine.

 

The pallies lost their land when they declared war on Israel. There are consequences in starrting war you can't win.

You should read up on how nations came to be all over the world...

 

Link please. Where did "pallies declared war on Israel". Facts back claims, not the endless repetition of racist hate-propaganda.

 

This is tripe. Worse, it's the wishful thinking of armchair Zionism. It has absolutely no basis in law.
