Well, do you think that the current Jewish majority of white skinned Ashkenazim, eastern Jews, have any more claim to the land? Their link to the ancient Israelites of the bible is more than questionable.

Israel has already forced the Arabs into a much much smaller area than what the UN set as boundaries and is currently building a huge wall around them! The best the Palestinians can do is to throw stones and to fire primitive unguided rockets while the Israelis have one of the best equipped armies in the world paid for by the US tax payer!

At the first point I think generally claims on the region as a result of genetic background at shakey. I was just pointing out if you want to play that game that it does not neccesarily favor the Arab.

At the second I know. That's why I support the idea of Isreal giving it back in the form of trying to get the Arabs within Isrrael proper into that zone and then giving the whole thing to the Palestinian Authority. (If there is one.)

And after ww2 the British gave Palestine, a land which never belonged to them in the first place, to the Jews in return for getting the US into the war (Balfour Declaration)
Wrong, and Wronger yet.

The Jews had been promised a Larger State by the British and League of Nations (UN predecessor).. but because of the 'Lawrence of Arabia Legacy' Arabs ended up with more that there fair share of the mandate and Ottoman Empire
Probably now ruling 105+% of their 'range'.. places like Kurdistan denied rule and given to a Saudi Prince as part of 'Iraq'

The Ottomans Did own the land I indicated (about 2/3 of future 'Israel').
It was owned, AS I SAID, by No Arab.
It was clled miri Belonging to the Emir for the 400 years of Ottoman rule and most of it virtually Uninhabitable- The Negev desert- perhaps a very sparse bedouins who still live there.
Sparse as was All of Palestine which now contains 20x the residente it did 150 years ago.

'Palestine' was a mere Political Map designation since the Romans Conquered ISRAEL (Judea and Samaria) and REnamed it 'Palestina'.
Since that time and until the REformation of Israel- there has never been a self-Governing 'palestine'.


The Jews never completely left Israel either- living continuously there for 3300 years- in small number after the Roman conquest and until the beginning of the 19th C.. when.. by 1840 Jews were the Largest Consituent in places like Jerusalem.

Quote:
Big SNIP

"..Greeks fled the Muslim rule in Greece, and landed in Palestine. By the mid-17th century, the Greeks lived everywhere in the Holy Land--constituting about 20% of the population-and their authority dominated the villages.3
Between 1750 and 1766 Jaffa had been rebuilt, and had some five hundred houses. Turks, Arabs, Greeks and Armenians and a solitary Latin monk lived there, to attend to the wants of the thousands of pilgrims who had to be temporarily housed in the port before proceeding to Jerusalem.4
"In some cases villages [in Palestine] are populated wholly by settlers from OTHER portions of the Turkish Empire within the 19th century.
There are villages of Bosnians, Druzes, Circassians and Egyptians," one historian has reported. 5 Another source, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911 edition (before the "more chauvinist Arab history" began to prevail with the encouragement of the British), finds the "population" of Palestine composed of so "widely differing" a group of "inhabitants" -- whose "ethnological affinities" create "early in the 20th century a list of no less than fifty languages" (see below) -- that "it is therefore no easy task to write concisely ... on the ethnology of Palestine." In addition to the "Assyrian, Persian and Roman" elements of ancient times, "the short-lived Egyptian government introduced into the population an element from that country which still persists in the villages."

. . . There are very large contingents from the Mediterranean countries, especially Armenia, Greece and Italy . . . Turkoman settlements ... a number of Persians and a fairly large Afghan colony . . . Motawila ... long settled immigrants from Persia ... tribes of Kurds ... German "Templar" colonies ... a Bosnian colony ... and the Circassian settlements placed in certain centres ... by the Turkish government in order to keep a restraint on the Bedouin ... a large Algerian element in the population ... still maintain(s) [while] the Sudanese have been reduced in numbers since the beginning of the 20th century.
In the late eighteenth century, 3,000 Albanians recruited by Russians were settled in Acre. The Encyclopaedia Britannica finds "most interesting all the non-Arab communities in the country . . . the Samaritan sect in Nablus (Shechem); a gradually disappearing body" once "settled by the Assyrians to occupy the land left waste by the captivity of the Kingdom of Israel."6

The disparate peoples recently assumed and purported to be "settled Arab indigenes, for a Thousand years" were in fact a "heterogeneous" community 7
With No "Palestinian" identity, and according to an official British historical analysis in 1920, No Arab identity either:
"The people west of the Jordan are not Arabs, but only Arabic-speaking. The bulk of the population are fellahin.... In the Gaza district they are mostly of Egyptian origin; elsewhere they are of the most Mixed race." 8

Really, Israel is just such a small patch of dirt. It belongs to the Jews who have been dispossessed of the land more than once in the last 2 or 3 thousand years. It now belongs to them again. Let them have it. If there are any Palestinians or Arabs or Muslims who can't live with the Jews, let them depart from Israel, and the Golan Heights, Gaza and the West Bank for that matter. There is plenty of land, plenty of Arab countries, plenty of Islamic countries from which they can choose. Jews have only one Jewish country. It's theirs, they have earned it, and they have paid for it in blood more so than any other people in history.

Let it be.

Terrorism, lies, murder, and ethnic cleaning you call "earned"?


Quote:
Here is the short list of Zionist atrocities from 1944 to the present:

• Assassination of Lord Moyne on November 6, 1944 . Under orders from Yitzhak Shamir, terrorists of the Stern Gang shot Lord Moyne, British resident minister. Purpose: To drive the British from Palestine .

• The King David massacre, July 22, 1946 . Begin’s Irgun terrorists, with encouragement from Ben-Gurion’s Hagana, blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem , murdering 92. Purpose: Destroy British records that proved the highest members of the Zionist government backed anti-British terrorism.

• British sergeants hanged, July 12, 1947 . Begin, Shamir, and Haganah authorized kidnapping and hanging of two British sergeants, booby trapping their bodies and mining the area. During this time, Shamir sent many letters and package bombs to British officials. 1947 also included multiple cases of kidnappings (including brutal floggings of British soldiers) by Jewish terrorists.

• The Semiramis Hotel massacre, January 5, 1948 . Jewish Agency leader David Ben-Gurion and Haganah leaders blew up the Seramis Hotel in Jerusalem , killing 20 and wounding 17. Purpose: Terrorize Arabs into fleeing Israel .

• Deir Yassin massacre, April 9, 1948 . Begin’s Irgun soldiers killed 250 sleeping Arab villagers at Deir Yassin, a suburb of Jerusalem . “25 pregnant women were bayoneted in their abdomens while still alive. 52 children were maimed under the eyes of their mothers and then were slain and their heads cut off.” “…Menachem Begin, the leader of the Irgun gang, himself admitted on December 28, 1950 in a press interview in New York, that the Deir Yassin incident had been carried out in accordance with an agreement between the Irgun and the Jewish Agency and Haganah.” 7 Begin was always proud of what he had done, considering Deir Yassin a legitimate military target. Irgun trucks drove throughout Judea , announcing by loudspeaker to hundreds of thousands of Arabs that unless they fled Israel they would meet the same fate. Deir Yassin and subsequent terrorist acts precipitated flight of more than 800,000 Arabs from Palestine . In town after town Zionist soldiers drove Palestinians out, usually killing any person who delayed or attempted to take any possessions with them. Arab towns were bulldozed, replaced with Jewish communities. 8 Begin comments on the level of Palestinian terror generated by Irgun’s massacre at Deir Yassin. “Out of evil, however, good came. This Arab propaganda spread a legend of terror amongst Arabs and Arab troops, who were seized with panic at the mention of Irgun soldiers. The legend was worth a dozen battalions to the forces of Israel .” 9 Israel exiled these unfortunates to concentration camps in Lebanon , the West Bank , and Gaza , refusing to allow them repossession of their land and property or adequate compensation. 10 This is the seminal cause of international Arab terrorism and the Mid-East conflict that rages today.

• Assassination of UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte, September 17, 1948 . This killing by the Stern Gang was on orders of Shamir. Purpose: To sabotage UN efforts to create a Palestinian state.

• Massacre at Dawayma, October 29, 1948 . Israeli soldiers killed between 80 and 100 men, women, and children in Dawayma, a suburb of Haifa . Purpose: Intensify terror generated by Deir Yassin and compel the remaining Palestinians to leave Israel.

• Massacre at Kibya, October 14, 1953 . In an atrocity condoned by the highest levels of the Israeli government and military, Ariel Sharon led 700 crack paratroopers to attack the Jordanian town of Kibya . They slaughtered 75 innocent men, women, and children primarily by locking families in their homes and blowing them up. 12 Purpose: Collective punishment to avenge the alleged killing of a single Jewish family.

• Massacre of Kafr Kassim, October 29, 1956 . 51 men, women, and children were murdered by Israeli troops as they returned to their villages in the evening after work. 13 more were severely wounded by the gunfire. Purpose: Terrorize Palestinians into not siding with Egypt in case of war.

• Massacre of USS Liberty, June 8, 1967 . Israel ’s jet fighters and torpedo boats repeatedly attempted to sink US intelligence monitoring vessel USS Liberty during the 1967 Israel/Egypt war. They killed 34 and wounded 171 American sailors. Purpose: Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan ordered the attack ostensibly to protect Israel ’s intelligence communications, even though the war was virtually over.

• Libyan airliner massacre, February 21, 1973 . Straying over Israeli-controlled Sinai air space, a Libyan 727 commercial airliner was intercepted by Israeli fighters and, despite the clearest identification, shot down, killing 106. Purpose: Flexing Zionist power against Libya .

• Massacre in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, Beirut , Lebanon , September 23, 1982 . Gen. Ariel Sharon and Yitshak Shamir, in cooperation with “Christian” Phalangist forces sealed all exits and provided aerial flares, illuminating the slaughter of up to 2,750 men, women, and children, according to a body count by the committee of the Red Cross. Purpose: collective punishment of Palestinians.
And don't forget the USS Liberty and the "5 dancing Israelis" on 9/11! The Jews have demonstrated themselves over and over again to be unworthy and incapable to have their own country, Israel is no country but a parasitic center of world gangsterism the whole world has to pay for!

there was never a country called palestine. thus palestine was an area that was part of syria. thus the oppressed were syrians.

QUOTE
To sum up: the fact that Arab leaders of the nationalist movement sold land to Jews was well-known in the Arab community. The political leadership tried unsuccessfully to suppress this information. The subject came alive when Lewis French stated in a memorandum to the Government that certain members of the Moslem Supreme Council had sold land to Jews and that the Arab leadership had no objection to such sales of surplus land.


excerpted from: The Claim of Dispossession : Jewish Land Settlement and the Arabs, 1878-1948 by Arieh L Avneri

got to this source for a list of particulars. ie those who knowingly sold land to zionists.

here are some supporting quotes

King Abdallah, My Memoirs Completed, (London, Longman Group, Ltd., 197, pp. 88-89.
In his memoirs, Transjordan's King Abdullah wrote:


QUOTE
It is made quite clear to all, both by the map drawn up by the Simpson Commission and by another compiled by the Peel Commission, that the Arabs are as prodigal in selling their land as they are in useless wailing and weeping (author's emphasis).


from the Peel Commission: Palestine Royal Commission (1937), pp. 241-242.


QUOTE
The Peel Commission's report found that Arab complaints about Jewish land acquisition were baseless. It pointed out that "much of the land now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamp and uncultivated when it was purchased....there was at the time of the earlier sales little evidence that the owners possessed either the resources or training needed to develop the land." Moreover, the Commission found the shortage was "due less to the amount of land acquired by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population." The report concluded that the presence of Jews in Palestine, along with the work of the British Administration, had resulted in higher wages, an improved standard of living and ample employment opportunities.

Deir Yassin massacre, April 9, 1948 . Begin’s Irgun soldiers killed 250 sleeping Arab villagers at Deir Yassin
sorry skept.. the number has been officially reduced by 60%, 100.

Quote:
In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered.
http://www.deiryassin.org/

we can now get into what really happened at deir yassin. i will use a palestinian arab source.

now for my rebuttal to deir yassin:

Palestinian Arab eyewitnesses have recently admitted that some of their claims about Dir Yassin were deliberate fabrications. The issue of the Jerusalem Report dated April 2, 1998 describes a BBC television program in which Hazem Nusseibeh, an editor of the Palestine Broadcasting Service's Arabic news in 1948, admits that he was told by Hussein Khalidi, a prominent Palestinian Arab leader, to fabricate claims of atrocities at Dir Yassin in order to encourage Arab regimes to invade the expected Jewish state.

According to the Jerusalem Report:

Nusseibeh "describes an encounter at the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem's Old City with Deir Yassin survivors and Palestinian leaders, including Hussein Khalidi... 'I asked Dr. Khalidi how we should cover the story,' recalled Nusseibeh. 'He said, "We must make the most of this." So we wrote a press release stating that at Deir Yassin children were murdered, pregnant women were raped. All sorts of atrocities.' "

The BBC program then shows a recent interview with Abu Mahmud, who was a Dir Yassin resident in 1948, who says:

... the villagers protested against the atrocity claims: We said, "There was no rape." [Khalidi] said, "We have to say this, so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews."

Khalidi was one of the originators of the "massacre" allegation in 1948. It was Khalidi's claims about Jewish atrocities in Dir Yassin that were the basis for an article in the New York Times by its correspondent, Dana Schmidt (on April 12, 194, claiming a massacre took place. The Times article has been widely reprinted and cited as "proof" of the massacre throughout the past 50 years.

Nusseibeh, who is a member of one of Jerusalem's most prominent Arab families and presently lives in Amman, told the BBC that the fabricated atrocity stories about Dir Yassin were:

"...our biggest mistake," because "Palestinians fled in terror" and left the country in huge numbers after hearing the atrocity claims.
