Kitten Sol I am sure you are familiar with Amin al-Husayni, the mufti of Jerusalem.  Its amazing that people can ignore this stuff. 

"
Back in the summer of 1940 and again in February 1941, al-Hussayni submitted to the German government a draft declaration of German-Arab cooperation, containing a clause:

Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements, which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries, as required by the national and ethnic (völkisch) interests of the Arabs, and as the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy.[31]"
...............
Some recent research, however, apparently argues that al-Husayni did work with Eichmann for the dispatch of a special corps of Einsatz commandos to exterminate the Jews in Palestina, if Rommel managed to break through the British lines in Egypt.[41] Husseini did intervene on May 13, 1943, with the German Foreign Office to block possible transfers of Jews from Bulgaria, Hungary and Roumenia, after reports reached him that 4000 Jewish children accompanied by 500 adults had managed to reach Palestine. He asked that the Foreign Minister 'to do his utmost' to block all such proposals and this request was complied with.[42]. A year later, on the 25th July, 1944, he wrote to the Hungarian foreign minister to register his objection to the release of certificates for 900 Jewish children and 100 adults for transfer from Hungary, fearing they might end up in Palestine. He suggested that if such transfers of population were deemed necessary, then:-

'it would be indispensable and infinitely preferable to send them to other countries where they would find themselves under active control, as for example Poland, thus avoiding danger and preventing damage.'[43]

...........
In his memoirs after the war, Husayni noted that "Our fundamental condition for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world. I asked Hitler for an explicit undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of its Jews. The answer I got was: 'The Jews are yours'.'[44]

........

In September 1943, intense negotiations to rescue 500 Jewish children from the town of Arbe in Croatia collapsed due to the objection of the Mufti who blocked the children's departure to Turkey because they would end up in Palestine. The children were sent to Auschwitz.[45]
 
............
 
Al-Husayni was involved in the organization and recruitment of Bosnian Muslims into several divisions of the Waffen SS and other units. The largest was the 13th "Handschar" division of 21,065 men, which conducted operations against Communist partisans in the Balkans from February 1944[48] and participated in the genocide of Yugoslav Jews.[49]
On March 1, 1944, while speaking on Radio Berlin, al-Husayni said:

'Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.'[50][51][52]

Reality licks has a few things incorrect.  First of all, His numbers are way off base.  the number is disputed, but the officiall UN # is 711,000 Refugees that left Isreal.  Not Millions to several countries.

The West bank and Gaza and Half of Jerusalem was invaded and occupyied by Jordan, and Egypt with the approval and help of the other Arab states. in 1948.  Not by Isreal.  They held it for 20 years.  The Arabs prevented Palestine from forming in 1948.  And continue to today

Jordan is the only Arab state that gave citizenship to the Palestinains, the states Reality licks listed, refused and continue to resue to allow Palestinians to immigrate.  Also not a single one of them has even 1 million Palestinian refugees, not the millions each reality claims.  A perfect example of how people lie about this issue.  reality has probably heard that millions of times, and doesn't realise he was lied to.  But it is pretty easy to look this stuff up, so the ignorance is fairly inexcusable..

Wikipedia is not the best source, but every point from this wiki quote is Footnoted, so its valid,

"
In 1957, the Refugee Conference at Homs, Syria, passed a resolution stating that "Any discussion aimed at a solution of the Palestine problem which will not be based on ensuring the refugees' right to annihilate Israel will be regarded as a desecration of the Arab people and an act of treason (Beirut al Massa, July 15, 1957)."[15]
The Arab League issued instructions barring the Arab states from granting citizenship to Palestinian Arab refugees (or their descendants) "to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right to return to their homeland".[16]
Syrian Prime Minister, Khalid al-Azm, wrote in his 1973 memoirs:




Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees [...] while it is we who made them leave. [...] We brought disaster upon [...] Arab refugees, by inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave. [...] We have rendered them dispossessed. [...] We have accustomed them to begging. [...] We have participated in lowering their moral and social level. [...] Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson, and throwing bombs upon [...] men, women and children-all this in the service of political purposes.


Jordan is the only Arab country which uniformly gave citizenship rights to Palestinian refugees present on its soil. "



It is rather disengenouis to argue Isreal should go back to the 67 borders, while arguing that it was ok for pre 67 Arabs to be working for thier anihalation, adn constantly attacking them.  Arabs don't give a shit about the Palestinian people, its really sad. 




You're a little selective with the facts lucky. There was no agreement between the Arabs and Jews, the zionists decided to set up Israel without agreement which was what caused the conflict in 1948. The neighbouring Arab countries did invade and didn't act honourably to the Arabs that are now called the Palestinians but the zionists did ethnically cleanse (let's use the right term) around 700,000 Palestinians which have in the mean time grown to 6 million(?) refugees , both Christian and muslim. However, the conflict started way before 1948, to start at 1948 is to start at a moment that is convenient to your argument but let's do that.

http://www.alnakba.org/   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Day or look up any other account of al-nakba

Even Ben Gurion admitted they stole Arab land and let me quote him again.

“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”
 
“We must expel the Arabs and take their places.”

As I also pointed out, Israel along with France and Britain invaded Egypt in 1956 and it was Israel that started the 1967 war. So while you are sort of right about 1948, you are cherry picking again.

Whats really sad Kitten Sol is that when he appeared before the Shaw Commision, he carried and quoted from the wonderfull book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".  Thats was what he was basing the intent of the Jewish refugees on.  The same book that several posters on here keep going back to as the truth. 

The man was motivated by and believed the lies of the Europeon Anti Semites.  None of it had to happen

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paranoid

I imagine the Palestineans feel exactly the same way about the Isrealis that you do about whoever you claim wants the Jews to die.  The difference between you and I is that I do not want anybody to die. 

I dont have any problem with the Jews.  What I have a problem with are the actions of the Isreali government.  This is a government that has actively spied on the United States for decades.  They have then taken what they are able to glean and traded it to the Soviet Union so the Soviet Union would allow Jews to emigrate to Isreal.  With the fall of the Soviet Union, the Isreali government has fostered the spying of information from the United States and sold it to the Chinese.

I dont mind if you stridently insist that this has something to do with religion, but doing so simply shows obtuse zionism and a lack of understanding of the history of the region.

I did make a mistake.  I said Egypt rather than Syria. You are wrong about the numbers of refugees. The UN figures for refugees in Palestinian camps from 2005:
  • Jordan 1,827,877
  • Lebanon 404,170
  • Syria 432,048

With 986,034 in the Gaza Strip and 699,817 in the West Bank, that's over 4.3millon refugees.  Israel disputes these UN figures because they include the children of refugees.

That sentence is utter bollocks, my friend.  British mandated Palestine had been in existence since 1921. "Israel" the state was simply foisted on unwilling citizens.  Britain recognised Israel in '48, the Palestinians did not and refused to have it forced upon them by Britain.  War broke out, creating Palestinian refugees.  Palestine's allies in Transjordan crossed to the West Bank to protect Jerusalem, the Palestinian capital, and held it.

In 1949, the UN drew up borders for two unitary states plus access to Jerusalem for Israel.  This is the situation that pertained until 1967 and the Six Days War when Israel occupied the West Bank, creating more refugees. 

Jordan did not "invade" Israel.  It protected Palestinian civilians from a land grab by an illegally-constituted state.  Britain acted improperly in recognising Israel, as Meatcleaver has pointed out.

You silver-tongued charmer.  Arab states may indeed have let the Palestinians down in some ways.  In their defence, the Arab refusal to grant citizenship has more to do with Israel's legal challenge to the refugees' "right to return", don't you think?

I don't argue that anyone should annihilate anyone (this sentence may well be invisible  ).  I said that the first step towards peace would be to return to the Palestinians a proper unitary state and the two countries to share Jerusalem.  This would still mean that many Palestinians lose their homes.  It would mean Israel's settlers leave the West Bank and Gaza Strip.  And it would mean negotiating with Palestine's representatives of choice.

You ought not to accuse me of lying or being disingenuous without a better grasp of the history involved.  I'm not above making mistakes but I have neither the need nor the desire to mislead and find it bizarre you imagine I have.

al-Husayni was subsequently ostracised by the Arab Nationalists and the PLO and his sins don't excuse the punishment of all Palestinians.  You tread on dangerous ground when you describe all those who object to Israel's actions as anti-Semites.  Not least because many are Jews, themselves.

Lucky, the zionists were happy to collaborate with the Nazis in order to further their ends so why is it shocking for some Arabs to?

Here's an effort in trying to explain it away. http://www.holocaust-history.org/questions/zionists-and-nazis.shtml

Whatever, it was commoin knowledge to the British that zionists were happy to collaborate with the Germans to further their aims.

You are making the mistake that all muslims are united. You wouldn't be so naive to believe all Christians are united, would you? Where were the Christian bretheren of the Christian Palestinians?

The figures for the British mandated Palestine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_of_Palestine

A friend's father was a Christian Arab from Haifa and he was forced from his home at gun point by the zionists and told if he returned he would be staying for good ie. dead and buried. He had five minutes to collect what he could and leave, which wasn't much because he had three very young children and an ageing mother to carry. It was impossible of course. My friend wasn't born them but his eldest sister can remember the time well. They had Jewish friends and neighbours at the time but not any more. As she said, you stop caring what happened to the Jews when they have done something like that to you.

-fast reply-

I've stood in the heart of the Dachau encampment, I've walked the gas chambers and touched the ovens with my own hands; Nevermind the pictures, the monent you walk through those gates into this sanctuary of hell you feel the death and agony; as you cross the threshhold and enter this place death hits you like the air change as you are walking out the door of a warm room into the bitter winter cold, the chill will reach your very soul.............................

My staunch opinion is that anyone, and I mean anyone that would deny the deaths that occurred in such a place is either a sheltered fool that needs to explore lifes realities or a madman with an evil agenda............................

Offer olive branches to these types of men and your day inside a fence is closer than you think, they'll take this branch from you, beat you to death with it and use it to start the fire the chars your remains, many westerners are so nieve in their approach to the world that they believe that every man has a side of reason and that every man wants to live in peace and harmony with his fellow man, get a fuckin grip, I'm not even that nice and I am reasonable, and I have also faced those that aren't; they'll drink your blood and piss it in your mother's face.................................

Christianity evolved from a little Jewish Carpenter, I know that, you know that and so do these radicals that want to see you die, they want anyone that is not Muslim to die, and if you think for one split second that they will reason in any way apart from your unconditional capitulation to their rhetoric you better set down the koolaid and regroup in your diet of delusional fantasy.

I value those that sacrificed all that came before me to bargin away there hard fought gains simply to make it easy on myself. If any of you want to cower from the fight simply to advance your political agenda or save your own precious skin, have at it; just don't look for a sympathetic response from me when reality bitch slaps you.

Meat did you even read your link? 

"What is most important to keep in mind, however, is that the Zionists who negotiated with the Nazis were doing so to try to save Jewish lives. Unfortunately, they were negotiating with people who had no regard for human life, and European Jewry suffered anyway. "

You equate that with being a recruiter for the SS and wanting to implement the German Scientific solution for the Jews, all over the world?   Claiming something as  common knowledge in the UK doesn't really mean anything to me.

I support Israel`s right to exist and I also have criticism for some of Israel`s policies and actions.

It`s perfectly reasonable to feel this way.Israel is a secular state and they say so.Possibly more secular than the US or Europe.

When one criticizes Israel or her policies,they aren`t being anti-Semitic.

When someone makes that charge against a critic of Israel ,they demean all victims of anti-semitism by trivializing real anti-semitism and what has happened to Jews throughout history.It`s also intellectually lazy and a dirty trick.

God help the ass who calls me an anti-Semite to me face,b/c I criticized the state of Israel.

It has been made perfectly clear that addressing the Holocaust and the fanatic campaign to eradicate all Jews is not a defense of Israel's government policies, because the 1880's European anti-semitic leagues, the pogroms from 1066 to the Lutheran bigotry of the 1540s, the 1940s Holocaust, and the 1928 Muslim Brotherhood death squads came before there was any government of Isreal to have a policy.  It  has always been about killing the Jews. 

People can indulge in revisionist history, and atrocity denial all they want, trot out forgeries like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, invoke the Rothschilds, cite David Irving, pretend that it isn't anti-semitism, whatever.... and the facts are still not going to change.


And those who stick to the facts and deal with the reality of how Zionism and the government of Isreal's attitudes came to be, are still going to be the only one's working toward peaceful solutions.

". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth. "
Dr.  Martin Luther King
 
"If Israel's critics are truly opposed to anti-semitism, they should not repeat traditional anti-semitic themes under the anti-Israel banner. When such themes - the Jewish conspiracy to rule the world, linking Jews with money and media, the hooked-nose stingy Jew, the blood libel, disparaging use of Jewish symbols, or traditional Christian anti-Jewish imagery - are used to describe Israel's actions, concern should be voiced. Labour MP Tam Dalyell decried the influence of "a Jewish cabal" on British foreign policy-making; an Italian cartoonist last year depicted the Israeli siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as an attempt to kill Jesus "again". Is it necessary to evoke the Jewish conspiracy or depict Israelis as Christ-killers to denounce Israeli policies? "

"That is the question. Considering that the Palestinians are directly attacking Israeli civilians and not even bothering to hide such a fact, it seems more than a little suspicious that the vast majority of criticism is heaped upon Israel when it inadvertantly kills Palestinian civilians. There is a clear double standard here. Israelis don’t celebrate IDF officers who kill Palestinian civilians. In fact, some of them have been expelled or jailed for excessive force. In the Palestinian Authority, parades are held in the honor of people who murder Jews. There can be no moral equivalence between a society that sees violence only as a means of self-preservation against horrible attacks and a society that sees violence as the best thing one can do and that openly calls for the extermination of the other side. Yet one would think based on the way the anti-Zionists view the situation that Jews were just waiting to destroy or enslave all the Palestinians.
Such a view can have only two explanations: ignorance or malice, and it is clear from the attitudes of many anti-Zionist groups that the latter is the case. When the EU has to suppress a report stating that there is a strong link between anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism its is clear that there is something going on that simply cannot be ignored."

Sometimes anti-Zionism is anti-Zionism. Much of the time it's anti-Jew.

And I apologize to kittenSol for using the word Jews.  I meant the Government of Isreal.



I recognise a good sentiment when I see one; thank you for expressing this. However, apologies shouldn't be directed at me. Remember the circumstances in which Israel was created; and remember that the land that's being disputed today had no clear status sixty odd years ago.

Peace, out



Indeed.

PS: HippieKinkster... thank you for your post.
