and of course, the Jewish people.
Or is it?
Lets look back in history, shall we?
Balfour Declaration of 1917 basically agreed to set aside 10% of the region for a Jewish homeland.
Now of course, the Arabs were dismayed because they felt that since they rebelled against the Ottoman Empire to help the British in WW1, they should rule the entire region, Jews be damned.
For 30 years following the Balfour Declaration the Arab side said no to every offer of compromise on the British Mandate for Palestine. It continued saying no despite Britain setting aside about 80% of the Mandate for the Emirate of Transjordan (1922) and the Peel Commission recommending a two-state solution for the remaining 20% (1937). In other words, the Middle East conflict is about 10% of mandatory Palestine. That’s what the Arabs deny the Jews. They’ve had 90% all along.source
At midnight, May 14, 1948, the British mandate over the region expired, the next day the State of Israel was declared. The surrounding Arab states declared war five hours later.
Those Arab countries made it clear they would destroy Israel and its citizens.
This thought has been repeated by various Arab leaders since 1948.
Yup, since it was formed in 1948, Israeli forces have been going out of their way to kill Palestinians and Arabs every chance they got. And they were sneaky about it, they let terrorists and Arab countries attack and kill innocent civilians just so they would have an excuse to kill more non Jews.
Now that is a conspiracy, letting your own people get killed for 66 years just so you have a reason to kill the people that are killing your people.
“Of all the forms of murder, none is more monstrous than that committed by a state against its own citizens. The homicidal state shares one trait with the solitary killer -- like all murderers, it trips on its own egoism and drops a trail of clues which, when properly collected, preserved and analyzed are as damning as a signed confession left in the grave.”
-- Forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow, speaking before the May 1984 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The Balfour declaration was a Zionist declaration, not just a Jewish one and there is a very big difference.
"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there is no chance. So, it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipe us out." David Ben-Gurion, modern Israel’s first Prime Minister
During an argument between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, at a well-attended cabinet meeting held on October 3, 2001, twenty-two days after the 9/11 attacks on America, Peres said that Israel’s policies of continued violence might "turn the U.S. against us." To this, Sharon retorted: "Every time we do something, you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear – Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel; we, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
-- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (IAP News)
Since the declaration of the Israeli state in 1948 and even before...look at what has happened to Palestine.
Prepared to read the objective history going back a little of the Romans ? British and Jewish betrayal with American support ?
Look at the map, the green is/was Palestine. Then...click on the map. Here
