I note that you started your modern history lesson in 1947. Is there any reason you chose that date and not earlier - say 1946? Maybe you could have mentioned the Jewish terrorists such as Begin and how they murdered 91 innocent people in the King David Hotel? Is it not shameful that, today, the terrorist Begin is still considered a hero of Israel?

 

 

 

 

Not only did they honour the terrorist Begin, they made him a prime minister.

Strange how their resistance fighters are heroes, while those of the opposition are terrorists.

 Wow.....  91 dead back in 1946.  Horrible...yes I agree.  

        But I see you wish to play the leftist/socialist game of moral equivalency..  that's funny....but no surprise. 

 

   Now... let's see....  how many Israeli men, women, and children killed by Palestinian and other Islamic terrorists in Israel over the 70 years since then? 

 

 I think I read something about there being at least one or two suicide bus bombings and the slaughter of young pizza parlour customers ... and five or six rockets fired at Israeli civilian targets...  Or am I mistaken ? 

    What do you think ? ?  

How many Israeli non-combatants murdered by "palestinians" and other Islamic terrorists?

   Failure to mention that, unlike "palestinian" and other Islamic terrorist attacks, the Irgun..(group that carried out the King David Hotel blast) made, at a minimum, three warning calls about the blast beginning at least 25 - 27 minutes before the blast.  

   See: King David Hotel bombing....  Wikipedia....with references.  

 

    How often do "palestinian" and other Islamic terrorists call ahead to warn of explosions ? ?

Good response.

The great mystery is why people of Europe and America thought they actually had a right to dispossess certain landowners in favour of other people with only the claim that they used to live somewhere thousands of years ago. Would anyone now put up with that nonsense?

Thankfully it appears to be the last gasp of colonialism.

The other mystery is why anyone thinks "history" is a valid claim on land occupied by others. If that were a valid claim, I have a right to land in Africa ( as does every person on the planet ) due to ancestral occupation.

 

It is a "good response" if one buys into it. I don't. Can't recall posters (or rather, usual suspects) expressing as many objections and rejections with regard to supposed similar past sins of relevant Western powers elsewhere in the Middle East or even globally. The mystery, if anything, lies in the disproportional level of attention and emotion this specific conflict generates among some.

 

It is also a mystery (or not...) as to the same group of posters apparently having trouble accepting both present realities, or stop lamenting about a past (again, in a rather specific vein).

 

And a further observation would be that posters often insist on historical claims apply only to one party and/or insist on setting an arbitrary point in time, supposedly marking a line between the historical and the contemporary, to serve their own arguments. In some cases events 50, 100, 1000 or more are "relevant", in others they are dismissed.
