What? Palestine has had Jews ever since the Arab conquest.
Uh... There had been numerous massacres before Arab involvement in the war. Remember Dier Yassin?
Uh... What? Israel definitely didn't return that land because they wanted to. Just look at the Golan Heights.
And? Babylonian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine conquests? Crusades? Ottomans deporting them from Tel Aviv and Gaffa? We just went over this, keep up.
Remember the Hebron massacre in 1929 and 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine that I mentioned? Remember the Hebron massacre of 1834? 1921 Jaffa riots? Stop playing games.
"According to the Israeli Yehoshafat Harkabi, Plan Dalet called for the conquest of Arab towns and villages inside and along the borders of the area allocated to the proposed Jewish State in the UN Partition Plan.[4] In case of resistance, the population of conquered villages was to be expelled outside the borders of the Jewish state. If no resistance was met, the residents could stay put, under military rule.[qt 1][5][6][7]"
Nonviolent occupation under UN sanctions. Really spooky stuff.
You're going to have to provide sources for this. You're genuinely coming across as extremely predisposed to pardon any attempt of complete, violent obliteration by Israel's neighbors. It's fascinating to watch though.
Those are all Europeans. They have 0 relation to anybody in the region today (except the Ottomans who are in kind of a weird spot).
Nonviolent. Nonviolent? Do you believe what you just said?
Uh... Egypt had to declare a whole other war to get Israel to give back Sinai. The Golan heights are effectively Israeli territory today. Palestinians needed the first Intifada to get a semblance of nominal independence. Israel never gave back anything willingly.
Anyway I won't engage any further, but you need some serious introspection if you actually believe the nonsense you just said.
You're the one living in lala land where the British didn't over promise after the collapse of an empire and you'll only condemn one side of alleged genocide. It was just those filthy colonizers.
I don't believe it, I know it. The sources are very clear. And I can find many more examples of Jews being treated like second class citizens by Arabs, not just Europeans. How preposterous for you to even refute. Ever heard of a dhimmi? You want to talk about apartheid then let's talk about that instead of you making baseless claim after baseless claim.
