Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.
There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.
After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.
During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.
Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.
Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.
@faisalkutty Who says u can’t criticize a foreign country? You can. But it is wrong to paint an entire group of people with a broad brush. Otherwise people would say ALL Muslims are Islamic Fundamentalist Zealots who follow the Koran word for word and seek to conquer the world.
@Algemeiner@ChrisVanHollen so…. Muslims k!ll Jews and they get what they want. Hmmmmm, they are k!lling Christians throughout Africa (but no campus protests) so do you, #SenVanHollen want to give Muslims an ISIS State in Africa too?
@socialistintj@luxeprogressive@TrackAIPAC No no no. You got that backward. Criminal loving Dems changed it from illegal alien to undocumented. Just look at footage from the 1990s.
