@KhalilJeries The genocide accusation is consistently the opinion of Jew haters & history revisionists, not a universal standard.
Even Hamas’ own numbers suggest a ~1:2 combatant–civilian ratio, totally undermining claims of intent.
This is a "Jews started the Black Plague" type of nonsense.
@mehdirhasan Iraqi Jew who was expelled through state-sponsored persecution now has Israeli citizenship.
Arab from Haifa who fled voluntarily despite the Jewish mayor offering protection now has Jordanian citizenship.
The descendants of one still considered refugees, but not the other. WHY?
@emptyingthecup@MouinRabbani 4 truths genetics does not dispute:
-Several Arab immigration waves entered Palestine from across the ME.
-Palestinians are not necessarily indigenous to the land.
-Palestine was never an identity & has no political history.
-Ashkenazi Jews' ancestral connection to the land.
@emptyingthecup@MouinRabbani 2% in 1931 is ~15K, before the Hauran migration wave & likely excluding nomadic tribes. It doesn't refute the ~10K per decade estimate.
The post-1830 surge is a consensus among historians.
Jews are deflection. The issue is the fabricated “time immemorial” Palestinian narrative.
@LibyaLiberty@AdamRFisher You're wrong. Palestinian identity is a modern concept, adopted by Arabs, many of whom descendants of post 1830 immigrants. They have no political history, no historic leaders, no battles they fought & no national monuments.
Hence the attempt to fill the gap with fabrications.
@LibyaLiberty@AdamRFisher These situations are not comparable.
Jews have a universally acknowledged historical & cultural connection to the land, with a continuous presence there for over 2,000 years.
They also legally purchased land at scale and received an international mandate to establish a state.
@emptyingthecup@MouinRabbani You’ve proven my point. If average immigration was ~10K per decade & the surge began in the 1830s, that makes ~100K immigrants by 1940.
Now calculate natural growth factor on these 100K & you get a majority that is relatively recent arrivals, not "time immemorial" communities.
@LibyaLiberty 48 war started in Nov 30 (47) when an Arab gang from the Abu Kishk clan attacked a Jewish bus killing 7.
This clan immigrated to the land in the 18th century from Egypt & left back during the war.
They were newcomers, aggressors & left by their own choice.
Nakba in a nutshell.
@Nadeer_Khan Imagine the audacity of launching a declared war of annihilation against Jews just 3 years after the Holocaust, then calling yourselves “survivors” after failing to achieve that genocidal goal.
If anything, the true survivors of the "Nakba" are the State of Israel & the Jews.
