Again and again, this needs to be pointed out:
1. "Palestine" was under Ottoman rule and was not considered an entity. It was ruled in the form of different districts, and the people there were nothing but subjects who came and passed.
2. 1918-1948 Great Britain ran a MANDATE, NOT A STATE, in this region to establish a Jewish state, but later changed into two separate states, one Jewish, one Arab. They announced the plan in 1947, which enraged the Arabs who wanted ALL OF IT and started a civil war, although the Jews purchased their lands. Apparently, being given a state that they would never have received under the Ottoman Empire wasn't good enough.
3. 1948: Civil war escalated. Jews declared Israel. Arabs declared war on Israel with the aim of GETTING RID OF THE JEWS AND TAKING THE ENTIRE LAND!!!
Guess what? THEY LOST BADLY!
So, Israel took more than initially assigned. Egypt occupied Gaza, Jordan occupied and ANNEXED the West Bank.
During THIS civil war and war, the "nakba" happened, which is the flight and expulsion of Arabs who were not allowed to come back. It didn't happen because Israel didn't want Arabs.
4. 1967: Israel responded to Arab states, which were lining up troops and instating blockades, by declaring war, which resulted in occupying large amounts of land.
5. 1973-1983 Israel gave Sinai back to Egypt in return for peace and recognition.
6. Israel was officially in control of Gaza and the West Bank but worked toward self-governance for the Palestinian Arabs, which even led to Israel recognizing the Palestinian Authority as a legitimate government under which Palestine could become a sovereign state.
7. 2005: Israel completely left Gaza and removed all Jewish settlements, some by force. Israel left a blockade in place that would be gradually lifted. Gaza elected Hamas, which had the clear mission of wanting to ERADICATE THE JEWS and DESTROY ISRAEL and NEVER MAKE PEACE, from where it went downhill.
- Israel did not "steal" land at any point.
- Israel gave land and autonomy to work toward peace
⬇️⬇️⬇️
- Gaza & West Bank are only autonomous entities today because Israel ALLOWED it, which, as it seems now, was probably a bad decision.
⬆️⬆️⬆️
- If Israel was the genocidal bad guy, there would be no "Palestinians" left after 1967.
Be a bit grateful or at least honest!
🚀The world gave Gaza $40 Billion, Hamas leaders kept billions and used the rest for terror tunnels, rocket launchers, and hate indoctrination. The UN and NGOs stood by and let it happen.
🚀Million have been killed in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan -- but nobody marched in the streets. The obsession with Gaza is fueled solely by religious hate.
🚀Arabs launched their jihad colonization efforts 1300 years ago by killing Jews in Saudi Arabia and eventually occupied, and ethnically cleansed nearly the entire Middle-East.
🚀Israel is just 0.3% of the Middle-East and is the only place minorities are free. Both Rome and Mecca created state religions that wiped out or suppressed all minority faiths.
🚀The conflict is solely about jihad, replacement theology, and religious hate. Jihadist culture supports creating webs of lies to hide its' intentions.
🚀The only way to real peace is to remove hate indoctrination and extremism from all aspects of our societies. May we do so quickly!
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have reportedly told the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas that he must Resign as President and Dissolve the current Government in order to Appoint a Saudi and UAE-Approved Government, or else they will Halt all further Financial Aid to the Palestinian Territories.
10 Things you Weren't Taught about the Conflict in Israel
1. Arabs launched a massive world conquest 1400 years ago, taking most of the Middle East, and much of Africa, Europe, and Asia. They ethnically and culturally cleansed everywhere they went.
2. Rome and Mecca created state religions borrowing heavily from existing traditions. including Judaism, which they theologically sought to replace. Both empires sought to control minds, institutionalizing xenophobia and persecuting minorities.
3. State temples often replaced sacred sites in conquered areas. Zeus was placed in Jerusalem, and later mosques. Thousands of temples were destroyed or replaced across the Middle-East, India, and Europe. Ancient Judean kings previously destroyed Goddess temples.
4. The West has not exorcised it's hatred of Jews and pagans institutionalized by Rome. The global Muslim society is openly and brazenly antisemitic and xenophobic.
5. Judeans are indigenous to Judea. Arabs are from Arabia. The conflict isn't about land, it's about political control using religion and hate.
6. Arabs in Judea are part of general Arab culture, which controls 99%+ of the Middle-East. "Palestina" was the Roman name for Judea, which the British adopted, and Arabs only started using in the 1960s.
7. After WWI and the Ottomans' fall, the League of Nations and British re-dedicated the mandate as Jewish homeland. At the last minute, 77% was given to Arabs (now Jordan). The Arabs wanted 100% and have been fighting for it ever since.
8. The Arabs near Israel are used by the greater Arab world as disposable pawns to ethnically cleanse other faiths. They're indoctrinated with extremism from youth.
9. The Arab world sees this militancy as useful, but don't want it in their own societies, generally not accepting them as refugees.
10. The conflict is fueled by hate indoctrination and religious intolerance. Eliminating this is the only way to peace. The higher meaning of jihad is said to be self-perfection. May we aspire to evolve ourselves and our societies towards peace, tolerance, and mutual prosperity.
Israel, despite its faults and awful leadership, is a pluralistic society where women, LGBTQ members and others live equally. Gaza is run by Hamas, a repressive theocracy that would line up to murder the very woke college students who suddenly find common cause with it.
Kidnapping children is despicable and wholly unjustifiable. For obvious reasons, this picture has hit home with me. May Noya and all hostages taken by Hamas be returned soon, safely, to their families.
