The province of Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire then briefly a part of a united Mandate with Transjordan ruled by Britain and then it was splits into the Mandates of Palestine and Transjordan. It was never its own country since the Romans conquered the Jews 2000 years ago. There never was independence since the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and scattered the Jews all over their empire.
Of course people lived there on towns and farms, it wasn't uninhabited land.
And that's the point. Who cares what political subdivision was recognized by what nation at what time? Whether they were part of this empire or that nation or under British control, it was the land inhabited by the people called Palestinians. If Jews immigrated to Florida over the next decade or two and decided to take over,Florida, would you argue that Florida was never really a nation? Of course not. An invasion is an invasion. It was the Palestinian's land and the Jews invaded.
Zionist Jews somehow managed to migrate to the Mandate for the first half of the 20th century without attacking Arabs. Meanwhile you had the Gaza riots of 1929 that ethnically cleansed Gaza of Jews and the Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 that tried to do the same for the whole of the Mandate but failed.
More misinformation. Israel was born by terrorism. One of the funniest things ever is seeing Zionist Jews whine about terrorism, when the Jews have always been major terrorists. Read the United Nation's Bunche Report
A Summary of Zionist Terrorism in the Near East — 1944-1948
There were some Jews who wanted to remove all non-Jews from the Mandate, just like there were Arabs who wanted to remove all Jews. Difference is it was a small minority of Jews backing kicking out all the non-Jews while just like today a majority of Arabs then wanted to ethnically cleanse all the Jews out of Palestine.
There are a lot of Israeli's who fight against the racist policies of Israel. Unfortunately they are the minority. Were they the majority, Israel would not behave as it does now.
And? Jews aren't allowed to buy land or something?
Sure they can. But that's not what they did. They bought enough land to get a foot hold, then stole the rest.
Except it is the land of Israel, Begin was speaking rhetorically. Look up that word in a dictionary okay?
Were it the land of Israel, Jews would not have needed to invade it. It wasn't. It was the land of Palestine. Look up a map from the early 1900s, okay?
David Ben-Gurion's opinion was just that: an opinion. So what?
Right....the man known as Israel's founding father....just an opinion. LOL
Funny, Jews had a conniption fit when Khomeini said "‘This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history.'” Such incredible angst over one man's opinion, eh?
So what? He said the generation that declared Israel's independence was a generation of colonizers. Which technically is incorrect since there was no home country but that's beside the point. Most of Israel's Jewish population was not born in Israel. So what?
Colonizers? "Before [the Palestinians] very eyes we are possessing the land and the villages where they, and their ancestors, have lived. " That's invasion, not colonization. It's not like the Jews were buying the land either.
So what? Did the Arabs leave the country? 1 million in Gaza, 3 million in the West Bank, another 1.5-2 million in Israel today.
I could say the same thing about the Holocaust. Did the Jews leave Europe? Thousands in Dachau, a million in Auschwitz, another million scattered among other camps. So what, right?
Both BDS and the idea of boycotting Israel in general are anti-Semitic and are the pet projects of people who are not called Nazis only because they don't wear swastikas. BDS is a Nazi movement. Boycotting Israel is a Nazi movement. The Arabs themselves are generally speaking non-Aryan Nazis. Take the side of Nazis all you want, I'm sticking with the Jews. I will never support a single concession to the Arabs until they give up on being Nazis. Which they never will. Denazification requires the Nazi society to be completely crushed with all hope gone and Israel has repeatedly held back precisely when it was in a position to do just that.
Sure, they are Arab Nazis. But Zionists are nothing but Jewish Nazis, so what's the problem? They are racist Jewish supremacists who look at all other races as their cattle. Let me know if you want me to start quoting Rabbis. Their Holy Book, The Talmud teaches that Rabbis can have sex with three year old girls. I have a Soncino Version in my basement. I can start quoting from that too, if you want. Don't get me wrong. Not all Jews buy into the twisted religion of Rabbinical Judaism, i.e. Zionism, but those who do have brainwashed most of their rank and file Yiddish brethren into believing everyone else is out to get them. and that they must all unite together against the rest of humanity. Zionists are the anti-humans.
BTW, BDS doesn't support boycotts against Jews, so it can't be antisemitic. It only boycotts Israeli products. Nice lie, er, I mean, nice try.
