Quote from dddooo:
In 1947 jews owned a fairly significant amount of land in Palestine (and please keep in mind that Palestine was not a country, nor it had ever been a country before. It was an piece of land populated by Arabs and Jews). When they partitioned Palestine in 1947/1948 they created a jewish state in the area with predominantly jewish ownership of the land and arab state in the area with predominantly arab ownership of the land. No one was stealing nothing, the arabs who lived and owned property in the jewish state were supposed to retain their property and become Israeli citizens (many did). The rest is the result of wars that Israel did not start but did win.
Who is they? "they partitioned Palestine in 1947/1948 they created a jewish state "
Did the Arabs agree to that?
"the arabs who lived and owned property in the jewish state were supposed to retain their property and become Israeli citizens "
Why should the arabs become Israeli citizens instead of Israelis become arab citizens?
What Jewish state? Did the Arabs agree to give up additional land to the Jewish state? and why should they recognize Israel as Jewish state.
And I still haven't seen a map from you on what land they legally owned before 1948 by willing arab sellers, and what land they occupied after 1948. If these 2 maps match, I'm all for supporting Israel. if not then the additional land is stolen by force and murder. If the arab occupants did not agree to give it up and was taken by force, then Israel is the brutal aggressor.
Did the arabs agree to that (so called partitioning)?
How would you like if someone comes into your backyard curves up your land, makes it his and kick you out?
Arabs and Jews per your own words (correct me if I'm wrong) were living peacefully side by side before 1948. Any suicide bombers ? NO. any attacks? NO
It's when Israel partitioned the land and displaced people from their homes killed the ones who were not willing to move, wasn't it then when the whole thingy started down there?
