Reply #12: And the Jewish people were kicked out of THEIR homes [View All]

TOO. Did you read that part? The Middle East is virtually judenrein. I'd say it's time to move on.

But for the record, some of the Sephardim - the "oriental" Jews who lost everything as revenge for the Palestinian diaspora, are now going to sue. This is not really for money, but to set the record straight. Few people, yourself obviously included, are aware of this little aspect of history.

As far as the flight of the Palestinians, I suggest you read CONTEMPORARY sources, such as Glubb Pasha, who lead the Arab Legion into battle in 1948. There's been a lot of revisionist and contradictory "history" written since. You should get some balance in your outlook.

I don't think ANYBODY knows the whole truth but one thing is certain: the charter of the new state EXPRESSLY offered full citizenship to EVERYBODY. And today, 1,000,000 or more of Israel's 6,000,000 citizens are Arab. Successive peace offers have been made, as recently as 1999, promising statehood, access to Jerusalem, even the settlements, and have been refused.

WHY didn't the Arabs accept the proferred olive branch in 1948? The first war did not have to happen. Everything - EVERYTHING - followed from that, from the attack by five massed armies. I've not mentioned the decades of murders before the state was ever created. You should study this, as well.

No doubt, that changed the outlook of the Israeli leaders. The old ideal - to live side by side with the Arabs - was shattered by hatred and fear. And then, there were the victims of the Holocaust. That wasn't part of the original plan, either.

I suggest you read some history. Study the Nazi, al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem, who served with Hitler, and was promised by Hitler, the right to wipe out every Jew in the Middle East. I'm posting a link from an ISLAMIC website - not all Muslims are radicals, you know - and yes I've checked out the credentials, and have done extensive research on al Husseini and the poison that he spread. And the connections with the Nazi philosophy still exist in the M.E. and of course, throughout the world.

Regardless of what happened, isn't it is time to find some CREATIVE solutions to the problems of the people who live in this region? The Arab solution has been to destroy the state of Israel. Is that what you would like to see?

I would like to see jobs, enterprise zones, creative (not reactionary) input from the Arab states, in the form of land and houses. These people are not different from Syrians, Egyptians or Jordanians. They should get help that doesn't involve a suicide bomber or a war.

I would like to see some creative input from the UN, from America, from the European states. What about YOU?

Here are two links. I have reams if you want more, articles on al Husseini from Germany, from Serbia. I have reams of links about the antisemitic garbage that is being spewed forth today.

The roots of this conflict are not exactly, I suspect, what you think they are.
