Reply #269: You think the 1921 Jaffa riot was a welcoming party for Zionists? [View All]

[kayecy]

......the prevailing conditions of the 20th century was not that anti semitism was alive and well, but that it was going to take on monsterous proportions

But it was not going to take on monstrous proportions in the USA.

....and the zionists were actually quite right in their prediction (you seem to ignore that little fact)

Are you proposing we discuss the fortune-telling skills of the pre-1923 Zionists?

....so, yes the European jews were in a real fix.....some "woke up late" after 1923 (perhaps they at first agreed with your version of the "prevailing condition")

By 1923, Zionists had been making an immoral choice for 30 years....After that date, one could argue that they had no choice....However that still does not negate my claim that Zionism was immoral and was the main cause of the conflict.

....how did they "resist" this invasion?

The Palestinians resisted this immigrant invasion in the only way they could...they rioted and later began shooting etc at individual Zionist immigrants...This developed into a general conflict with both sides killing civilians....

......... your saying that only individuals were violent, so what evidence was there of this general "resistance". (Was it their support of the violent ones?)

Are you claiming that there was no general resistance to the Zionist ‘invasion’?....You think the 1921 Jaffa riot was a welcoming party?
