Reply #282: You may think the 1920 riots were organized but the evidence shows otherwise [View All]

.........you have claimed that many would disagree with me.....names?

I was merely pointing out that your use of “I doubt anyone would claim...” was pure hyperbole.....”Progressive Muslim” immediately jumped in to prove my point.

.........Dictators for one are not "chosen" they grab power, either by circumventing the process (hitler)

“Not chosen”?....Hitler became a dictator, mainly by the democratic process... Goering announced before the 1932 elections that they “...could be the last in Germany for a very long time”..... In 1933 the Reichstag voted 441 to 84 to give Hitler the power to suspend the German constitution.

.........so we can dispense with the nonsense the arab riots in different cities on the very same day was the result of mere individuals and just coincidence?

Nonsense???.....Let us look at the evidence:
1. The Palin Report into the 1920 riots stated:
“ That the Zionist Commission and the official Zionists by their impatience, indiscretion and attempts to force the hands of the Administration, are largely responsible for the present crisis.”

2. The Haycroft report into the 1921 riots stated:
“There was "no evidence worth considering" that the Jaffa riots were planned; "had that been the case, we hesitate to conjecture what the consequences would have been".

3. The Mandatory Report to the League of Nations,1934, stated:
“Musa Kazem Pasha ..... He earned the esteem of all sections of the population by his personal integrity and disinterestedness.”

4. In 1934, the Palestine Post reported that:
“The Falastin (newspaper) in addition to a photograph of the departed leader reprinted a number of pictures taken during the Jaffa riots in which the late President of the Arab Executive had been involved and also of the demonstration in Jerusalem which he headed.....”


You may think the 1920 Arab riots were organized, but a fair reading of the above, admittedly incomplete, evidence would indicate otherwise.....I see nothing that implies any Palestinian organization planned to murder Jews.... There is plenty of evidence that the far-better organized Zionists planned to disenfranchise a whole people....That decision by the Zionists eventually lead to the present conflict in which thousands have died.

I do love your little side-questions!

.............does your "universal justice" support those cultural traits or are your "universal traits" actually western values?... i think iran, saudi arabia, the taliban might disagree with you.....(are you saying their cultures have a justice system that is not "universal in character?

Universal Justice has nothing to do with cultural traits per se....Some cultural practices are clearly unfair and morally wrong, particularly those concerning women....Such practices should be condemned by everyone....Yes, you are correct in thinking that many of the laws in the Saudi Arabian, Iranian and Taliban justice systems are unfair, immoral and non-universal.....Saudi Arabia et al would probably disagree.

Now, having explored what my beliefs are based on, can you tell us what your beliefs based on?......Do you have a moral code or simply a nationalist/cultural creed?
