Cyrus, AZ, Nalin, Ahamalek, Tranceaholic
If Israel is "occupying" territories today, who was occupying them until 1967?
If the West Bank and Gaza belong to "Palestinians", why were they under the control of Jordan and Egypt until June 5, 1967?
If Arab "Palestinians" just want their own state, why didn't they ask for it before 1967?
Why is it, according to many articles written in 1967, that when the Arabs talked about "occupied territories", they meant all of Israel?

always with the same tired old rhetoric to justify occupation. The land called the Occupied Territories belongs to Arabs. The land called Israel wants to take it from them just like they took land in 1948-1949.
You people know what you did was wrong.
The best discussion of the Israel-Palestine question in my view is contained in the opening chapters of Robert Fisks "Pity the Nation" a book on the war in Lebanon but also covering the wider middle east.
In it he talked to people who lived at the time and what they went through. It is very compelling reading because he talks to ordinary people Jews and Arabs who were caught up in events they really had no control over and he goes to visit the places where those people lived fifty years on.
I would suggest to anyone who has even the remotest interest in the Middle East to read the first few chapters of Pity the Nation. Well read the whole thing if you can but it is a very large book.
So I challenge any Israeli or apologist of the same to read it and then come back here and smugly proclaim how the arabs have no legitimacy to their grievances.

The whole land of Israel was under the control of the Plastenians before 1967. I don't know where all the jews came from. I know this that under the United Nations resolution, United Kingdon relocated around XXX million jews to the newly appointed territories of Israel. And ever since then they've been expanding territories and expelling all the Palestinians. That is where all the animosity started. Hopefully someone will find a solution to this problem quickly and those ppl can go on with our lives in peace...... :P
I hope that answers most of ur questions.

| Originally posted by melech_mike This is the biggest load of shit I�ve heard in a while. First of all, the land of 'Israel' was always in the hands of the Jew's. Perhaps you meant to say the West Bank, and even that was in the hands of Jordan. The PLO wasn't even created until '65 or '67(unsure which)! Even before the State of Israel declared independence, there was over half a million Jews living there(British mandated Palestine[inhabited by both Jews and Arabs])! Your facts are way off. They are straight out WRONG! Don�t post your pathetic historical fallacies on the board kid. The United Kingdom didn't "relocate" anyone! Israel doesn't just "expand territory"; the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights were all taken when a handful of Arab nations declared war on the young State of Israel. Israel single-handedly overpowered destroyed the enemy armies and seized land captured in war. No one "expelled" any Palestinians... there is no such people(they're called Arabs). For arguments sake we can call those Arabs, Palestinians or whatever else you may want. I smell some hardcore bias shit hitting the fan here. The problem couldn't have started because of your above reason, no such things occurred! Don�t know if your just plain ignorant or purposely spreading your propaganda and lies - either way, smarten up! |

The Jews did not appear out of nowhere to populate Israel when it was created in 1948. There were Jews who were established in the region for centuries back and as early as the 1800's there were mass migrations of Jews to the region who purchased land from individual arabs in what was then a British colony ... not an independant, established country of any sort.
At any rate the entire region was labelled as something like trans-Jordan and it was essentially a smorgasbord of races, religions, and ethnicity. Melech is correct in that there was no signigicant Palestinian movement in the area for independance before Israel was created in 1948. And essentially, the territory they were ceded by the UN in 1948 by the UN were largely the areas that they legally purchased. Yes there were some soem territories that they did not own, but it was relatively insignificant. Take a look at the UN partition maps at the time. Israel was basically an ameobic blob that lacked any borders that even resembled a straight line. The reason why it resembles a rectangle today was as a result of land it acquired after all the Arab wars over the years. Ironically many of those wars were Arab initiated conflicts. It would be interesting to see what would have happened if the Arabs simply accepted UN partition lines.

The mojority of the world knows it the way i've describes. It seems to me that the only ones that have a problem with these facts are from a Muslim world. Zionist brainwashing... is that the best you can do? |
Dude calm the fuk down. First of all I apologize if my last post set ur panties on fire, but here are some facts which I hope will clears up some of the questions you asked....
1845: The number of Jews in Palestine is about 12,000.
1897: The Zionist movement is started in Basel, Switzerland. Zionism's goal was to establish "for the Jewish people a home in Palestine secured by public law".
1917 November 2: The Balfour declaration, a letter by the foreign secretary Arthur James Balfour to the English Zionist leader lord Rothschild, gives support to the Zionist case.
1918-39: The Jews organize their own social and political institutions, which exercise much control over their own population. Hebrew language is fostered, and the Hebrew University is founded in Jerusalem.
1922: The League of Nations adopt the Balfour declaration, and leaves Britain in charge of Palestine, and in assisting the Jews in "reconstituting their national home in that country". Jews represent 11% of the population in Palestine with their 85,000, compared to the 670,000 Palestinians.
1930s: Large influx of Jews, frightened by persecution in Germany. New towns and villages were created, hundreds of kibbutzes founded.
1931: 175,000 Jews and 860,000 Arabs live in Palestine (17%).
1936: Arab revolts against the constant Jewish immigration, but there was no suppression by the British forces until 1939. 385,000 Jews and 980,000 Arabs live in Palestine (28%) by now.
1937: Great Britian suggests that Palestine should be divided into a Jewish and an Arab state.
1939: The British impose a stop on the Jewish immigration. AT this time 450,000 Jews and 1,060,000 Arabs live in Palestine (30%)
1945: With the ending of World War II, and the horrors of holocaust were laid open, Zionist demands on self-government increased. From now on, illegal immigration to Palestine was organized.
1947: UN takes control over Palestine.
� November 29: A UN plan for dividing Palestine into two countries, one Jewish and one Arab, with Jerusalem as international zone, is presented. This plan was immediately met by violent protest from the Arabs. 590,000 Jews and 1,320,000 Arabs live in Palestine (31%).
1948 May 14: The new Jewish state, State of Israel, is proclaimed by the Jewish Provisional State Council. Chaim Weizmann becomes president, and the Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion the new prime minister. The secret Jewish army, Haganah, is declared as the new army of Israel.
� May 15: Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq join the Arab guerillas in fight against the Jews.
1948-51: Around 700,000 Jews immigrate to Israel.

The Israeli territory has increased from the 15,500 km� that the UN-resolution of 1947 gave them, to 20,700 km�. Gaza Strip becomes Egyptian, and the West Bank Jordanian. There had been 800,000 Arabs living in the area that now became Israel, and only 170,000 had been able to stay. The remaining hundreds of thousands, moved into refugee camps in neighboring countries.
1950: Due to the heavy immigration, the Israeli economy faces serious difficulties. Aid is provided by Jewish organizations around the world, and the US government.
1956: Israel attacks Egypt, and is joined by British and French troops. Israel is much motivated by the Egyptian blockade of ships calling at the Israeli port of Eilat. The British and the French are taking revenge after the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. The three countries had swift victories, but the UN, supported by both USA and the Soviet Union, intervened after few days. Towards the end of the year the three countries had left Sinai, but Israel still held forces in Gaza.
1957: Israel leaves Gaza, after USA had promised help to keep the Gulf of Aqaba open for ships calling at Israel.

1972: 11 Israeli athletes are killed by Palestinian guerrilla in the Summer Olympics of Munich, Germany.

� Demands from the Israeli military costs so much that the budgets are exceeded to an extent that national economy suffers for years to come.
1974: With the ghost of the Yom Kippur War, and facing the defeat in the parliamentary elections, Golda Meir is not capable of establishing a new government, and resigns.
� Yitzhak Rabin becomes new prime minister.
1977: When not being able to refute accusations on financial irregularities in the private economy, Rabin experiences a defeat in the parliamentary elections.
� Menachim Begin becomes new prime minister. A period of even more deterioration of the economy starts, despite new politics from Begin's conservative government.
� November 19: Visit to Jerusalem by the president of Egypt, Anwar as-Sadat, and the start of the peace process between Israel and Egypt.
1979 March 26: Camp David Agreement signed between Egypt and Israel. Israeli withdrawal from Sinai starts, and goes on for the next 3 years. The second part of the agreement, which dealt with autonomy for the Palestinians on Gaza Strip and the West Bank, is never observed from Israeli side.
