How nice you are all arguing over us. Deciding who's right, who's wrong, who'll get the land, who won't. Who are you to judge us?
The Jews never left Israel/Palestine you know, the whole lot didn't get up and wander off, many left yes but always there's been Jews in the Holy Land. did I say left? No, thats not correct even, they were driven out. And dear god didn't the world make us suffer for it. There's barely a country in the world that hasn't had a pogrom or rules that says Jews shall not or turned us away in our hour of need. We were given Isreal because of guilt were we? No, Israel is ours by right. We didn't drive Arabs out, in the beginning they sold their land, it was dry and useless, Jews made it green and productive, the Arabs wanted their land back. The Nazi idealogy took hold, kill Jews was the mantra. And kill Jews they did, all over Europe and in the Middle East where the Mufti had spread his poisonous message.
After the war, survivors from the camps needed to go somewhere, some went back to their 'home's to find in Poland for example the locals living in them, in some cases the locals killed them. All that was left was to go to somewhere that had been promised, what was called Palestine.
I will touch on the King David bombing and the Irgun terrorism. The British at that time were cracking down very hard on anyone trying to get into the country, can you imagine coming out of a concentration camp, travelling on foot through Europe looking for that last hope just to be put in another concentration camp in Cyprus? Jews had fought and died along side the Allied troops all through the war only to find their colleagues turning against them. The British took the weapons off the Jewish settlers already there and armed the Arabs, the Foreign Office policy was and is pro Arab not pro Jewish. Britain didn't want the Jews there.
Now imagine coming out of the concentration camps that you'd been put in as a child, you've watched mindless and unimaginable horrors and become totally dehumanised, you've lost every memeber of your family. The Jews from the Haganah have smuggled you into Palestine where you work for them but thats not enough for you, there's nothing normal about you anymore, violence, extreme violence is the only way to make others pay for everything so you go join the Irgun where the others are like you, you blow up the King David Hotel because the British are about to hang several of your comrades. Because there is a scrap of humanity left in someone the British are warned, BUT THEY IGNORE THE WARNING and many are killed.
The world Zionist organisations and the rest of Jewry condemned the violence, the Irgun and the Stern Gang were undoubtedly very violent and weren't supported by all but heres the thing, when you come down to it, as Jews you still blame us all. It was the Jews you cry as the cry has been for all these long years. The Jew did it. the Jews are killing the children, the Jews take our jobs, the Jews are responsible for everything wrong in our world. See the Jews kill the Arab children goes up the cry,see the Jews take our land, see how they kill us. And you do, you believe that we took their land instead of them selling it to us, you believe we stole their homes when the Mufti called them to leave them instead. You believe that Israel is wrong to defend itself. Because you believe Israel is wrong.
War is dirty, war is hell you can't make it clean and only have soldiers die, you can't have a one sided peace treaty, for years the Arabs have been firing rockets into Israel killing civilians, suicide bombers have been blowing themselves up and innocents too, many Arabs have died this way, the killing is indescriminate. Yet Israel is to blame. is this anti Semitism or are you believing that the Arabs are lesser people and don't know right from wrong therefore the Israelis must be the ones held accountable?
Israel has a right to exist, the right that everyone else takes for granted. Our people have been there since Biblical times. I know many people who have relatives there who have never left Israel in over two thousand years. It was never an Arab country, it was actually owned by the Turks not the Arabs and then the British took it over, it was never an Arab country.
My thanks and gratitude to all who support Israel, never think it's not appreciated.
