And as I pointed out in multiple posts over the years, there was no problem with migration during the First and Second Aliyah when the Jewish immigrants were applying to become citizens and their applications were granted.
No pogroms on the front page, that is.
Stop bullshitting.
If you have information about a pogrom in Palestine then
post it.
The problems arose later when some of the recently arrived immigrants came bearing arms and declaring their intentions to create an ethno-state in which 70-90% of the resident population would be excluded and/or forcibly removed.
Except there was no intent to exclude or remove them.
The Zionists who created, funded, and manned The Jewish Agency for Palestine had that intention. They followed through with it, too.
Stop feigning ignorance. You know about the fundraising, the arms shipments, Ben Gurion deciding ethnic cleansing was the only way to achieve a Jewish majority in the State he and his comrades wanted to create in Palestine, and all the planning and coordination between terrorist groups that made Plan Dalet a success.
Israel invited them to stay, the Arab neighbors told them to get out so they weren't caught in the fighting.
Support this claim.
What were the specifics of this alleged invitation? Who wrote it? To whom was it delivered, how was it delivered, and when was it delivered? How did Ben Gurion, Begin, Shamir, Weitz, and the other Zionist leaders who crafted Plan Dalet react to this invitation to Palestinians to stay?
Lehi used to kidnap Jews who weren't on-board with the ethnic cleansing. Did Shamir order his thugs to go after those Jews who made that offer? Was it linked to the assassination of Bernadotte?
Tell us more, Loren. Link to the
facts.
The change in government would not have hurt anyone other than in their feelings.
Pure bullshit. Also a flat out lie.
You know better. Even your best efforts at remaining ignorant of history have failed to keep you from learning about the reason the Transfer Committee of the Jewish Agency for Palestine was created and what it accomplished.
The Palestinians that are there now have full citizenship.
What a piss-poor attempt at a dodge.
You know about the work of the Transfer Committee. You know about the carefully planned campaign of ethnic cleansing and seizing of valuable property and infrastructure. You know Ben Gurion was arguing for seizing farmland and orchards in Galilee long before he and his cronies had the manpower and weapons to do it. And you know about the bombings, the murders, the drive-by shootings, the kidnappings, and acts of mayhem that preceded the Founding of Israel.
You're not a dumbass, Loren. Don't expect anyone to believe your dumbassery is genuine.
2) 1948 was about the Arab armies committing genocide against the Jews.
Bullshit squared.
The Arab armies did not engage in genocide against Jews. Not in their own countries, and not in other countries, either.
The whole intent of the war was genocide! The genocide of driving them out rather than the genocide of death, but it's still considered genocide.
Back up this claim, too.
You _
might_ be able to string together enough factual information regarding the intentions of the governments of Egypt, Transjordan, and Lebanon to make some kind of plausible argument but you're going to have to make an effort. And don't bother with that quote from that one Egyptian guy about driving European Zionists back into the sea from which they came. He wasn't a government official and had absolutely no say in government policy, much less setting goals for military campaigns.
Anyone who has participated in these discussions for at least a year has come across information on
Plan Dalet and the deliberate, premeditated ethnic cleansing carried out by Zionist forces when Israel was founded. If you want people to believe the Arab armies had a similar plan or carried out a campaign like that one, post a link that supports your assertions.
A few strategic areas people were driven out of. Not out of the whole territory.
The strategic areas were those identified in Plan Dalet. You can call them "a few" if you'd like. The area the Zionists wanted was contiguous, so you could even say it was "one" area. The take-away here is that you are aware of Plan Dalet, you have seen the link to information about it (even if you haven't read it), and we can now move on from that stupid stance you sometimes take where you pretend to not know the Zionists leaders who created Israel absolutely
did plan to harm the Palestinians, and the Palestinians knew it.
