| Al-Jazeera's "History of Palestine" |
| 2005-01-10 |
| A country linked to prophets, historical richness and continuous civilisation dating back thousands of years, Palestine is overwhelmed by a bitter conflict caused by a lengthy Israeli occupation. Check out that sweet "map of Palastine" they have...oh wait thats all of Israel! ...Israeli gangs that led a guerrilla war on Palestinians and Britain, including various terrorist bombings, joined in forming the first Israeli government. Pot, kettle, black? ...The declaration of a state also meant a large-scale ethnic cleansing of thousands of Palestinians. The Israeli move is still considered the roots of the Palestinian refugee problem. Oh, you don't mean that six-at-a-time gangbang invasion fron Egypt, Syria, and Jordan et al? ...Disorganised and with a limited mandate, troops from Egypt, Syria and Jordan entered Palestine to prevent the mass exodus of Palestinians and to counter the Israeli army's violence... Oh THATS what they were trying to do, not drive the new israeli government into the mediteranean sea like they said they were going to do (i guess they were joking at the time)... The war proved disastrous. Despite the steadfastness of the resistance, nearly one million Palestinians were made homeless, while much of the historical land of Palestine was now part of the new state of Israel. Oh really? And who started it? Oh yea not that simultaneous invasion from six different arab countries, of course not... ...Between the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe) and the current uprising, al-Aqsa Intifada, several major Arab-Israeli wars were fought of which the question of Palestine was a central component. All started by guess who? There's more, but I'm feeling sick just thinking about this gratiuitous load of misinformation... |
