| Hamas To 'Never Forgive' Britain For Enabling Creation Of Israel |
| 2016-05-16 |
| [Breitbart Jerusalem] TEL AVIV ‐ Hamas will "never forgive" the United Kingdom for enabling the creation of Israel, a spokesperson for the Gaza-based terror group said Saturday, Arutz 7 reported. "Britain conquered the land of Palestine and was the first to support the ’Nakba,’ " Yasser Ali, an official representing Hamas’ Palestinian refugees, told Palestine Magazine. "Nakba," the Arabic term for "catastrophe," refers to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. "[Britain] helped establish the entity of Israel on the ruins of the historic land of Palestine, which resulted in expulsion of the Palestinians after they are slaughtered and killed dozens of massacres [sic]." "Any harm to the Palestinian people during the Nakba, including pain and suffering, were caused by Britain and its allies, and our people cannot forget that," Ali continued. According to the report, the official also claimed that the ’Nakba’ validated a Palestinian Right of Return, fulfilling the prophesies of Muhammad, in which hundreds of thousands of descendants of those who fled their homes in 1948 ‐ including terrorists from the Gaza Strip and elsewhere ‐ will flood Israel. This is't the first time Hamas has blamed the UK for Israel's existence. Last year on Nakba Day, which coincides with Israel's Independence Day, Hamas official Essam Adwan stated that Britain "paved the way" for a "Zionist takeover," and called on the UK to pay reparations to "avenge the injustice." |

| #8 First of all, if Hamas will never forgive... then why mess with them? The Brits have enough on their plate without the Pal problem. Second of all, the Brits really didn't care who ran Palestine until after WWII. Then they fought the Jews for independence, and lost. As for Darth, you sound like Newc. I like the I's. I wouldn't mind it at all if they let us good Christians resettle the occupied lands. Of course there is nothing more dangerous than a Christian Evangelist! |

| #7 I don't think the ones that migrated in at that point weren't as jihad happy and I suspect their descendants are the Israeli Arabs that have been part of the Israeli government for most of its history. It really isn't until the Arab wars that started the day after Israeli independence that found Israel in control of areas with a population of hostile Arabs that the Arab nations wouldn't take back. |

| #6 Fast forward a bit more and Arabs showed up to join in that economy. They probably could join if the could turn their thoughts to anything besides killing the Juice. |

| #5 Back in the day Mark Twain traveled to Palestine and described it as basically empty of people. Fast forward to the Zionist movement and the Jews started moving in and creating an economy. Fast forward a bit more and Arabs showed up to join in that economy. |

| #3 Britain did as much as it could to prevent the establishment of Israel, then much that should have caused the new country to fail in the face of five invading Arab armies. "The sun never sets on the British Empire." And they've never gotten completely over it. |

| #2 Britain conquered the land of Palestine and was the first to support the âNakba,â Not even close. The Ottoman Turks acquired the Holy Land during their conquest of the Cairo-based Mameluk empire in the late 15th-early 16th centuries. In the 20th century the decayed Ottoman empire chose the losing side in World War I, and so the League of Nations formalized the Allied administration of the defeated country by giving the Holy Land, among other properties, to Britain with the mandate to prepare them for independence. In those days it was the Jews who were referred to as Palestinian, the local Arabs insisting they were part of the greater Arab nation rather than a particular people. The Brits didn't have to exert themselves to conquer "Palestine", it fell into their hands like one grape in a bunch. As for the Nakba, despite the Balfour Declaration of 1917 promising a Jewish homeland, the Foreign Service and post-Churchill British governments were strongly inclined toward Arab desires in the matter, it being much about oil. Britain did as much as it could to prevent the establishment of Israel, then much that should have caused the new country to fail in the face of five invading Arab armies. |
