The "Nakba" Myth

In 1947, Palestine was 67% Arab and 33% Jewish. And yet, the UN Partition Plan gave 56% of the land to the Jews.

Now, if you were an Arab in 1947, how would YOU have reacted to such a deal?

This was the airstrike committed without any warning on a country who were not at war or expecting war.

Is that why Egypt was amassing troops at the border and sending commandos to Jordan, they didn't expect a confrontation? :rolleyes:


Your propaganda unfortunately doesn't match history.
But you Zionist apologists don't actually seem to care about reality.

You don't seem to care much about context, and you ignore everything that happened before that lead to the operation.

The Zionist apologist that i replied to stated the Arabs started the war.

They did NOT, a sneak attack by airstrike to destroy the aircraft on the ground was the first act of war, however you try to handwave the FACTS away.

And you're still ignoring everything that happened leading up to that attack.
 
I know if I was an Arab in 1947, I would have thought the UN Partition Plan was pretty unfare. Just based on the numbers.

The Jews were given a much higher percentage of the land than their current percentage of the population, due to the assumed numbers of immigrants that would come from Europe.

Did they consider the numbers of Arabs that might move to the Arab state? It appears not.

Giving the Jews a place of refuge was the right and moral thing to do. But NOT on the backs of Arabs who had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
 
Alot of things that happened throughout history have been unfair. Are we going to have to dwell on it for six more decades?

It is you that is ignoring the simple fact that my reply was to someone else who had stated that the ARABs had started the war among other falsities.

The airstrike WAS the first act of war, therefor it WAS the Israelis WHO started the war, comprende.

Your handwaves about provocation, Israeli victimisation etc, are a smokescreen from just another Zionist apologist as far as i am conderned.

You obviously concede the point then, if a spelling error is the best you can reply with.

That point just to clarify is that Israel committed the first act of war with the sneak attack, namely the airstrike.

http://zionism-israel.com/dic/Operation_Focus.htm



Operation Focus (or "Moked" (Hebrew: מוקד . Pronounced "Mo Kehd" - meaning "Focus.") was the Israel Air Force operation that opened the Six day war, destroying most of the Egyptian air force on the ground in the space of a few hours. Operation Focus (Moked) is of great importance in the study of air strategy and set a very high standard for subsequent air war operations in Israel.

edited to add from same article, the we were the victims rhetoric.

Israel could not maintain full mobilization indefinitely and perceived that it had to act before Egypt acted or established a diplomatic fait accompli.

Wow, you deliberately left out a big important chunk of that article there.

Good job. :rolleyes:

THEY were not expecting war, they were going the diplomatic route.

Egypt acted or established a diplomatic fait accompli.

Israel decided to pre-empt Egypt by attacking on the morning of June 5, 1967. The plan for Operation Focus had been evolving since about 1963, evidently based on an idea by former IAF commander Dan Tolkovski.
