In 1927 British and Empire troops captured Palestine from the Turks. In a return for Jewish help it was arranged that a national home would be found for Jewish settlers and for the Arabs they would receive an Arab state! This was in Palestine, virtually it was to be an Arab homeland with a large Jewish minority. The Arabs were not estatic, but as they had lived cheek by jowl along side the europeans, with some acrimony , with British help, they lived in comparitive harmony! never fully peaceful the two races endured each other's company. Then, there was trouble at mill, the immigrants from Europe flooded in to the middle east and the Arabs began to look askance at the newcomers, even more so they began to listen as the Zionist organisations began to claim free entrance to the Holy Land. After the war the promise was still of a home for jews in an Arab land, but more and more the Zionist organisations, the Likud, claimed their own state, no longer willing to share, even someone's homeland they wanted them out! It was like a Cuckoo and the nest situation!
Eventually the Zionist militants started a reign of terror shooting policemen, bombing British soldiers and terrorising the Arabs. The trouble was the Arabs were not allowed by the British Government to defend themselves or even prepare for a defence. It wasn't that the british were unaware of Arab rights, or the wrongs being done to the arab people, it was that they were pressured by the American Government and their fear of the Jewish Lobby back home in the states. The result was that under pressure from their voters
the british Government did a runner and lin conjunction with the UN, decreed a two state solution, PARTITION! They gave Arab Land away!
As the British left under both Jewish and US pressure, the arabs unarmed, untrained and ill prepared applied to the Arab League for help. It was like asking a blind and deaf football team to play at Wembley! !00 for Israel and 10 for the Palestinians. Apart from the Jordanians, it would have been better if the League armies had stayed at home. The well rained and armed Israelis defeated them with very little trouble! But for all the Jewish experience in the war in Europe, the new Israeli state embarked on a phase of ethnic clearing that lasted some 50yrs on and off. The Arabs, hapless and unorganised either politically or militarily were pushed out of most of what land they had saved from the 1948 debacle. In stead of their own state, they were pushed in to enclaves and about a million Arabs were in exile over the middle east, while Israel got rich and well trained in arms through US help and British political subservience to the dollar!
The United Nations under American Dominance passed resolution after Resolution but the cause of the Arab Palestinians waned like water on a hot plate! The result now, after struggle after struggle is that they are now split between those in Gaza settlements, hemmed in by a huge wall and Israeli forces, who virtually shoot at will and those in the remnant of Palestine driven in to a chequered series of villages overawed and bullied by the State of Israel , its like a Goolag in the Sun.
Now in another attempt at freedom they have applied for their own state to be recognised, America has opposed it, the creep of a president can't afford to offend the Jewish Lobby, the UK Cretins of all parties won't offend the Americans. The latest word on the streets is that there has to be discussions, what about? The discussions were finished, or abrogated by Israel's seizure of Arab Land in 1948 and 1967! What should be done is that the Israeli settlers be cleared off the West Bank and Gaza freed from Israeli siege and the eastern or Arab part of Jerusalem returned to its rightful owners. As for Israel, after 60 odd years of political vandalism they should return to the borders of 1967 after the Arab /Israeli war of that time. Their borders supported by American Strength and dollars.
