Short History of Palestine-Israel Conflict Part2

A Short History of the Palestine-Israel Conflict told by an ACC History professor. He explains how the conflict does not originate from religion, but from the Israeli's aggressive occupation and violent land grab of the Palestinian's home land. The conflict started in 1947-48 when the Zionist began to steal the land from the Palestinians, contrary to what many people think, the conflict does not go back 1000s of years and is not based on religious reasons. This took place as part of the National Day of Action for Gaza in Austin Texas.

Lets leave it to whom committed and planed this ethnic cleansing.

Moshe Dayan addressing the Technion, Haifa (as quoted in Ha’aretz, 4 April 1969):

“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.”

"the arabs counldnt accept this so resisted this, the israelis responded by fightig, it bacame a war".

what a nice history twist. The arabs attacked, not the israelis.

The maps are twisted.

The most left one described the historical land of Israel the biblical Israel.

The concept Palestine came to live only during the time of the British mandate .

Also claiming that once there was peaceful life and harmony between Jews and Muslims is a miss perception.

That was perhaps the true when Islam was just invented 1500 years ago. As time went by, Islam evolved to something completely different a culture that cant co-exist with Judaism or Christianity.

It is truly amazing how the Palestinians managed to gain land back in Gaza and West Bank, and it was only the demographic factor (their numbers) which scared the israelis.

No Israeli can see israel complete without the West Bank and Gaza. Israeli maps are still printed showing the West Bank and Gaza, still, as part of Israel.

The Oslo peace agreement was very essential for Israel to guarantee its survival for the next ~50 years, by staying a majority int he lands they kept.
