Palestine Right of Return - A Nation Forced Into Exile - Part 3/3

Following the recognition of the State of Israel in 1948, Jewish militias quickly defeated the Arab armies that stood in their way as thousands of Palestinians fled their villages, or were forcibly removed by the advancing Israelis. In some villages, the inhabitants were rounded up and executed, and as word of these massacres spread, many more began to leave in panic. Others simply left, believing that they would return to their homes when the fighting was over. For Israelis, 1948 was a triumph in their quest for a safe haven from centuries of persecution, culminating in the Holocaust. But for the Palestinians they displaced, this event is known as "al Nakba", or the Catastrophe.

@Tasha7845 2/3 of the land for 1/3 of the population (Jews). In no way could any self-respecting Palestinian accept that.

[Tasha7845]

They should have accepted the 1947 Partition Plan. Oops.

well for starters your assumption is wrong im not hateful or ignorant. if you had a clue as to world events you would realize that this dolt preaching the "right of return" has about as much sence as you do. explain to me how the surrounding arab nations can rally to push israel into the sea. and thats ok. however when israel defends itself, wins, dissplaces the enemy as a result (48 war) , they are the aggressors suddenly. and the loosers, now demand to return to the country they attacked.

@oakmeal53

im assuming that you think i when i said 'people like you' i meant Jews. well i didnt. we dont need hateful, ignorant people like you who clearly have no understanding of the history involved and yet still post rascist, ill informed and hypocritical comments. If living in the past is a bad thing then what do you think of zionism and the CREATION OF ISREAL? i get the impression you didnt even watch the video, instead just came on here to post a comment you knew would get a response.

@yaz044

[yaz044]

@oakmeal53 you have proved the point the man at the start of this video was making. we dont need people like you. not Isreal, not the Middle East not the WORLD. you are simply put...a disgraceful human.
