@ye32 When I go to a different country or place, I really would like to make sure that I come into good terms with the people there so that we don't get into a fight. I wouldn't want to come and take over the place, because I'm sure I would make enemies that way...
@ye32 Yes, so you would like to make me believe that Egypt was full of people, Syria was full of people, Lebanon was full of people, Jordan was full of people, but Israel/Palestine was empty?? So much for the holy land of Christian and Muslim Palestinians... And because the land was empty and no one wanted it, you decided to control it.
Sorry, I'm keep on using examples from personal life. When I still went to the university, my university boasts "We have students from 26 different countries" to say that they are international. However, this is misleading though, because if I left the university, they would have end up with students from 25 different countries, because I was the only Indonesian. Actually the university is not as diverse as the superficial statistics seem to show...
@ye32 My country "Indonesia" and the "Indonesian" identity is also pretty new. It's just various regions and smaller kingdoms colonized by the Dutch. It came into existence in 1945 as an identity (or political tool) to fight off the Dutch invaders, at about the same time "Malaysia" and "the Philippines" came into existence. The Dutch cannot say, "There was never an Indonesian state/nation, so we have the right to take over this land." And we're very lucky we kicked out those invaders.
...as a new poltical tool to use in his ongoing war against Israel.
In 1964 Nasser established the "Palestinian Liberation Organization and appointed Ahmed Shukeiry - the head of the Arab league at that time, to be its first head secratery. It was the same Ahmed Shukeiry that in 1958, at the U.N. assebly said: "There is no creature - a palestinian nation..."
Another fact that can be learnt from British documentation is that the population growth in Palestine between 1922 and 1947 ecceeded the population growth of Egypte in those years. Egypte has the highest birth rate in the Middle East even today.
2. There was NEVER a "Palestinian state" and there was NEVER a "Palestinian nation". This invention of a "Palestinian nation" was invented by Gammal Abdul Nasser, the Egyptian president. He invented that ...
...what was paid to Arab workers in the Arab countries, so they all came to find work in Palestine, knowing they will get paid much better.
A survey made by the British mandate in 1936 say that there are 30 different Arab languages spoken in Palestine. Egyptian arabic, Syrian arabic, Turkish, and even Persian. Where did all these languages came from?...
1. Nearly ALL the Arab Palestinians living in the area that was called "Palestine" were immigrants from Arab countries. From Syria and Lebanon and Turkey in the north, Egypte in the south and even Iraq and Iran from the east. They all came in the 1920's and 1930's after the British occupied this area. The reason for that vast immigration was the fast development by the British and the Jews that were here. The fee that was paid by the British for workers was much higher than...
@ye32 So can you tell me why the genes of the Jews are so similar to the genes of the Palestinians??
