I think this is getting ugly. It is sounding more and more racist, as if Arabs in Palestine before '48 were nothing but primitive savages whose human rights need not have been respected.

Those are your words not mine. In no way did I say anything close to what you just said. You have been on this thread all day making implications that are false. This thread started out with you and ExiledinTaiwan and others talking about "Israel firsters" and begging for refutation of the points raised in the link. I resent the "Israeli first" label, if it was intended for me, nevertheless I clearly and concisely refuted the arguments with at least 20 pieces of evidence without crying foul. That is not racism, that is true and proper historical evidence.

Try getting out of your own skins for a change and realize that others besides Jews have rights. And try to see the malice behind your own narrow perspectives.

What malice are you talking about? I have no malice. The facts are the facts. Some people are scumbags, although I concede it is a matter of perspective. Arafat and the Mufti make the list IMHO. All human beings have equal rights. But the right to live in peace only extends as far as your willingness to allow others to live in peace. The organization at the top of this thread is misguided, wrongheaded, historically incorrect and/or incomplete, and offers solutions that, IMHO, unfairly target Israel as the guilty party. The Jews of Israel were the victims not only of Arab aggression in 1948 -- but in fact it was the Arab Palestinian aggressions of the previous 20+ years (Hebron massacre, jerusalem riots, haifi riots, etc) that pushed them into needing independence from the Arabs and British in the first place. Can't you see that?

On July 22, 1946. Who bombed the King David hotel. The Tooth Fairy ? No. It was the future Prime Minister and his Terrorists.
