Comments by "Sandy Tatham" (@sandytatham3592) on "Palestinian Nakba Day protest in London" video.
Today one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslims who have #equal rights under the law with Jews. Their families chose to remain in Palestine in 1948 and live under Jewish rule. They didn’t flee when told by their leaders to go out when the five Arab militaries attacked the newly formed state of Israel. What country would allow the return of hostile people?

@Sammy-wu8gm Whenever Jews and Christians live under Islamic Sharia they are third class citizens with very few legal rights. So much for ‘harmony’🙄. Today, one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslims who have #equal rights under the law with Jews. Their families chose to remain in Palestine in 1948 and live under Jewish rule.

@dharmabum1925 : I don't deny that the "catastrophe" happened for the Arabs. It was a massive own-goal 🙄. If five Arab countries hadn't attacked the newly formed country of Israel, having told the Arabs in Palestine to flee temporarily, the Arabs in Israel would probably have a demographic advantage today. Catastrophes happen. The Jewish people were expelled or forced to flee from Arab countries too, and in greater numbers, leaving behind much greater generational wealth. Today they've all been resettled. They have citizenship of their new countries, and live normal lives. The so-called Palestinians are being used as geopolitical weapons simply because of the Jews and antisemitism. They are being used as #pawns. Similar catastrophes happened in Turkey in 1924 where around 1.5 million people were forced into a population exchange between Greece and Turkey. And in 1947 around 18 million people in India fled either to India or Pakistan, and huge numbers were killed, raped or maimed. But it's only the 'special' Palestinians who today still get huge funding and publicity for their cause. Why is there no effort by UNRWA to resettle them in third countries if they are hostile to Israel?

@Sammy-wu8gm : I'm curious, Sammy. Do you live in Gaza? Or do you live somewhere safe? But you are happy to use the 'Palestinians' in Gaza as #pawns in your hostility for the Jewish state of Israel? In 75 years, the Arab 'Palestinians' have achieved only violence and deaths, because the majority refuse to accept the legitimacy of Israel. You probably have no issue with Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Lebanon? These countries were all formed out of the defeat and collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, just like Israel was. And I guess you are also fine with Iran using the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organisation as a proxy against the Jews? And you enjoy watching Hamas compete with Islamic Jihad for supremacy in the West Bank?
