  1. Population has grown 10X, it's not a genocide. 21% of Israelis citizens are Arab, it is not an ethnic cleansing. Try Sudan/Darfur for that

  2.  @kahwheeong871  "resistance"? Pan-Arabism is not resistance, it's Imperialism.

  3.  @karenbryant2  No, it was not recognized as a people in ancient times, and even the PLO says the name is only a tactic in the greater aim of Pan-Arabism. Jordan was also "created". Your history is false and self-serving.

  4. Einstein was not a diplomat, not even a very good husband or mathematician. Why would you quote something he said 75 years ago? What would he say today?

  5. Israel is not an apartheid state, 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab. Show me the comparable in Syria or Yemen.

  6.  @JohnCox-ut3cv  No, UK did not "gilt" anything, there was "declaration" which did nothing, it was an international group at San Remo after WW1, which included Japan, that created a temporary area in the region administered by the UK in agreement with other countries. The Arabs were included, but Sharif Hussein went to war with Ibn Saud, it was then the UK made a "gift", not to the Jews, but to Abdullah and Faisal. They messed it up. Your story is narrow and self-serving.

  7.  @JohnCox-ut3cv  That is false, 120,000 stayed and became Israeli citizens and now number 1.8 million. "Gunpoint" was the 5 nations which declared war on Israel in 1948. The others refused to fight the war and fled, believing they would come back after the Arabs won. The "ghettos" are in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Darfur. Tehe pe

  11.  @JohnCox-ut3cv  "fairly modern"? Westphalian agreements are from the mid-17th Century. It was the Ottomans who would not sign on.

  12.  @karenbryant2  Jordan became independent in 1946. Jordan captured the West Bank in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and annexed it until Israeli forces took it during the Six Day War in 1967.

  13.  @gregfeast1068  No, it was called that first by the Greeks, it is a Greek word, not Roman. Romans took it from the Greek. "Pale" is Greek for "To Wrestle".

  16.  @hqs7853  100% was Ottoman, then under League of Nations Mandate. Arabs would have been ethnic cleansing, Dhimmi Apartheid, and the lie of the Dome of the Rock. There's no mention of Jerusalem in the Qur'an. Look at the battle for the Hejaz in the 1920s. Look at the calls for genocide by the Grand Mufti. Read this: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." Available online in original. Jews were slaves in East Jerusalem and run out of Safed in the upper Galilee. The Jews are not the equivalent of the Dutch in South Africa. Tel-Aviv was started by Jews in the middle of the 18th Century. One history is material fact, the other a fantasy.
