Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

What utter false propaganda!! Israle and its various 'allies' dominate every media today and have turned lies into facts!! Let me answer what Texan Aggie has written point wise:1. How far will u go in history to claim something ? You are citing Roman records, because it suits you!! Why dont you got back to the begining of life eh? By your Logic, White people whould leave America, along with Blacks and hand over USA to the native American Indians , who were the original inhabitants? Whay dont you do that? The so called land of Jews- Israel, was under Muslim rule and inhabited by Arabs since centuries. Is indeed it was holy to Jews, there is not ONE historical record of jews ever coming to defend their land from the Ottoman empire, the arabs, etc. Where were they before, during or after crusades? Pls cite historically true facts.. Let me quote you from the United Nations website.. presently occupied by Israel and Palestine. For a history of the period, see Mandate Palestine.The British Mandate for Palestine, also known as the Palestine Mandate and the British Mandate of Palestine, was a legal instrument for the administration of Palestine formally approved by the League of Nations in July 1922, based on several agreements by the principal Allied and associated powers after the First World War. The mandate formalised British rule in Palestine from 1917–1948. With the League of Nations' consent, the Mandatory, Britain divided the Mandate territory into two administrative areas, Palestine West and East of the Jordan River under direct British rule. Transjordan, intend [1] for rule under the Hashemite family from Hijaz.[2] and West Palestine intended as a national home for the Jewish people. The preamble of the mandate declared:Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.[3]The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate system was to administer parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, "until such time as they are able to stand alone."[4So, britain got the whole territory to adminster and return to the Ottoman empire, which they did not!!While the possibility of a Jewish homeland in Palestine had been a goal of Zionist organizations since the late 19th century, it was not until 1917 and the Balfour Declaration that the idea gained the official backing of a major power. The declaration stated that the British government supported the creation of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. With the end of World War I, Britain was given a mandate over the area known as Palestine, which it had conquered from the Ottomans. In 1936 the Peel Commission suggested partitioning Mandate Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, though it was rejected as unworkable by the government and was at least partially to blame for the 1936-39 Arab revolt. The UN partition planIn the face of increasing violence after World War II, the British handed the issue over to the United Nations. The result was Resolution 181, a partition plan to divide Palestine between Jews and Arabs. The Jewish state was to receive around 56% of the land area of Mandate Palestine, encompassing 82% of the Jewish population, though it would be separated from Jerusalem, designated as an area to be administered by the UN. The plan was accepted by most of the Jewish population, but rejected by much of the Arab populace. On 29 November 1947, the plan was put to a vote in the United Nations General Assembly. The result was 33 to 13 in favour of the plan, with 10 abstentions The UN resolution on "The Future Government of Palestine" contained both a plan of partition and a Minority Protection Plan.[2] It placed minority, women's, and religious rights under the protection of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice. The plan provided specific guarantees of fundamental human rights. The new states had to acknowledge the stipulated rights in a Declaration, which according to precedent was tantamount to a treaty.[3] The resolution stated that "the stipulations contained in the declarations are recognized as fundamental laws of State, and no law, regulation or official action shall conflict or interfere with these stipulations, nor shall any law, regulation or official action prevail over them."[4] The resolution also required that the Constitution of each State embody the rights contained in the DeclaratioFollowing the declaration, Moetzet HaAm became the Provisional State Council, which acted as the legislative body for the new state until the first elections in January 1949.Over the next few days the armies of Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria invaded Israel, and officially and militarily threatened to occupy the whole of the former Mandate territory, thereby starting the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, known in Israel as the War of Independence (Hebrew: מלחמת העצמאות‎, Milhamat HaAtzma'ut). A truce began on 11 June, but fighting resumed on 8 July and stopped again on 18 July, before restarting in mid-October and finally ending on 24 July 1949 with the signing of the armistice agreement with Syria. By then Israel had retained its independence and increased its land area by almost 50% compared to the 1947 UN Partition Plan.NOW AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF UK AND USA HAD INCREASED ITS LAND AREA IN 1949 BY 50%.. If it was so poor, who supplied it weapons, pilots, aircrafts, tanks etc.. US and USA of course. In December 1948, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 194 which declared (amongst other things) that in the context of a general peace agreement "refugees wishing to return to their homes and live in peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so" and that "compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return." The resolution also mandated the creation of the United Nations Conciliation Commission. However, parts of the resolution were never implemented, resulting in the Palestinian refugee crisis.On July 26, 1956, Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal Company, and closed the canal to Israeli shipping, as repeated attempts were made by Israel to invade the territorial waters of Egypt, including firing on Egyptiam forces and destroying its boats.Israel responded on October 29, 1956, by invading the Sinai Peninsula with British and French support. During the Suez Canal Crisis, Israel captured the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula. The United States and the United Nations soon pressured it into a ceasefire.[34][35] Israel agreed to withdraw from Egyptian territory. Egypt agreed to freedom of navigation in the region and the demilitarization of the Sinai. The United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) was created and deployed to oversee the demilitarization.[36] The UNEF was only deployed on the Egyptian side of the border, as Israel refused to allow them on its territoryWOW!! Britian, US and French fighting on behalf of Israel!! Israel attacking Egypt for not allowing it in its territorial waters!! A mad dog , terrorist state indeed! Egypt started rallying other Arab countries to its support, prominment being Syria , Jordan etc for containing the unlawful aggression of Israel, and started a series of mutual protection agreements with fellow Arab countries. Israel, started covertly lobbying with its allies, namely the US and UK, to supply it with intelligence, weapons , planes, and armours, in direct violation of the arms embargo imposed by UN. On June 5 Israel sent almost all of its planes on a preemptive mission into Egypt. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) , supported bu US, British and French pllanes and pilots ( including concrete busting bombs supplied bu USA) destroyed most of the Egyptian Air Force in a surprise attack, then turned east to destroy the Jordanian, Syrian and Iraqi air forces. This strike was the crucial element in Israel's victory in the Six-Day War.[39][41] At the war's end, Israel had gained control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day.So , I rest my case!! All this cited from the UN site.. What it proves? Britian took custody of the Ottoman Empire, with a promise to return it to the rulers.. Instead, it created Israel!! UN took more than a decade to recognise this illegitimate child of US and Britain.Even then, Israel greed was not over, it started a war on 1948, where it increased its land area by 50% and then in 1967, it attcked 4 countries, seized territories from them, including Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights !!!!It has till date not returned a single territory it seized illegally.Now, what would you call this ?? And please in future, quote authentic data, not lies under the garb of history!!Everything i wrote is from the UN site.. can anyone dispute it?I rest my case
