So what’s your point? Major violence started in the teens and twenties…but antisemitism had always been there. I’m sure immigration made it worse. The Syrians were not known for diplomacy.
Would probably have something to do with the Jews buying land, building infrastructure, employing non-Jewish Palestinians as well as themselves and having support for a country. They were becoming more viable.
They also did buy the best land. Later, as non-arable land became suburbs and tourists spots, I’m sure it contributed to Palestinian anger. (What was Eliat before it was there?)
Not all Muslims or all Arabs are antisemitic nor were then. But as far as key players go, the Jewish State was something they were always opposed to. Even in the 1800s there was anti-Jewish sentiment.
And one per cent did Arabs have land deeds to?
Cite, please.
It’s in East Jerusalem. Was there well before 1948.
No. I said I wouldn’t blame Israel for the terrorist attacks.
We are talking about the 67 borders, but Israel did not start a war with Jordan (who controlled the WB at the time.)
Of course. The idea of Jews having their own state is just tolerable. Right?
No one was there. They had permission first by the Ottoman Empire and then the British.
I should’ve been clearer.
We do give Egypt aid, and it’s really pretty pithy. The average Egyptian doesn’t see any. Mubarak saw benefit, however.
As far as what we get from Israel: Oh, I donno, how about intelligence, technology, anti ballistic missile system…? The technology we get thanks to Israel’s military (medical & tactical) is amazing. You can thank Israel for things like ICQ, more energy efficient cars, ag technology, developments in science & medicine…but seriously, in a world without Israel as our ally, we are a disadvantage from a foreign policy standpoint. Finally, Israel really is our ally.
The U.S. does nothing for fun or just to be nice. Let’s get real here.
