For all of the Israel haters...

On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine into two economically united but politically sovereign states, one Jewish and the other Arab, with Jerusalem as an international city. The Arabs of Palestine, aided by brethren across the frontiers, at once rose up in arms to thwart partition. The Jews accepted the plan; on 14 May 1948, the last day of the mandate, they proclaimed the formation of the State of Israel. The next day, the Arab League states—Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Sa'udi Arabia, and Syria—launched a concerted armed attack.

The Encyclopedia of the Nations is a complete source for detailed information about one hundred ninety three countries in the world, information about the United Nations and the associated agencies, and World Leaders.


The UN set up a special committee which recommended splitting the territory into separate Jewish and Palestinian states. Palestinian representatives, known as the Arab Higher Committee, rejected the proposal; their counterparts in the Jewish Agency accepted it.

Wael arent you tired of getting PAWNED after every post you make?

 

Does Israel want peace?

Do you think it is just the Palestinians who have a beef with Israel, or also the rest of the world (apart from America) who care for human rights and nuclear proliferation?

Does Israel even care about these two points?

Do you think a more balanced thread would result from the discussion of broader issues concerning Israels conduct, rather than the same old tired issues of Palestine and Israel?

Was the intention of this thread to start an intelligent discussion, or simply to bait the same old faces into hurling insults about the same old issues?

Is there nothing else to do?

Who thinks Steve46 makes a valid point?

Just some questions, but I don't think they will be answered honestly with an open mind. Do you?

 

Khahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!

gunslinger, aren't you ashamed to make such a claim??

 

Their acceptance of the partition of Palestine in 1948 - guess what, jews were not too thrilled with it either but were willing to accept a compromise. Peace with Jordan, peace with Egypt, Clinton sponsored peace negotiations with palestinians that Arafat walked away from... So what do you think?

 

That you killed a Prime minister over and walked away from.
