Chris Whitman, a US citizens studying at Hebrew University, was filming mass protests that take place every Friday in opposition to illegal Israeli land confiscations. Last Friday's demonstration were larger than normal due to annual remembrances of the 1948 Palestinian exodus, al Nakba.
"The 1948 Palestinian exodus (Arabic: الهجرة الفلسطينية*, al-Hijra al-Filasṭīnīya), also known as Nakba (Arabic: النكبة*, an-Nakbah), meaning the 'disaster', 'catastrophe', or "cataclysm",[1] occurred when approximately 725,000 Palestinian Arabs left, fled or were expelled from their homes, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Civil War that preceded it.[2]
"The exact number of actual refugees is a matter of dispute, depending upon the source. [3]
"Although some authors, such as Ilan Pappé, describe this exodus a forced deportation or ethnic cleansing,[4][3] others see it from a different perspective. Mark Tessler, in his History of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, says, 'The reasons for this mass exodus....were and to some extent remain the subject of fundamental disagreement between Arabs and Israelis.'
"He uses the words of UN mediator Bernadotte, who said that the Palestinians became refugees 'in response to 'the hazards and strategy of the armed conflict' swirling around them.'"[5]"

In 1947, the British government withdrew from the Mandate of Palestine, stating it was unable to arrive at a solution acceptable to both Arabs and Jews.[68] The newly created United Nations approved the Partition Plan for Palestine (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) on November 29, 1947, which sought to divide the country into two states—one Arab and one Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an international city—a corpus separatum—administered by the UN.[69]
The Jewish community accepted the plan,[70] but the Arab League and Arab Higher Committee rejected it.[71] On December 1, 1947, the Arab Higher Committee proclaimed a three-day strike, and Arab bands began attacking Jewish targets.[72] Jews were initially on the defensive as civil war broke out, but they gradually moved onto the offensive.[73] The Palestinian Arab economy collapsed and 250,000 Palestinian-Arabs fled or were expelled.[74]
On May 14, 1948, the day before the expiration of the British Mandate, the Jewish Agency proclaimed independence, naming the country Israel.[75] The following day, the armies of four Arab countries—Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq—attacked Israel, launching the 1948 Arab–Israeli War;[76][77] Saudi Arabia sent a military contingent to operate under Egyptian command; Yemen declared war but did not take military action.[78] After a year of fighting, a ceasefire was declared and temporary borders, known as the Green Line, were established.[79] Jordan annexed what became known as the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip. About 700,000 Palestinian refugees were expelled or fled the country during the conflict.
Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations by majority vote on May 11, 1949.[

This so-called "Nakba" or "mass exodus" of 700,000 arabs which is falsely depicted as "ethnic cleansing" or with other derogatory propaganda terms today.....was simply the result of a year-long war between the Arabs and the Israelis....a war started by the Arabs....and won by the Israelis....

It's already happened on this thread, immediately, Jillian wasted no time pulling the anti-Jew card.
My god if I ever said I don't like the taste of gefilte fish she might have an emotional breakdown.
My goodness, you're not very bright. Jillian's seen Tinmore's posts in other threads. She knows he hates Jews.
And when I ask to link to one of my posts I get nothing.
Then prove it isn't true, or STFU, bitch.
All that and stupid, too.
You made a claim, Skippy. Prove it's true. HINT: Your saying it isn't proof. An astoundingly simple concept, but you don't seem to grasp it still.
There is no material difference between the anti-semite card and the black race card as they are commonly used,
and particularly as used in this thread, including by you.
Umm, how much does the US give to Israel each year?
And with f&^k all strings attached too as far as I can see.
How much does the Government give to all those Muslim Terrorist countries?
Unfortunately for those Muslim Terrorist countries, much of what your Government spends on them is distributed in the form of high explosive.

It's only right...they've got to make it a fair fight.

I'd say that you get more in return from the Saudis and such.
The Israelis take your money and tell you piss off.

So, you are saying that the Palestinians went to Europe and attacked the Israelis?
Jillian is one of the many posters on this board who if you say something bad about Israeli foreign policy, it's because you're a jew hater.
Israel is the only country in the world that if you criticize it you're accused of the hating the main religion in the country, it defies all levels of basic intelligence.
But its' true.
No one gets their panties in a wad over Indonesia. No one campaigns for cutting funding to Indonesia. No one protests Indonesian speakers at universities. No one is concerned with how Indonesians treat ethnic minorities in the country.
So why is Israel different?
Anti-semitism is the ugly reason.
Good point, because Indonesia and Israel get equal coverage in american news, yet for some reason people speak against the Israeli government more.
I can't turn on the news without hearing some Indonesia story, where are all the threads?!?!?!?! People aren't starting Indonesia threads cuz they're Jew haters!!!!!
i don't think all criticism of israel is anti-semitism. but when the criticism is ONLY of israel and not of the terrorists, then one has to question the 'why's'.
Ms Jill
WHY are the "terrorists" terrorizing?
.
Was this a warning ot a threat?
To threaten the president of the united states... A war president at that!

So whether a country gets news coverage or not should determine whether people are in favor of it? WHo's the crazy one here?
Indonesia is a major country. It has a population far larger than Israel. It has the largest Muslim population in the world.
And yet no one gets worked up over Indonesia or aid to them?
Ditto with the Philippines. Even though the Philippines was a U.S. territory and we had a military base there for almost 100 years. But no one gets worked up over aid to the Philippines.
Gee, why is that?
What is it about a tiny country in the middle east with no oil that causes some people to become apoplectic at their very name? Which other country was referred to by a Euro diplomat as "that shitty little country"?
Hmm, I think I'm on the right track here.
So, you are saying that the Palestinians went to Europe and attacked the Israelis?
what a stupid question....but obviously you like to ignore history....
What history states is the the Palestinians were at home minding their own business when Israel came to take over their country. Israel has been crying self defense ever since.

Palestinian history, you mean.
Actual historical accounts mention that Arab governments encouraged them to flee so they exterminate the Jews.

Wrong, you're just using another talking point, your specialty.
Israel gets discussed a lot in the news, when something is being discussed a lot, it generates a lot of discussion.
That's why people talk about Israel more than Indonesia, that's why people talk about Brett Favre more than Chad Henne, that's why people talk about Mcdonald's more than Hank's Hamburger Hut.
Has nothing to do with hating jews, it's just a nice cop out for so that you can avoid debating the subject rationally.
I'll say again I don't want foreign aid going to any country, Israel included.
