How come their are still Arabs left in Israel if they were all drove off.
It is not without trying. The Palestinians who remained in Israel were shuffled off into ghettos and placed under military guard until 1967 where they received nominal citizenship. Israel still bulldozes Palestinian homes in Israel and many Palestinian villages still have no running water or electricity. Israel is still trying to find political correct methods to eliminate its Palestinian citizens.
Nice bullshit, got a name of the ghettos so I have a bit of reference.
Maybe you can fill us in on the war for independence. I will start, Six Arab nations were part of those who opposed the UN resolution and went to war to prevent partition, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Trans Jordan (now Jordan), Lebanon, and Egypt. Each defeated thus peace negotiated with each. Is that correct.
Not really. A truce was called by UN resolution. None of those countries surrendered. There were armistice agreements with Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, (Iraq was under Jordanian command) and Egypt. The green line, frequently called '67 borders, was drawn on top of Palestine to define areas of occupation. The green line was specifically not a border. Later the US paid Egypt and Jordan to have peace agreements with Israel.
So the name of the Ghettos so I can address that and if you know tell us who negotiated on behalf of the Arabs in Palestine. Somebody must of protested, who, when, where.
This is about the one in Jaffa.
------------
Zionist forces initiated a cruel siege on the city of Jaffa in March 1948. The youth of the city formed popular resistance committees to confront the assault. On 14 May 1948, the Bride of the Sea fell to the Zionist military forces; that same evening the leaders of the Zionist movement in Palestine declared the establishment of the state of Israel. Approximately 4,000 of the 120,000 Palestinians managed to remain in their city after it was militarily occupied. They were all rounded up and ghettoized in al-Ajami neighborhood which was sealed off from the rest of the city and administered as essentially a military prison for two subsequent years; the military regime under which Israel governed them lasted until 1966. During this period, al-Ajami was completely surrounded by barbed wire fencing that was patrolled by Israeli soldiers and guard dogs. It was not long before the new Jewish residents of Jaffa, and based on their experience under Nazism in Europe, began to refer to the Palestinian neighborhood as the "ghetto."
ei: Jaffa: from eminence to ethnic cleansing
Thats ahead of what we are discussing, for we need to know historically how the war ended. How it was fought, against who is very important. So we agree the Jews fought six Arab states.
Yes but none of them attacked Israel. They went into Palestine and set up defensive positions around Palestinian population centers. This prevented Israel from taking over the entire country. The truce was called by the UN ending the fighting. The war has technically never ended except for Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994)
Quick important fact should be discussed, where did the Jews get the weapons.
Do you know, I ask you, where did the Jews get the weapons they used. I want to see if you know.
The main supplier was an eastern European country. Offhand I do not recall the name.
Anyhow I am busy reading, I am traveling and not at home so I am at a disadvantage.
