Exactly. They were not an army. They were migrants.
They did not have an army so they mooched Britain's.
No, you made that up, like you do most of the time. Either way, the invasion lie is just Palestinian propaganda
Britain's job in Palestine was to render administrative assistance and advise.
You don't need an army for that.
Uhhh, Britain conquered the Ottoman Empire in WW1. They were placed in foreign territory thay may or may not have been hostile. Not to mention they are thousands of miles away from Britain. So of course they had an army ! What a ridiculous thing to say. They were stationed purely for defensive reasons.
Hi Toastie,After the fall of the Ottomans circa 1918 approx.......The British then settled into "The Mandate of Palestine"They did have an Army albeit a small one,to oversee the Mandate..........it was in approx., 1923 that an influx of European Jews stared to enter this area illegally,which the Palestinians and British allowed them to set up farms ect,.as they seemed no threat to the status-quo.
No threat at this stage but by the late 20's early 30's this became a Jewish torrent of Illegals.....The British became concerned and the Palestinians Alarmed and this proved the turning point of Jewish/Palestinian relationship.The Palestinians did then realize it was becoming an invasion and tried to resist this onslaught......but with Britain dithering and Government in London the Jewish politicians rampted up their desire for a Jewish homeland(although the British promised the land for the Palestinians this proved a hollow gesture).
The Top Government Administrators in Palestine were all Jews and as time progressed,after the British fought with the Jewish illegals originally,the Palestinians roze up against the British......and the Jews...after WW2....The UN became involved and by 1948 Jews got Statehood,the Palestinians of course rightly refused to accept the partition ............prior to this, the various Jewish Murderous Terrorist Groups set out to eliminate as many Palestinians as they could and did of course,razing Palestinian villages and towns and murdering tens of thousands and exiling hundreds of thousands......both the British and more importantly the Palestinians had been completely out manovered sic by a better equipped,ruthless and determined foe.
Today we have,the Israelis gaining more land and building settlements for immigrants,settlers to live.....I really don't think Israel have or had any intention to a 2 State solution.........maybe with Mr Rabin and Simon Peres....but today we see the Rabid Right Wing in control,and there mantra of driving out the Palestinians is for all to see........It makes a Mockery of the Jews claim that the Palestinians want to eliminate all Jews......the proof is always in the pudding and the comparison of Palestinian Deaths to Jewish Deaths since 1948 is appox 14 to 1,the Palestinian being the higher figure,moreover many more Palestinian children have been slaughtered than the total amount of Jews slaughtered.......what a shocking inditement. sic
But the Palestinians will survive,even if the rest of the world have to help them.steve
