RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
This was an impression recorded from a time more than a quarter of a century before the UN Special Commission on Palestine (UNSCOP) recommended a partition.
9. It was already apparent, when the Mandate entered into force, that the interests of the Arab majority and those of the Jewish minority would be difficult to reconcile. The first formal enquiry into the political attitudes and aspirations of the local population was undertaken in 1919 by the American King-Crane Commission, sent by President Wilson to study conditions in the Turkish Empire with reference to possible mandates. Reporting on the situation in Palestine they said:
“The Peace Conference should not shut its eyes to the fact that the anti-Zionist feeling in Palestine and Syria is intense and not lightly to be flouted. No British officer, consulted by the commissioners, believed that the Zionist programme could be carried out except by forces of arms.”
Indeed, the Zionist colonial project was imposed on Palestine by military force. It was a military attack on Palestinian civilians from day one.
The Zionist/British attacks were the initial aggression. The Palestinian position from then to now is defensive.
The Israeli position of "defending itself" is just a lie.
(COMMENT)
You will note that the American King-Crane Commission
(1919 Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey) who's historical commentary was recorded, and is now trying to be interpreted, by a pro-Arab Palestinian Advocate, some a century later, does not present an opposing view for balance. Nor does this passage refer to any colonial business or aspect that prevents the Arab Palestinians from being cooperative. Nor does it take into account that after the King-Crane Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates, the Principle Allied Powers convened in San Remo in April of 1920, for the express purpose of discussing these issues. And you will also note that the King-Crane Commission was supposed to be an Inter-Allied Commission by multiple Allied Powers, it was an unappreciated commission that was stood-up by every other Allied Power. On 26 April 1920, the conference made a determination and issued the Class "A" Mandates for the administration of Palestine and the other areas Syria and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Syria and Mesopotamia were provisionally recognized as states, Palestine was NOT. The San Remo discussions determined that the Jewish National Home would be located in the territory under the Mandate for Palestine.
When was this "Day One" when → "It was a military attack on Palestinian civilians?" You keep mentioning the "attack." There was a War in progress and the Arab Palestinian Territory was Enemy Territory of the Ottoman Empire. And when that territory was captured, the area gradually came under The Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA).
Israel, formed under the guiding hand of the UN Palestine Commission (UNPC), began defending itself from elements of the Arab League beginning 15 May 1948. And Israel has been defending itself from hostile Arab Jihadist, Fedayeen Activist, Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and Asymmetric Arab Fighters since that day. Many academics consider the period from 1946 to 1948 as a prelude to the IAC to come.
