Name one single similar "struggle" were a colonial power had its ass handed to it by the returning as well as existing native peoples and then cried foul ?
There is no returning native people, that's a whole 'nother argument, and it doesn't detract from the fact that these people have a legitimate cause.
Also if you could ;--) please explain why the land needed to offer the colonists their own homeland must be sliced out of the smallest of the mandate areas countries ? Jordan is 100' across the river and lets get real. There is absolutely NO distinctive characteristics between the Jordanians on one side of the river and the Jordanians on the other. Other than maybe one set of Jordanians stripped the citizenship from the other.
The land needed is no more, no less, than a portion of their ancestral homeland. But, that is neither here nor there.
Why not save all this fighting and hassle and just chop a piece out of Jordan ?
Because Jordan is Jordan and the Palestinian's homeland is...where they are.
What you suggest is something analagous to the trail of tears - forced expulsion into another area.
False.
I live in Colorado, doesn't make me any less Cayuga than if I were back on my homelands now. I could RETURN whenever I so chose and I'd still be Cayuga. A native person may RETURN to a homeland anytime and its still their homeland.
On the other hand the Arab Muslims homeland is in Arabia.
Which completely demolishes the Arab Muslim narrative regarding illusions to a legitimate cause.
You don't know a thing about history if you think what I'm suggesting is in any way associated with the trail of tears incident. Which as coincidence would have it I just rote a history piece for elsewhere.
The five civilized nations were completely peaceful and had in no way involved themselves in anything that could be misconstrued as terrorism.
The Arab Muslims in Israel on the other hand. Well it hardly bears mentioning.
The Geneva Conventions allow for the controlling power to segregate POWs from civilians and to repatriate the POWs to their places of origin or otherwise. No mutual agreements need be made between combatants in order for the expulsion of either POWs or combatants.
Yur logic fails on every level. ;--)
