[rylah]

Jews were always present in the land, continuously for 3,500 years.

So were a lot of other people. What is your point?

There's no other nation beside Jews that had 3,500 years of civilization in this land,
it actually really flourished only when Jews governed independently.
Other nations built monuments of conquest, but didn't really,
develop anything culturally distinct or flurished themselves.

But again, even if this was the opposite, this still doesn't justify,
why of all people Jews don't deserve independence.

My point is that all of the excuses you give,
as to rationalalize why Jews should be excluded from that right, actually lead to the opposite conclusion. And even if your premise was correct, and by your category it justifies eliminating the Jewish state, then by the very same category it invalidates the demand for an Arab state.

So how about instead of mindlessly repeating stuff that doesn't add up,
explain - why do you think Arabs deserve a state more than Jews?

So if you claim Arabs deserve a state according to that category,
the Jews sure do, not only did they didn't expell all the Arabs fighting for independence,
in fact since the re-constitution of the Jewish, their population grew sevenfold,
among whom many prefer Israeli rule to anything they see in the Arab world.

Who said that Palestine was up for grabs?

Those who call for an Arab state in Palestine, it never was one,
and even Arabs themselves call it the 'desert of the Jews':

The Judaean Desert or Judean Desert (Hebrew: מִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה‎ Midbar Yehuda, both Desert of Judah or Judaean Desert; Arabic: صحراء يهودا‎ Sahraa' Yahuda) is a desert in Israel and the West Bank that lies east of Jerusalem and descends to the Dead Sea. It stretches from the northeastern Negev to the east of Beit El, and is marked by natural terraces with escarpments. It ends in a steep escarpment dropping to the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley.

Q. So how does this explain why you think Arabs deserve a state and Jews don't?

RE: Palestinian Talks, lectures, & interviews.
⁜→ P F Tinmore, rylah, et al,

BLUF: While there is bound to be an example (or two) wherein a Benevolent Imperial Power granted "statehood" to a territory that functioned as a controlled single unit, within a hierarchical structure consisting of many territories, without some sort of add value expectation Empire, it certainly was the exception to the rule.

In the case of Palestine (the territory formerly under the Mandate), the question of "statehood" was NOT a reward. Nor was the territorial break-up and partitioning of former Ottoman territories a punishment.

So why the double standards?

You're missing the point.

Indeed I'm missing the point here,

(COMMENT)

While the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan emerged as first a British Protectorate (1921) and then Independent (1946) there were definite motivations (political, economic, commercial, and diplomatic). But it was not a totally benevolent move on the part of the British Empire. And, it was the fulfillment of a long in coming promise in exchange for the Irregular Forces and other positive contributions used in The Great War to Defeat the Ottoman Empire. The Arabs of Palestine were on the opposite side of the equation. Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, former Captain in the Ottoman Army, who got religion and became the Mufti of Jerusalem. Amin al-Husseini later became the President of the Egyptian assembled All Palestine Government (APG). Similarly, Ahmed Hilmi Pasha, former General Officer in the Ottoman Army, became the Premier of the APG. The APG attempted to claim sovereignty over the entire territory formerly under the Mandate, which included the complete partition of the Jewish State.

(∑Ω)

Certainly, the Arabs of Palestine, on the side opposing the Allied Forces in both World Wars were anything other than deserving. I would like the hear what the pro-Arab Palestinian Camp has to say about what the Arab Palestinians deserving of anything.

Personally, I don't think that the events more than half-century-old are justification for anything. I think of the Oslo Accords (the mid-1990s) moving forward are what counts.
