One of those perceptions was the savagery for witch the Arabs were known.
This image of the Arab is still with use today. Whether we picture them settling bombs off in restaurants, suicide bombers on a crowed beach, kidnapping and murdering teenagers, or sending a laser-guided missile into the side of a school bus, the image that the name of the Arab Palestinians invokes is one of sheer barbarism.
All of which they learned from the Irgun, Lehi, Palmach and Hagana.
So who was doing it for the muslims before these groups were invented ?
Was Palestine under threat by any of its neighbors?
Of course she was. You are trying to justify States using military force outside their own sovereign lands to incorporate new territory into their own sovereignty. How many times have you told us that you can't use military force to gain territory?
Drivel. Palestine was only ever under threat from Zionist terrorism and land grabbing and later ethnic cleansing which forced the neighbouring states to intervene militarily to prevent. The only actor to illegally gain territory both in 1948 and 1967 and every year since, has been Zionist Israel. Admittedly, Abdullah of Jordan had designs on the West Bank in collusion with the Zionists; much like the Hitler/Stalin, Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of 1939 to partition Poland and wonder of wonders, the Jordanians were the only army not to attack the Zionists, until the Zionists tried to capture Jerusalem in violation of their agreement.
So why is 78% of palestine peaceful and not under any threat from Isreal ?
And why did Jordan pass a law stealing all the Jewish land and revoking their title ?
