Can anyone explain how this is not ethnic cleansing?
Thought you said Israel was in a land grab. Now you say ethnic cleansing. You realize you're full of beans?
They are both the same thing. You drive off the Palestinians so you can steal their land.
For the millionth time, there were no "Palestinians" you idiot. The land belonged to the Turks for 600 years and after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire it was controlled by the British. It was then divided into two separate countries, one for the ARABS under Hamshemite rule, which is today's Jordan, and another for the Jews, called Israel. Arab animals rejected and attacked, NOT BECAUSE OF THIS MYTHICAL PALESTINIAN, but because the greedy bastards wanted to destroy the newly formed Jewish state and divide it between themselves.
Isn't it interesting that "Palestinians" themselves, DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF A
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE?!
"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel".
- Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council -
"You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people".
- Syrian dictator Hafez Assad to the PLO leader Yassir Arafat -
"As I lived in Palestine, everyone I knew could trace their heritage back to the original country their great grandparents came from. Everyone knew their origin was not from the Canaanites, but ironically, this is the kind of stuff our education in the Middle East included. The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, muslim Sherkas from Russia, muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants".
