Do you think they were wrong to resist enslavement by and rule of people newly transferred from another continent?
Yes. I do think they were (and are) wrong. I think the emotional drama of your statement demonstrates the ideology with which the Arab Muslims view the situation. The problem is not presented as Palestinian self-determination. The underlying problem is the belief that the Joooooos will enslave us! The HORROR!
Let's face reality here. Unless one has been in a coma for years and years, we have seen the population in the U.S. change. There have been Asians, Southeast Asians, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, etc. moving to America in huge numbers for the jobs, freedom and opportunities this country offers. If people were honest they would realize that the same thing happened in Israel. Why should these poor Arabs stay put in their own countries when they could move to a country where things would be much better for them. The British officials in the area recognized what was happening.
About the only indigenous there, apart from the Jews who never left and some Christians, were the Bedouins who moved around from place to place. Does anyone really think this man was lying about his observations.
