Chris, Clear enough, isn't it? Indeed, that's what they're doing since 1948.
arthur Gosh those Jews are clever. Somehow they have tricked the Arabs into a succession of wars. They even got the Arabs to think that they could drive the Jews into the sea. Some salesmen. And it worked. The Arabs attacked, again and again, and the Jews expanded the borders of Israel. Quite a feat: don't know how they could be quite so clever. arthur -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: the irony of rejecting a partition plan (was RE: [Futurework] RE: Towards a sustainable balance Arthur quoted a famous zionist myth: > "If Palestinians accepted the division of Palestine in 1948, they > would be a well established state and the lives of thousands and thousands > of Palestinians would have been saved, along with their properties and > resources." So you want to blame the victims? Then here's a similar quote for you: "Had partition [i.e. the British Palestine partition plan that was *rejected* by the 20th *Zionist Congress* in 1937] been carried out, the history of our people would have been different and six million Jews in Europe would not have been killed -- most of them would be in Israel." -- David Ben-Gurion (quoted in Tom Segev's "One Palestine Complete", p. 414) I, for one, *reject* blaming the victims, but I mention this quote to show where it can lead... > Many ironies in history. Indeed. Anyway, looking at zionist writings and policies, it becomes clear that the *zionists themselves* reject the UN partition plan (along with dozens of UN resolutions), and use the alleged Palestinian rejection as a pretext to blame the victims. David Ben-Gurion was quite frank about it: "No Zionist can forgo the smallest portion of the Land of Israel. [A] Jewish state in part [of Palestine] is not an end, but a beginning." "[For now, I am] satisfied with part of the country, but on the basis of the assumption that after we build up a strong force following the establishment of the state, we will abolish the partition of the country and we will expand to the whole Land of Israel." Clear enough, isn't it? Indeed, that's what they're doing since 1948.
