Zelfde zou inderdaad zijn als moslims aller landen onder toeziend oog van Amerika ons eruit komen schoppen
Nee, niet hetzelfde want de Israëliërs hebben de Arabieren niet uit hun gebied geschopt. Er wonen op dit moment meer dan twee miljoen Arabieren in Israël, die beschikken over meer dan vierhonderd moskeeën en gewoon Arabisch mogen blijven praten. Men wilde inderdaad een Joodse staat creëren, met zo min mogelijk Arabieren erin, en een economie op basis van Joodse arbeid, maar enkel voor zover dat vreedzaam mogelijk was.
Geweld kwam oorspronkelijk van de Arabieren.
1920:
Battle of Tel Hai
"Early in the Franco-Syrian War,
a Kfar Giladi resident was killed by armed Bedouin, greatly increasing tension in the region. Jewish villages
were regularly pillaged by the pro-Syrian Bedouin on the pretext of searching for French spies and soldiers."
1936–1939:
Arab revolt in Palestine
"Since the Battle of Tel Hai in 1920, Jews and Arabs had been involved in a cycle of attacks and counter-attacks, and
the immediate spark for the uprising was the murder of two Jews by a Qassamite band, and the retaliatory killing by Jewish gunmen of two Arab labourers, incidents which triggered a flare-up of violence across Palestine. A month into the disturbances, Amin al-Husseini, president of the Arab Higher Committee and Mufti of Jerusalem, declared 16 May 1936 as 'Palestine Day' and called for a general strike. David Ben-Gurion, leader of the Yishuv, described Arab causes as fear of growing Jewish economic power, opposition to mass Jewish immigration and fear of the British identification with Zionism."
30 November 1947:
Beginning of the civil war in Mandatory Palestine
"
The first casualties after the adoption of Resolution 181(II) were passengers on a Jewish bus near Kfar Sirkin on 30 November, after an eight-man gang from Jaffa ambushed the bus killing five and wounding others. Half an hour later they ambushed a second bus, southbound from Hadera, killing two more, and shots were fired at Jewish buses in Jerusalem and Haifa."
1948:
Arab–Israeli War
"The General Assembly resolution on Partition [29 November 1947] was greeted with overwhelming joy in Jewish communities and
widespread outrage in the Arab world. In Palestine, violence erupted almost immediately, feeding into a spiral of reprisals and counter-reprisals. The British refrained from intervening as tensions boiled over into a low-level conflict that quickly escalated into a full-scale civil war.
From January onwards, operations became increasingly militarised, with the intervention of a number of Arab Liberation Army regiments inside Palestine, each active in a variety of distinct sectors around the different coastal towns."

Met andere woorden: de eerste zionisten zijn niet als een stel schuimbekkende genocideplegers vanuit Europa naar Palestina vertrokken. Ze hadden oorspronkelijk niets tegen de Arabieren of de moslims - ze hadden eerder iets tegen racisme, als slachtoffers van de vervolgingen in Europa - en hadden hun handen vol aan hun idealistische, socialistische projecten waaronder de
kibbutzim (vanaf 1910). Voor zover ik kan nagaan, is de geweldspiraal terug te voeren tot de Arabische aanval van 1920, lang voor het uitroepen van de Joodse staat, en ook daarna hebben Arabieren telkens de periodes van rust doorbroken, zoals hierboven in bold type aangegeven. De
Haganah, voorloper van de terreurgroep Irgun, was in 1920 opgericht "to defend Jewish settlements against Arab attacks."
Okay, laat me dan ook maar even opzoeken wanneer die
Irgun dan precies is opgericht.
"The Irgun's first steps were in the aftermath of the Riots of 1929."
1929:
Palestine riots
"The riots took the form, for the most part, of attacks by Arabs on Jews accompanied by destruction of Jewish property. During the week of riots, from 23 to 29 August, 133 Jews were killed by Arabs, and 339 Jews were injured, most of whom were unarmed."
Oei! Maar wat was dan de allereerste geweldpleging in die reeks rellen?
"The next day (August 16) an incident which "in its origin was of a personal nature" was sparked when a 17-year-old Sephardic Jew named Abraham Mizrachi was
fatally stabbed by an Arab at the Maccabi grounds near Mea Shearim and the Bukharim quarter, on the outskirts of the village lands of Lifta, following a quarrel which began when he and his friends tried to retrieve their lost football from an Arab girl after it had rolled into an Arab-owned tomato field."
En ja, dat escaleerde nogal. Wederzijds geweld, maar ook in dat wederzijdse geweld waren het de Arabieren die de meest gruwelijke daden verrichtten, de
Hebron massacre:
"On 24 August 1929 in Hebron,
Arab mobs attacked the Jewish quarter killing and raping men, women and children and looting Jewish property. They killed between 65 and 68 Jews and wounded 58, with some of the victims being tortured, or mutilated. Sir John Chancellor, the British High Commissioner visited Hebron and later wrote to his son, "The horror of it is beyond words. In one house I visited not less than twenty-five Jews men and women were murdered in cold blood." Sir Walter Shaw concluded in The Palestine Disturbances report that "unspeakable atrocities have occurred in Hebron."
1929!
