Like I continually discover, you guys are not the sharpest pencils. In the very first paragraph:
“Since 1948, the Jews have maintained that the Arabs fled, either what is called voluntarily, or because of orders or requests by their leaders inside or outside Palestine. This has been the basis of Israeli propaganda since 1948.”
Even when you have this in front of you, you embrace lies. All of you do this.
Klattuu has an even duller pencil, which he uses to try and re-write history. However his eraser is almost gone having been used to heavily wash his brain.
Occupation
After rule by the
Ottoman Empire ended there in
World War I (1914–18), the Gaza area became part of the
League of Nationsmandate of
Palestine under British rule. Before this mandate ended, the General Assembly of the
United Nations (UN) in November 1947 accepted a plan for the Arab-Jewish partition of Palestine under which the town of
Gaza and an area of surrounding territory were to be allotted to the Arabs. The British mandate ended on May 15, 1948, and
on that same day the first
Arab-Israeli war began.
Egyptianforces soon entered the town of Gaza, which became the headquarters of the Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine. As a result of heavy fighting in autumn 1948, the area around the town under
Araboccupation was reduced to a strip of territory 25 miles (40 km) long and 4–5 miles (6–8 km) wide. This area became known as the Gaza Strip.
Its boundaries were demarcated in the Egyptian-Israeli armistice agreement of February 24, 1949.
So peace is offered, accepted, and broken, offered and accepted and broken, offered and accepted and broken. By Arabs and Hamas and Palestinians. Nor the fact that even when given what they want, they spill blood.
Poor Klatu neither like history, or beds made, and consequences.
