I urge you to stop spreading Israeli propaganda. Palestine had nothing to do with WW2 but you want to cry Nazi to help justify Israel's actions.
No, they did get a Nazi war criminal to lead their armies in their attack against Israel though.
HAve you noticed something? Buster does not refute what i said. wonder why? Its because former leadership of PLO and even arafatt themselves have said they are not actually palestinians.
Palestinians started ethnic cleansing and terrorism first, and I have proven it to Buster and shut his mouth and ran him out of other threads.
You are right about the Israelis not stealing any land.
Buster is wrong on everything. He's a fool and refuses sourced evidence, and runs away to lie in the next thread.

That's because what you said is nothing but a joke. Other people have made this claim but no one seems to back it up with any facts. There are more than enough maps and passports to clearly show that there has been a Palestine for far longer than there has been an Israel. How are you going to have a nation without there being a people of that land?

And Israel also got a person who worked with the Nazis to lead their nation. Do some research the terrorist gangs that worked with Hitler that staged attacks against the Britain's later went on to become the leaders of Israel.
The League demanded independence for Palestine as a “unitary” state, with an Arab majority and minority rights for the Jews.
The League’s Political Committee met in Sofar, Lebanon, on 16–19 September, and urged the Palestine Arabs to fight partition, which it called “aggression,” “without mercy.” The League promised them, in line with Bludan, assistance “in manpower, money and equipment” should the United Nations endorse partition.
The League vowed, in very general language, “to try to stymie the partition plan and prevent the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
In the immediate aftermath of the General Assembly's vote on the Partition plan, the explosions of joy among the Jewish community were counterbalanced by the expression of discontent among the Arab community.

The first casualties after the adoption of Resolution 181(II) by the General Assembly were passengers on a Jewish bus driving on the Coastal Plain near Kfar Sirkin on 30 November. 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. At other places, Arab snipers skirmished Jewish buses in Jerusalem and Haifa

Point 5. no it was not always Palestinia. the ROMANS renamed the area without consent from JUDEA. look it up. It was a punishment for rebellions against them. These days we do not think about the pride attached to a name but back then that was a major insult. Also by roman decree they renamed it on their maps as well. Also When the league of nations divided the land back up they took this into account. TURKEY controlled the land until it was taken back.
Historically The area of palestinia was never formally recognized by anyone as a nation really.
I have to ask you. DO you think YAsser arafatt and ex plo leadership lied about there not really being a modern palestinian people? they both have admitted this you can find this info too if you look.

4) The Vietnamese communist party? Really?! Lolwhut. No, the PLO was a creation of the Arab league - mostly meaning Egypt, at the time. Vietnamese... Oh lawd. That's funny.

The naming conventions of the 1st century CE are not particularly relevant to the demographic realities of the 20th century. You are essentially trying to use semantics to defend the indefensible - a plan to evict people from 60% of the land they and their ancestors had held all the way back before that Latin-Hebrew kerfluffle, and hand that territory to immigrants from another continent.

Neither was the United States, until it was. This isn't really an argument worth attempting. Nations rise and fall, come and go, all over the place.

Should I be as trusting when Schlomo Sand says, "Jews are an invented people"? Or should I follow common sense, see that there are in fact, Jewish people, and there are in fact, Palestinian people, and so many others that a combination of victors and idiots have tried to erase from reality, and just dismiss such claims out of hand as the ramblings of mentally impaired or politically compromised nincompoops?

He may have overstated things, but the basis of his claim is factual. One could argue the PLO was a mid-east invention, but what the PLO turned into under Arafat was not. I don't think it's on topic enough to argue about the degree of involvemen for this post.

YAsser arafatt was the greatest palestinian ever,
HE was their mouthpeice for a long long time.
th epeople who you claim were palestinians were not at the time called that. they were syrians,egyptians,and nomads living beside jewish people as well.
Also the people the palis claim as related to them were killed off for the most part and bred out of existence.

Words words words. theory, deflection.
Ignore the surrounding site,and read this as stand alone.
If you dismiss this its obvious who you support.
Personally i dislike BOTH SIDES but i prefer historical truth which is being ignored. Israel should a waited till Jesus came back instead. then there would had been no argument.

This is nothing but a lie that you keep repeating over and over again. This map clearly shows the land that has been stolen anyone that thinks Israel isn't stealing land is a idiot.
Only a tiny percentage of land in Palestine was privately owned. The various categories of land ownership included:
Mulk: privately owned in the Western sense.
Miri: Land owned by the government (originally the Ottoman crown) and suitable for agricultural use. Individuals could purchase a deed to cultivate this land and pay a tithe to the government. Ownership could be transferred only with the approval of the state. Miri rights could be transferred to heirs, and the land could be sub-let to tenants. If the owner died without an heir or the land was not cultivated for three years, the land would revert to the state.
Mahlul: Uncultivated Miri lands that would revert to the state, in theory after three years.
Mawat (or Mewat): So-called “dead”, unreclaimed land. It constituted about 50 to 60% of the land in Palestine. It belonged to the government. …If the land had been cultivated with permission, it would be registered, at least under the Mandate, free of charge.
By the early 1940s Jews owned about one third of Mulk land in Palestine and Arabs about two-thirds. The vast majority of the total land, however, belonged to the government, meaning that when the state of Israel was established, it became legally Israel’s. (I believe that about 77% of the land was owned by the government, assuming 6 million dunams of private land as shown in this invaluable webpage on the topic from which I got much of this information.)
To say that the green areas were “Palestinian” land is simply a lie.
