Asking questions is important. I wouldnt torture and imprison Holocaust-Deniers. But we do have to keep a watchful eye on them because they same people (politically) that caused these genocides are the ones now claiming they did not happen. These people have a really cruel streak and are prone to violence. So I am not saying "imprison and torture", but I am saying keep the straitjacket ready just in case. Better safe than sorry

Which goes to show your ignorance of the matter.
Zionist immigrants to Palestine had been arriving since the 1900's - the modern Zionist movement having coalesced at eh end of hte 19th century with teh formation of the World Zionist Organisationthe pace accelerated in the 1920's after the Balfour declaration, and they bought land from the existing Arab population who were happy enough to sell until the political backlash to increasing numbers of Jewish settlers started.
But even after that - through the 1930's there weer still Arab sellers to Jewish purchasers for land.
Zionism is now and always has been, a movement to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The modern movment is a product of late 19th century manouvrings that were initially anti-russian, but ther have been zionist movemetns for centuries befoer then - dating back to the destruction of the 2nd temple by the Romans.
Redefining it to suit your own incorrect version of history, and then using that redefinition to justify your revisionism, is jsut bad circular reasoning!

Perhaps you missed my reference to the Settlers of 1948, finding in Israel: Muslims, Christians and Jews already living there and the Mizrahn -so certainly not the Zionist suggestion 'A land without people for a people without land'
When you take Zionism back to the destruction of the 2nd Temple time, are you referring to the Zealots, whose intimidation and murderous attacks, especially on Jews were linked to both religious and political beliefs. There is a trail through history where a certain group's "manoeuvrings" seem to bring the Amalekites out - always on those who least deserve it though.
Re your last paragraph I am wondering which 'history' you are referring to? I prefer to try to get at the facts. I suspect you might prefer Mr Netanyahu's legal, official State version which is fine, its your choice.
Also Doesn't God hate a liar?

You also contradict yourself in the OP, you can't have it both ways, did he want to deport the Jews or did he want to eradicate them? Pick one.
I can't even believe I got involved in this thread, arguing historical fact with a dash of religious nuttery.

That is not a Jewish zionist suggestion at all - it was coined by Christians!
it was used by Jewish zionists a miniscule number of times, and ascribed as a Zionist slogan by opponents of zionism - en.wikipedia.org...
as I said, you seem to know little

I am referring to zionism as a movement to get a Jewish homeland - it began pretty much immediately after hte 1st-2nd centure CE disapora's subsequent to Jewish revolt against roman rule, culminating in Bar Kokhba's revolt of 132-135 CE which saw a systematic attempt by the Romans to suppress judaism (including renaming Judea as "Syria Palestina") and the resultant diaspora of jews throughout the Empire and beyond - which of course also involved christianity more explicitly differentiating itself so as to avoid teh slaughter!

I have no idea what the official israeli version of history is - I know that some of your "facts" are clearly in error tho. If the Israeli's say something I disagree with I'll have at them about that/those too when I find them - I don't give a rotund rodent's rectum who they are

How can a non-existant being hate anyone?

Also, I believe the Palestinians have their own "Amalekite" nemesis. The Israelites. And they are probably hoping that the dang real Amalekites would hurry up and get er done already.
According to tradition, there are new Amalekites in every epoch. Last epoch it was Nazi Germany. This epoch it is the Hamas/Hezbollah faction. Thats what some Jews secretly believe. Palestinians on the other hand, have their own ancient beliefs about the Jews. Thats why its not likely that the MidEast conflict will be resolved anytime soon.

ps. Go ahead, call me an anti-semite. (I'm not btw) So I can remind you that European Jews are not of Middle-Eastern descent, and the term itself does not specifically point to anyone of Jewish descent in the first place, regardless of where you are pulling your terminology.
