RE: What Is Really Happening With Israel, The U.S. & The UN Resolution

in #news8 years ago

Palestine was a country that was part of the Ottoman empire. The Balfour declaration in 1917 was to establish a national home for Jewish peoples. The foundation for this declaration is based off the religious ideology that Jews have a religious right to reside in the territory because the Jewish King David once occupied Jerusalem. It's a holy place for the Jewish sect, and that is why the state of Israel was given the land. If the Ottoman empire won world war two this would never have happened, and the territory would've stayed entirely under Arab Palestinian rule.

Israel has since created apartheid in the region between Jews and Arabs, not to mention to segregation of Palestinians during the Palestine war of 1948.

The truth is that Israel is an illegal state because Great Britain never had the right to proclaim a settlement in Palestinian territory, and did so through abuse of power.

This is one of those cases where the victors control the spoils.

Sort:  

Furthermore, Israel has become a military power for the Western Alliance and has played an important role in overthrowing regimes in the middle eastern region ever since its inception.

Jews have lived there for thousand of years, not just because King David "once occupied Jerusalem." (The very word is Hebrew, as is the word P'lishtim, which is where the Palestinians get their name...)

P'lishtim was Palestine, andit has been an Arab majority since the Persian empires took it from the Roman empire. Lets not forget that the Roman Empire politically over threw the Hebrew rule of that region.
