Thanks Val, for your input. It's sad, but true. This is probably the best little sociology experiment to date. History does repeat itself and it is largely due to the fact that so few people know or understand history - and your explaination may just be the reason why. Alas, we are destined to repeat our mistakes over and over again.

Good thread. I was surprised to not see Jabotinsky (he of the 'Iron wall') mentioned, but a generally good outline of the issue. Sometimes does feel that modern history began in 1948 when I read discussions of Israel/Palestine.

ABE: I think similar claims of bias could be made against one of Val's articles. But I've only read part one. I'm not sure I've got the energy to read nine more, lol. It brushes over much of the zionist violence vs. the arabs during the mid to late 30s - Jabotinksy's Irgun. Indeed, they were labelled as a 'terrorist' organisation by many at the time, and can readily be seen as religious fundamentalist terrorists in retrospective (not that different than Hamas). But hey-ho. You, also, have done a good job of outlining this complex issue.

Kozmo, From what I understand, the Zionists approached the British leadership about a year after the Lusitania was sunk and offered them a proposition. The British were getting their butts kicked by the Germans at that time and were running out of food too. The Germans had cut off their supply ships.

The British were in a state of panic, very close to having to surrender to the Germans. The Zionists, led by a Rothschild, told the British that if they could get the United States to enter the war to help Britain win the war, they wanted Britain to guarantee the land of Israel to the Zionists.

Because the British just knew the United States was not going to get involved they agreed to the terms of the Zionist deal. This is when the Zionists pulled off a false flag operation, the sinking of the SS Sussex, a large ferry boat supposedly carrying about 35 Americans was reported sunk in the English Channel by a German U-boat.

When this news hit the American congress, war was declared against Germany, mainly because Americans were still angry about the sinking of the Lusitania a year earlier. So, then America entered the war and kicked Germany's butt. Later it was discovered that the SS Sussex event never happened. It was a complete lie.

That's why the Zionists got Israel. They lied and got America involved in a bloody war. The Zionists have been evil since day one!
