The app for independent voices
AGREED! however I must state that ACTUAL holocaust survivors in their 90s in Israel are never consulted. Most of them live in near poverty despite the billions in restitution that Israel CONTINUES to get from German government..so BLAME must be placed on the NEVER ENDING propaganda/hasbara/brainwashing from cradle to grave, now to THIRD generation post Holocaust...wallowing in the Shoah, 80 + years later, creates monsters. How do other populations move forward ? Armenians, Rwandans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Japanese, Koreans...on and on and on....THE FACT THAT ALL THIS WAS PREDICTED thanks to the EXCELLENT KING CRANE COMMISSION in 1919 perhaps is the icing on the top of all this..which was suppressed and ignored after presented to President. Wilson then. HERE is a snippet and link to the KING CRANE 1919 Report that EVERY AMERICAN especially should KNOW:presented to President Wilson in August/1919, it makes for some interesting reading. It is quite prophetic:
"The Peace Conference should not shut its eyes to the fact that the anti-Zionist feeling in Palestine and Syria is intense and not lightly to be flouted. No British officer, consulted by the Commissioners, believed that the Zionist program could be carried out except by force of arms. The officers generally thought that a force of not less than 50,000 soldiers would be required even to initiate the program. That of itself is evidence of a strong sense of the injustic e of the Zionist program, on the part of the non-Jewish populations of Palestine and Syria. Decisions, requiring armies to carry out, are sometimes necessary, but they are surely not gratuitously to be taken in the interests of a serious injustice. For the initial claim, often submitted by Zionist representatives, that they have a "right" to Palestine, based on an occupation of 2,000 years ago, can hardly be seriously considered. "
