I understand that their was a war in which hundreds of thousands of Arab and Jewish civilians from towns in Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and other places were created as a result of the war perpetrated by the armies of 5 Arab states and the Palestinian Arabs against the fledgling Jewish state who were given a tiny incongruous sliver of land in the British Mandate.
But I must ask, and seek an honest answer...if the Jews had lost, and they were indeed driven in to the sea, or killed en masse where they stood, would the Arabs place signs reading "Here stood "Tel Aviv" and "Here Stood Kiryat Chaim" and "Here stood Rishon LeTzion" whose Jewish inhabitants were massacred at the hands of marauding Arabs...?
The answer is clearly NO! The Arab people, on May 14th, 1948 were given a choice between war and peace. They choose war and must bear FULL RESPONSIBILITY for the consequences.
Once again...CASE CLOSED!!! |
