Quite a severe attack there and in line with everything I have ever been taught about Israel's rightful place in Palestine. <br /><br />I think your education system, wherever you were unfortunate enough to go to school, has wholly underserved you. Or perhaps you are just lazy. <br /><br />"Jews comprised a majority of the poulatio in the land originally partitioned as Israel before a single Arab was ever displaced by the 1948 war."<br /><br />I'm no historian. Probably all the better.<br /><br />However, it doesn't take one to pull directly from the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine Report to the General Assembly, September 3, 1947, to see it is clear the Jews were absolutely positively NOT the majority in Palestine.<br /><br />To use your own words, whoever you are (your profile no longer exists so I am assuming you are another Israeli Hasbara Troll) you are in fact the one "warped and devoid of facts."<br /><br />Save the dull cries of anti-Semitism. The Holocaust was terrible, but I will not support another one with my US tax dollars to allow the victim to become the victimizer. Especially after the Gaza War.<br /><br />Again, The Jews were definitely, positively and absolutely NOT a majority in Mandated Palestine, at least in 1947.<br /><br />******************************************<br /><br />14. It will have been noticed that not only has there been a remarkably rapid increase in the total population of Palestine but also the proportion of Jews in the total has greatly increased, from 12.91 -per cent in 1922 to 32.96 per cent in 1946. Conversely, of course, the Arab proportion has fallen since 1922. The Moslem proportion of the population (almost entirely Arab) has fallen from about 75 per cent of the total to 60 per cent, and the Christian proportion (very largely Arab) from 11 per cent to 8 per cent. Thus, at the present time about one-third of the total settled population is Jewish.<br /><br />Arabs, 1,203,000; Jews, 608,000; others, 35,000; Total, 1,846,000.<br /><br />United Nations Special Committee on Palestine Report to the General Assembly, September 3, 1947, http://unispal.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/07175de9fa2de563852568d3006e10f3?OpenDocument.<br />Folke Murnodottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018111875555195737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365667.post-84179439367818883922014-09-18T22:31:49.679-04:002014-09-18T22:31:49.679-04:00It is terrifying to me that you are a history prof...It is terrifying to me that you are a history professor at an American university. Your description of the population in the British Mandate of Palestine in the 1940s is so warped and devoid of facts that it makes me wonder whether you've ever actually read a history book about it. It would take you all of about 10 minutes of actual historical studying to realize that Jews comprised a majority of the population in the land originally partitioned as Israel before a single Arab was ever displaced by the 1948 war. A real historian would also know that Jews of Middle Eastern origin comprised over half of the Jewish population of Israel by the end of the 1948 war. <br /><br />I could go on and on, but you really give up the goat when you cite anti-Semitic rags like Mondoweiss and Electronic Intifada. That says it all. Jay Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958380640847641201noreply@blogger.com
