Revisionist BS. Little Tich Apr 2016 #2

Except he's talking about what happened in 1947 that led to 1948. aranthus Apr 2016 #3

Please read the Wikipedia article again. Little Tich Apr 2016 #36

Perhaps you should re-read it with an eye to the thread topic. aranthus Apr 2016 #43

Perhaps I'm reading the article differently. Little Tich Apr 2016 #60

Which article? aranthus Apr 2016 #61

Funny. One of your favorite, most trusted historians is a revisionist: Ilan Pappe shira Apr 2016 #7

Pappe may be a "revisionist", but he's not a Revisionist: Ken Burch Apr 2016 #31

He's a hack & fraud with zero credibility. He has admitted he doesn't deal in facts. n/t shira Apr 2016 #32

I think your interpretation is incorrect. Little Tich Apr 2016 #37

Pappe admits he's driven by ideology rather than facts. He's a propagandist.... shira Apr 2016 #39

The Tantura massacre "myth"? Little Tich Apr 2016 #41

Pappe claims a massacre took place there. He's a liar, now isn't he? n/;t shira Apr 2016 #42

The grand Mufti really did that shit, it's not a story, its history... King_David Apr 2016 #5

Yes he did what he did...but that simply means HE was a bastard. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #6

So this should be surpressed because you've decided the motive for posting it ? King_David Apr 2016 #9

It is historically important, but it needs to be acknoweledged Ken Burch Apr 2016 #14

So you think you should whitewash it ? King_David Apr 2016 #17

No, not whitewash it, but place the blame where it belongs: Ken Burch Apr 2016 #18

Your duty here is to protect the reputation of the Palestinian people's? King_David Apr 2016 #21

No, to stand against collective punishment of those living today Ken Burch Apr 2016 #23

The problem in the Mideast is that *everyone* has both historical, and refreshed, excuses villager Apr 2016 #27

What then, indeed? Ken Burch Apr 2016 #30

Thanks, Ken. I've given up hope, actually, that either side will stop "Otherizing" their "enemies." villager Apr 2016 #35

Israel is actually beating the water problem, defying drought conditions.... shira Apr 2016 #33

And the comments section gets right back to my post. villager Apr 2016 #34

It doesn't apply to Palestinians, apparently: Little Tich Apr 2016 #38

No doubt it is a problem, but THE problem? aranthus Apr 2016 #46

Not at all. aranthus Apr 2016 #44

The Palestinians DID accept Israel's right to exist. In 1994. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #45

If that were true, then they wouldn't keep pushing for Right of Return. aranthus Apr 2016 #47

The fear(soon realized) of mass dispossession and exile were one of the major reasons Ken Burch Apr 2016 #48

HORSE HOCKEY! aranthus Apr 2016 #50

I've said nothing personally abusive to you. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #51

Yea but your post was complete nonsense King_David Apr 2016 #59

Both sides are to blame. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #67

Yea but your post was utter nonsense King_David Apr 2016 #68

Nor have I to you. aranthus Apr 2016 #62

And it isn't even as simple as saying the Palestinians started it. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #66

Why shouldn't Palestinians who has their homes stolen... Bohemianwriter Apr 2016 #57

Recognition issue has not been put to rest at all King_David Apr 2016 #58

Take a minute and think leftynyc Apr 2016 #10

Think even today how advanced they would be King_David Apr 2016 #11

Instead leftynyc Apr 2016 #12

To call them fringe leftynyc Apr 2016 #15

Yep King_David Apr 2016 #16

It has never been all the Palestinians' fault. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #19

I didn't claim otherwise leftynyc Apr 2016 #20

I don't approve of their tactics, but what they were offered in '48 was too small to be a real state Ken Burch Apr 2016 #22

The '47 partition plan was more a state than what the Palestinians are asking for today.... shira Apr 2016 #24

What utter HORSESHIT leftynyc Apr 2016 #25

Why should anyone accept being mugged? Scootaloo Apr 2016 #55

The OP isn't nonsense or lies. In fact, it's impossible to understand I/P... shira Apr 2016 #29

Israel haters don't like being reminded that their cause is linked to Nazi Jew hatred. n/t shira Apr 2016 #40

The Israel-Arab War started when the Irgun attacked some Arabs Tony_FLADEM Apr 2016 #49

Not true. aranthus Apr 2016 #63

The Arab Palestinians did not have a military so how were they able to launch attacks? Tony_FLADEM Apr 2016 #64

Of course they had a military. aranthus Apr 2016 #65
