You state:
"The Israelis got their foot in the door using WW2 and the leverage gained from the German holocaust against the Jews."

Wrong - the Jews got their foot in the door in 1920 after WW1 at the San Remo Conference and Treaty of Sevres and in 1922 when all 51 member Nations in the League of Nations unannimously endorsed the right of the Jewish people to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in Palestine under the Mandate for Palestine.

That is what the Jews have been legally engaged in doing since - managing to increase the Jewish population from 83790 in 1922 to 474102 in 1941 - despite the best attempts by the Arabs to prevent these Jews from entering Palestine to build up the Jewish Home in accordance with the above League of Nations decision.

The Arabs have never accepted that League of Nations decision favouring the Jews - even though the the Arabs ended up with 99% of the territory freed from Ottoman Empire rule after 400 years - which was granted to the Arabs under the Mandates for Syria and Lebanon and Mesopotamia - whilst the Jews got the remaining 1% under the Mandate for Palestine.

As a result there is now one Jewish State and 21 Arab States in the world.

Obviously you think that was a bad deal for the Arabs.

Coveting the one Jewish State as well - which would fit into Tasmania three times- is a pretty greedy and uncompromising position for the Arabs (with the notable exceptions of Egypt and Jordan) to seriously maintain. Don't you agree?

Is your support for the overwhwelming majority Arab position taken out of Jew-hatred or simply because you have swallowed Arab propaganda hook line and sinker - especially given the furphy raised by you in your above statement which I have pointed out is totally and unequivocally false?

Withdrawing that statement would show you are indeed prepared to reason and reconsider when confronted with facts that make your statement look really stupid.

Go for it

Beware of the defilers of language, aka propagandists.

Ideology religion are the chosen responsibility of the individuals who espouse them. They embody intentions, often not benign, towards other people.

Race (or ethnicity), a loose term for genetic inheritance, is inborn and not the choice or responsibility of any individual.

Racism is assigning greater or lesser worth to individuals or groups than to others on the basis of race (or ethnicity).

Antisemitism is a specific form of racism. So is Zionism. Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf) and David Singer (OLO) have frequently expressed racism in relation to Jews. This is summarised in shorthand as “the Jews”, i.e. including the definite article “the” as if they were a nationality not an arbitrary category based on genetics like Celts.

In most European countries, and many others including Britain. America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, Jews are equal in law to everyone else. They don’t need another homeland – they already have homelands like the rest of us. Equality however is intolerable to Zionist racists. Hence the seizure of part of Palestine and increasing encroachment on the rest of it. And hence the unending resistance by militant Palestinians.
