Part 1:
Yet another three posts of arrant nonsense and utter garbage.
Some examples:
1."Either the diaspora were not practicing their religion or Judaism did not promote Zionism.
The evidence supports the latter."
You wouldn't have the faintest idea. Jews for centuries have read the Old Testament every Saturday and on every Monday and Thursday and on Holydays year in and year out - besides praying for the redemption of the Jews in Jerusalem three times a day.
2. "Presenting the Torah as historical fact to support Zionist claims cannot be left unchallenged."
You insult and offend all believers - Jews, Christians and Moslems with this throwaway line.
Add Christian-hater and Moslem-hater to your Jew-hater title.
3. "This discussion is primarily about Palestine not Jordan, or Transjordan. The Peel Commission population figures above refer to Palestine as we know it. Clearly the Peel Commission's “first partition” was referring to that same Palestine."
No it isn't. Read article 25 of the Mandate. Transjordan was part of the Mandate for Palestine and remained so until it became independent in 1946.
That is why the Peel Commission recommended:
"two sovereign independent States would be established--the one an Arab State consisting of Trans-Jordan united with that part of Palestine which lies to the east and south of a frontier such as we suggest in Section 3 below; the other a Jewish State consisting of that part of Palestine which lies to the north and west of that frontier."
