Zionist piracy

[GeoffP]

Except for the expulsion of 25000 Jews in 1956 from Egypt following the Suez crisis and Lavon affair, I seriously doubt all claims of expulsion of Jews from Arab lands.

Well that seems quite a balanced view.



(But wait! Geoff's the radical! Geoff!)

A very interesting claim. First time I have heard it. Can you document any of it? What states were the major expellers of Jews?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_and_Muslim_lands

See references from there.

How do you correct for the fact Israel was making it nearly a moral duty of Jews to migrate to Israel? - I.e. When Isaac left country X, how do you know he was "expelled" instead of responding to Israel's appeal for him to move to Israel?

Let see, if in country X your treated like shit and soon find laws all against you that strip you of rights, property and finances, and Israel says "come home were god wants you!" what options do you have, heck many went to America or other countries instead.

How were they expelled? I.e. were they herded onto trucks and driven to the border, or what?

Depending on the country, yes.

Are there any photos of this forced expelling? They exist even in the case of Nazi loading Jews onto trains and the Nazis had better control of photos etc than most (all I bet) of the Arab states near Israel so some photos of the forced expulsion should exist (assuming it did happen).

See tertiary reference at top.

do you love how people like electric use that to justify what Israel did to the palestinians even though it was in response to it?

Wait how is oppressing and kicking out Jews in their own countries a "response" to the formation of Israel? It would be like if the USA lost a war in Africa so they "respond" by oppressing black Americans (even harder) and getting them all to leave.

Ha. Sheesh. Do you people want for this thread to get closed or can we instead make a better effort to have general discussions of the final and just status of Israel/Palestine over here (please?):

One Thread To Rule Them All: Israel, Palestine and the Arab/Israel Conflict​

Let's not kill this thread yet:

Wait how is oppressing and kicking out Jews in their own countries a "response" to the formation of Israel?

its a response to the oppressing and kicking out of palestinians(arabs) which was needed for the formation of Israel. oh but that right in your mind one is ok but the other is reprehensible even though the one you hate is a resposne. their would have been no kicking out of jews had there been no kicking out of palestinians.

It would be like if the USA lost a war in Africa so they "respond" by oppressing black Americans (even harder) and getting them all to leave.

analogy fail.

Hype:

I think the thread is off target, and that the salient issues about the "piracy" are pretty well understood. (Or, in short: Geoff has won.) I recommend closing the thread.

 

[hypewaders]

Alright. I'll inform the media of the thread results.
