Dispelling myths regarding the Palestine and Israel conflict
- Myth No.1: The right of return of Jews
The Jews here are not the same people who were expelled thousands of years ago
- The right of return of Palestinians
Are people who actually used to live in Palestine
- Myth No.2: The ancient kingdom of David
To prove it, a community of 50,000 Palestinians have been terrorised and removed from their homes
- HOW IT ALL BEGAN
In 1947 when the conflict began
Two communities
Jewish community a bit less than half a million
Palestinian Arab community 1.5 people
Both expecting to become a state
UN gave the larger area to the Jews and the smaller area to the Palestinians, the larger community
- Myth No 3: Arab communities did not accept UN decision in 1947
Zionist had force 40,000 military men
Palestinians have never had a military force
Arab armies did not enter the war until May 1948, ethnic cleansing had taken place already
Within a 12 month period displaced 1 million people
To be continued
