Did you ever notice that Palestinian Arabs were never "occupied" by Jordan? Or Britain? Or Ottomans?

I saw this at the UN website:


Of course, they mean 50 years of "occupation" by Jews.

Because no one was overly concerned about the previous 19 years of "Palestinian territory" being annexed or administered by Jordan or Egypt.

Or the 30 years of British administration before that.

Or the 400 years of Ottoman rule before that.

No, the only interest in what the world now calls "Palestinian lands" only started when Jews have some level of control over them. Not when generations of others - Muslims and Christians, Arabs and non-Arabs - controlled the land.

Somehow, only the years when the life expectancy of Palestinians skyrocketed, when the infant mortality rate plummeted, when practically all of the universities and major hospitals were built in the territories - only those years are considered tragic.

The entire exercise of "50 years of occupation" is underlined by blatant hypocrisy. If there was no Six Day war, the West Bank Palestinian Arabs under Jordanian rule would be just as interesting as the East Bank Palestinians are today - meaning, not at all.  Gazans would remain in an effective Egyptian prison, with no ability to move to Egypt itself - but no one would be talking about it.

The self-rule that most Palestinians in the territories enjoy today would never have happened.

And no one would be writing op-eds about it.

I am assuming it comes from the fact that the others didn't kick them off their land.

There are Refugees in Australia from Palestine that are the direct result of Israel taking their homes (often multi-generation farms)

Well that shows how little you know of history

Most of today's Palestinians are migrants from Syria, Egypt, Jordan etc. The concept of a Palestinian Arab people did not form until the 1960's

Jews bought land legally off Arabs, as well as those who had been living there centuries and the Palestinians fled in the main after they started a civil war in the Mandate in 1947. So the direct result for them being in Australia is due to the inability of Palestinians being able to live side by side with Jews, refusing to except their right to exist as a nation.

But yeah lets forget how 800,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from the Middle east and North Africa, simple because Israel existed.

Unlike you i actually know people personally affected, I'm not just some self proclaimed crusader trying to fight by keyboard filling him self with articles he read

Well you should tell them its their own fault for starting a civil war and hate against the Jews.
Just think they would have a state today and their homes if they had accepted the 1937 partition plan and then the 1947 partition plan.

They instead choose hate and violence and lost.
