They were mostly European refugees, you can't change that fact.

Interesting word, that... "Refugee." Why were they refugees?

Because the allies were not willing to do the right thing, force the
Germans, French and Russians to give them their land back.
For us, that would be the Truman administration.
It was easier to let them go invade a country full of brown people who
we did not care about.
FDR even refused admittance into the US during the war. (The St Louis
incident)
Nobody amongst the dems is willing to call their heroes anti-simitic
tho.

I wonder that if we knew we might want to buy oil from those arabs a
couple decades later that we would have made a different choice.

Really?

Apparently you aren't aware that in many European countries, Jews were
not allowed to own land or much of anything else in the way of real
property. That's why many became shopkeepers. Further, much of Europe
had been destroyed by years of heavy duty warfare, and there wasn't much
to go back to, eh? Third, many of those who left for Israel had already
spent years in concentration camps or in hiding, and it seemed
reasonable for them to seek out a better, if tough life, in an area that
was mostly unoccupied and undeveloped. Who do you think built and
occupied the kibbutzim? Finally, most of the civilized world after the
war was feeling guilty for allowing the slaughter of the Jews and felt
those people were "owed" back their historical homeland.

It has nothing to do with "brown" people, since, genetically, the
so-called Palestinians are pretty much the same stock as the
Mediterranean Caucasians who lived in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and in the
diaspora of the Jews.

Oh, I see we're back to the money thing again with you...the buying of
oil from the Arabs. Arabs, by the way, typically are classified as
"white people," not "brown people," and Muslims come in every skin
color. A few decent liberal arts courses might have "learned you" that.
And of course, Jews in fairly substantial numbers emigrated to Israel in
the late 19th Century and right after WWII in the 20th Century.

So now you agree it was just a bunch of European invaders. We are
getting somewhere.

No I just don't have your simpleminded view of things.

You write a 40 line dialog explaining why you think the European
refugees had the RIGHT to invade Palestine and then you deny it
happened. That is simple minded.

Really? There have been Jews in that part of the Middle East for
thousands of years, long before there were Muslims there.
