Reality never gets in his way. Vinnie thinks his loathing for the English (and Bush) and his unthinking reaction when talking about either aren't 'facts' and that noticing them is 'abuse'.

Germany had bugger all to do with "the Jews getting a Homeland", since such was proposed LONG before. My goodness what ignorance Germany was involved in a war with England and its ally was the Ottoman empire. England expected to take Palestine from Germany's ally, in the same way France expected to get territory directly from Germany etc. The promise was made to thank the Zionists for their support of the English war effort against the Germans What would be the definitive book or site for this information, Vince? - nilita For a quick cite Britannica Concise Chaim Weizmann born Nov. 27, 1874, Motol, Pol., Russian Empire died Nov. 9, 1952, Reovot, Israel Russian-born Israeli chemist and first president of Israel (1949–52). After studying in Germany and Switzerland, he earned a doctorate in chemistry and patented several dyestuffs before moving to England to teach in 1904. His 1912 discovery of a bacterium that could convert carbohydrate to acetone proved of great value to the British armaments industry in World War I (1914–18), and in return the government aided his negotiations for the Balfour Declaration (1917). 1916 - The secret Sykes-Picot Agreement was signed May 16 carving up the Mideast between England and France. Weizmann had been influential in the diplomacy leading to the agreement, insuring that Palestine would be internationalized and later become the Zionist state. Many British Jews opposed transferring national allegiance from Great Britain to Palestine during wartime. Weizmann therefore urged Great Britain to publicly support Palestine, and his greatest achievement in the Zionist movement was the alliance with the British government that culminated in the 1917 Balfour Declaration. http://history.sandiego.edu/GEN/ww1/weizmann.html No Germany, no war, no cordite shortage no Zionist influence No Balfour declaration The Jews, mostly from Russia, had been moving into the area since the 1880's buying up land from largely absentee Turkish landlords and this would have continued anyway. By the time of the annexation of the area by the British the Jewish populace was already seriously on the way to becoming a majority. Something which the Arabs were very worried about - as are most people who are in danger of becoming outnumbered by an immigrant population. It was the British who imposed serious limits on further immigration and land purchase. Eugene L Griessel The only cure for insomnia is to get more sleep. |
