An immoral boycott

32. Where are you getting that 'knowledge' of what happened in 1947?

Because it's a bit on the simplistic, inaccurate and totally one-sided side of things.

Yr talking about the UN Partition Plan where they divvied up Palestine? That wasn't an offer of a state, that was a decision made to divide up Palestine. The Jewish Agency agreed with parts of it and not with other parts, and as far as I know Palestinians weren't asked, and it was Arab leaders who refused it. If someone were to come along and partition Australia, I'd be pretty pissed off about the whole thing and opposed to it. Partition plans back then tended to lead to lots of upheaval and bloodshed...

See, yr doing that thing where you talk about the Palestinian people as though they're a bunch of terrorists. 'When they lay down their arms..until then they can thank their terrorist leaders...' If anyone spoke that way about Israelis, they'd be rightly called out on their bigotry and the same should apply when it comes to the Palestinian people.


btw, just a reminder, but the discussion in this part of the thread was about equal rights for Israeli Arabs. It's just that yr sentence 's far as equal treatment - when they lay down their arms and sit down to talk peace, they'll get equal treatment - until then, they can thank their terrorist leaders for the treatment they get.' makes it look like yr talking about Palestinians and not Israeli Arabs...
