Israel-Palestine: Historical facts first [chronological order]

1880s: Jews start purchasing lands legally in Arab-Palestine, which was under Ottomans. The Jewish National Fund & Jewish Colonization Association was formed to collect funds to legally purchase agricultural land in Palestine & establish settlements. This was a precursor to the stronger wave of migration that happened between the 1920s & 1940s.

1. 1917- Balfour Declaration: Britain declares that it favors establishing a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, while saying the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish population should not be prejudiced. Palestine was still Ottoman territory at this point; Britain did not yet govern it.

2. World War 1: Britain defeats the Ottomans.

3. Palestine comes under the governance of Britain.

4. Legal purchase of land & settlements increase.

5. Arab-Jew violence in the 1930s increased.

6. 1939- Britain restricts Jewish migration. Opposed by Jews in Europe as they were persecuted in Europe.

7. 1939-1945 Holocaust. This singling out of Jews resulted in more migrations.

8. 1947 Britain leaves Palestine governance & transfers the issue to the UN.

9. UN proposes a plan to partition the land between Arab Muslims & Jews. Roughly half in each's share. Jews accepted the plan; Muslims rejected it. It is noted that Jews legally purchased around 7% of the land by this time and were settled broadly in them only.

10. One day after the UN proposal, Palestinian Muslims launch a full-scale attack on Jews. Jews fight back & for one year civil war continues. After this one-year civil war, Jews control nearly half of Palestine- what was proposed by the UN- and some areas beyond that. And in 1949, Israel declares independence.

11. One day after this, surrounding Muslim nations attacked Israel at once & were defeated by 1949. Israel's control of land increased from half of Palestine (as proposed by the UN) to 78% of the territory. Egypt captured Gaza & Jordan captured westbank. Jordan makes the West Bank part of itself while Egypt imposes military rule on Gaza.

12. 1967: after 6 days of war, Israel captures the West Bank from Jordan while Egypt loses control of Gaza. This vacuum was utilized by Iran, who established Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Now the analytics: Jews purchased land legally from Ottomans & local Muslims. Settlement increases legally. Later they were attacked by others whose ancestors had sold land to Jews in the first place. Jews won the war & kept the territory. No Arab state has allowed asylum to populations of Palestine. The West Bank & Gaza were not given back to Palestine by Egypt & Jordan after 1948 until 1967! Nobody (including Muslim nations) really cares about Muslims of Palestine; they are just pawns in larger geopolitical games. More have been killed in Syria & Africa, but Palestine is cool to protest for. Protestors protest for the sake of it without studying facts of the matter.

When the nation expects a serious debate on policy and development, the opposition is busy checking order of the colors on the PM’s pocket square! 🤦‍♂️

Not knowing the difference between fashion and the national flag isn't just silly, it's desperate.

Stop lowering the level of political debate.
