'Israel declared itself an independent state on 14 May 1948, three years after the end of World War II, and the death of six million Jews in the Holocaust.'
Possibly the most mendacious summary of the creation of Israel outside of Egypt/Saudi Arabia/Iran.
'...The state of Israel was proclaimed about six months after the United Nations General Assembly voted to partition what was then Palestine into Jewish and Arab states.
In the war that followed, some 700,000 Palestinians fled or were driven out of their homes.
The anniversary is calculated according to the Jewish lunar calendar.
Palestinians are due to mark the occasion, al-Nakba, on 15 May.'
So, this war that followed which you glide so easily over- what was that all about? Did the Jews, murderous bastards that they are, attack the poor ickle Palestinians and rob them of their land? No? Oh....
So what happened then? All the surrounding Arab nations and the Arabs of the other half of Palestine attacked what they thought was defenseless little Israel, and got their arses kicked? Oh... how bizarre! Thats not the story we've heard!
No kidding...
