    Facts and fictions...

     

    People arguing about the issue regarding Palestine and Israel should be well informed about the history of the area to make fair judgments. I've been reading about it for some time and obviously know that it didn't start yesterday or for the matter of fact, it didn't start with the Hamas launching rockets into Israeli territory. Their faith has been pre-determined way before (40 years before to be nearly exact).

     

     

    Looking back I found couple of interesting points made by British politicians and government officials, who practically controlled Palestine territory between World War I and World War II :

     

     

    "There are people who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden resources. They dominate the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradle of human civilizations and religions.

     

     

     

    These people have one faith, one language, one history and the same aspirations.

     

     

     

    No natural barriers can isolate these people from one another... if per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state, it would then take the fate of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world.

     

     

    Taking these considerations seriously, a foreign body should be planted in the heart of this nation to prevent the convergence of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in never-ending wars. It could also serve as a springboard for the West to gain its coveted objects." - Prime Minister Henry Bannerman, Campbell-Bannerman Report, 1907 +

     

     

    Guess who was the foreign body? Zionist-who believed that Jews cannot live with non-Jews?

     

     

    "In Palestine we do not propose to even go through the formality of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants.... The four powers are committed to Zionism." - Lord Balfour Four powers? - Britan, Russia, USA and France.

     

     

    Who is to blame?.. Who is playing what game?
