How Germany won palestine

and why it should give it back

First, let me define the way I use the word "Europeans" in this text, for me, Europeans are the people living in central Europe as well as the masses in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States of America, Canada and Israel. Second let me add that the only reason I mention religions is because Hitler and the Nazis have set it as a goal to deal with them and ultimately affected Palestine ( to say the least ). Third, when I say Arab, it can be Atheist Arab, Jewish Arab, Christian Arab, Muslim Arab or Agnostic Arab.

In 1932 Hitler was elected in Germany and was the head of the National Socialist government, his views on the European Jewish community, and particularly the one in Germany have led to one of the most despicable and horrible disasters in history. But his plan to deal with the European Jews had started earlier than the WWII ( Reading: Francis R. Nicosia's, The Third Reich and the Palestine Question ) , in 1933 the Ministry of Economy had struck a deal with the Jewish Agency for Palestine ( Also called Haavara, Transfer Agreement, Sochnut or JAFI ) to prepare for a massive Jewish immigration to Palestine ( Zielland in German, meaning Country of destination ), Palestine was at the time under British mandate and the German policies where based on Zionism and British imperialism during the 1930's. Talks took place to move the European Jewish population to Poland, as many were established there, but the invasion of Poland has changed those plans.

This all led, after the unbearable massacre of millions of European Jews by Europeans during WWII to a UN resolution that actually went in the direction of Hitler, UN Resolution 181 signed by 33 nations in 1947. Here is the list of the countries that voted for it: Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Belarus, Canada, Costa Rica, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Iceland, Liberia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, South Africa, USSR, USA, Uruguay, Venezuela. As you can see no Arab close or far country had voted for it, even thought one would expect that the neighboring countries should have had a say, as bringing tens of thousands of Europeans that had been living in Europe for thousands of years whose language was German & Yiddish into an all Arabic Middle East should have triggered a doubt on cultural compatibility.

By now the Europeans have funded their fellow Europeans in Israel, as they have done in Australia against the Aborigines, as they have done in South Africa against the Natives, as they have done in the Americas against the Natives they are doing against the Palestinians. The Palestinians who have been disposed off in camps for the last 60 years dispersed in Syria, Jordan and Lebanon left to the mercy of countries that have to arm themselves to defend against the only Nuclear Power in the area, namely Israel or else they are occupied by the Europeans in Israel in the very land that was once theirs.

As you may have understood by now, I firmly believe that the Palestinian so called "conflict" is one of cultures and not religions, you may be following the level of Arab hate and Anti-Semitism developing in Israel ( Arab language is the worlds most spoken semitic language with more that 400 million speakers ), not to mention the neo-Nazi groups that are following a European born hate movement created in Germany. The fact that the conflict is one of cultures is only reenforced by the fact that the so called "Israelis" contribute in international sports events ( as in football ) as well as cultural events ( as in the Eurovision ) as europeans, playing in a European league even though they have Lebanon to the North, Syria and Jordan to the East and Egypt to the south, only those countries represent ten times the population of Israel, and they are all Arab nations.

Now, let's assume that the European Jews had the historic right to return to the Middle-East after thousands of years of absence, then how come you call the europeans living in Australia: Australians, in New Zealand: New Zealanders, in South Africa: South Africans, in the United States: Americans ( oddly so as they should be called United Staters ) and Canada: Canadians even though they have only moved from Europe a few hundred years ago? What is a few hundred years in comparison to thousands of years? Don't they all have a different culture by now than the one they originated from? I think thousands of years have to change you more than a few hundred ones.

So Europeans, let's not wait for something that will only happen in a few hundred years, namely Peace. Admit that Hitler was wrong, and admit that continuing in his horrific legacy is a mistake. The world can't and does not have to treat you like a spoiled child and bend and bow to your every wish, take your responsibilities towards humanity and bring justice to people and to the planet by stopping to exploit them blindly, as there is no such thing as a superior race and the issue of survival is about the fittest and not the most unreasonable. Many occupations have lasted hundreds of years, but justice have been seen to prevail, make it prevail. You can distribute Nobel Peace Prices prolifically but it is on your actions that you are truly perceived. Help us perceive you in a better more just light.
