basilico:+ GracieX3 is right. It is absurd to deny a people who have lived somewhere for over a thousand years indigene-ship of that place. And this is regardless of if others have lived there before as well. You would not dream of saying that White Americans are not indigenes of America today and yet they have lived there for only about half the time Arabs have lived in Palestine. Let us take a walk down the demographics of the area through history to understand the issues better. The history of the matter is that roughly two thousand years ago, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews into diaspora. They went into Persia but mostly into Europe where they suffered much persecution through the middle ages, the renaissance, the enlightenment and all the way through to the 20th century where they suffered the holocaust. In the intervening time, Islam had arisen in the 7th Century AD, and by the turn of the millennium the crusades had begun in which troupe after troupe of Christian armies generation after generation sought to displace the Muslims from the "Holy Land." This went back and forth over a couple of centuries and the land would alternate between Islamic and Christian authority - all the time retaining a small Jewish population. The long and short of it is that the presence of Arabs in that land dates back at least one thousand years now. Now, moving on, by the time the second world war ended, I hope you know that the British had made promises to the Jews via Zionists that they would create a homeland for them in Palestine. At that time, the place was mostly occupied by Arabs like I said, for about a thousand years already. It is unreasonable to claim that it was not home to them. Besides, the European Jews who were returning had been so adulterated that one cannot really claim that they are necessarily of the same ancestry as the Israelites of old. Frankly, most of them today are noticeably white. At the end of the 19th century, the Jewish population in Palestine constituted a small minority, making up about 5-7% of the total population. The majority of the population was Muslim (around 80%) and Christian (around 10%)." Please look at the table of demographics in the link below which sets out the percentage of population of each group (Muslim, Christian and Jewish) at various points in history. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-and-non-jewish-population-of-israel-palestine-1517-present You will note that - 1. From 1517 to 1882 through the rule of the Ottoman empire, the Jewish population varied from 1.7% to 8%. Thus it is clear that the Jews were a distinct minority throughout that period. 2. By the end of the 1st World War, they had become 9.1%. 3. Throughout the period of the British Mandate they grew from 11 percent in 1922 to 32% in 1937. This was the period of the first wave of significant Zionist migration from Europe, and so it is obvious that the majority of Jews in the land were now migrants from Europe. But hang on, the evidence gets worse - 4. Between 1947 and 1948 - a period of one year only - the year of the creation of the State of Israel, the percentage of Jews jumped from 32% to a staggering 82% - in ONE year only! This shows conclusively two things - a. That the migration from Europe formed almost all of the population of Jews by that time as compared to the negligible percent prior to the British Mandate b.In the same period of ONE year the poulation of non-Jews fell from 1.3 million people to 156, 000 people! The foregoing discloses conclusively what had transpired. A mass migration of Europeans had flooded the land and there was a mass evacuation/ removal of non-Jews. Please note that these figures are from the Jewish Virtual Library, lest you claim they are biased. |

DeepSight:Trust me , I have a very open mind. I'll call it corruption. Pick the most obvious one then, just one. |

DeepSight:No one denied them, they wanted it all. and as a result they got nothing. Jews have always maintained presence in that land. Ancient Period c. 1200–1000 BCE – Early Israelites settle in Canaan c. 1000 BCE – United Kingdom of Israel (David & Solomon) 722 BCE – Assyrian Empire conquers northern kingdom (Israel) 586 BCE – Babylonian Empire destroys Jerusalem & First Temple (exile begins) Classical Empires 539 BCE – Persian Empire conquers Babylon → Jews allowed to return & rebuild (Second Temple) 332 BCE – Greek (Hellenistic) rule begins (Alexander the Great) 167–160 BCE – Maccabean Revolt → brief independent Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom 63 BCE – Roman Empire takes control Roman & Byzantine Period 70 CE – Romans destroy Second Temple 132–135 CE – Bar Kokhba revolt → Jews largely expelled; region renamed “Palestina” 300s–600s CE – Byzantine (Eastern Roman) rule; limited Jewish presence remains Islamic & Medieval Period 638 CE – Arab Caliphates conquer the region; Jews return in small numbers 1099–1291 – Crusader rule (massacres, decline of Jewish population) 1291–1517 – Mamluk rule; small but continuous Jewish communities Ottoman Period 1517–1917 – Ottoman Empire; steady Jewish presence, growth in cities like Jerusalem, Safed, Hebron Late 1800s – Zionist immigration increases Jewish population Modern Period 1917–1948 – British Mandate; large-scale Jewish immigration 1948–Present – Establishment of the State of Israel; Jewish majority restored Key takeaway Jewish presence in the land was continuous but fluctuating—ranging from majority rule (ancient kingdoms, modern Israel) to minority communities under various empires. |

DeepSight:Oga, stop lying with what you don't know. 1947 UN Partition Plan context: Jews approx 33% of the population in Mandatory Palestine 1949–1950 after war + displacement: Jews aprox 80–85% within the new State of Israel’s borders |

raumdeuter:Notice how he started calling budaatum names, someone who is always on his side just because they disagree on one topic. But just as budaatum told me, he deserved it too. Deepsight will cry about slurs and racism, but he's quick to throw those racist tropes at people who disagree with him. |

A pack of lies dressed as the truth.ill respond better in a few days . The growth of the Jewish population is also because Jews in Arab neighbors were all expelled leaving their wealth and homes behind. I don't know where your 156000 figure came from it appears in image below DeepSight:

benalvino3: raumdeuter:+ Its not hard pointing to Trump's corruption. For a convicted felon, there is judicial evidence anyway and aside from this the man has literarily confessed to various acts of abuse of office for personal gain since he assumed office. That's why his wealth has vastly increased since he resumed again. Its just that the Trump phenomenon is so remarkable that he is strangely able to get away with murder in broad day light. But why would I waste energy on the subject with people who would proclaim him innocent regardless of what he does. Those are the people that are really emotional and at least one of them never went to school - a ram. |

raumdeuter:So when isreal kills Palestinians, it is self defence. But when Palestinians do it, it is terrorism. Please why are you calling Palestinians murderous thugs when isreal has killed journalists, doctors, and nurses from other countries in Gaza |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 1:39pm On Mar 26 |
DeepSight:The same energy you are using to explain, would have been use to do what you said is easy. You got nothing. |

benalvino3:+ What name did I call him? I said he was being silly. And he was. Secondly, you now make it obvious that you have a school playground gang mentality when you talk about sides. ' I have no side. |

I hope as they prepare to deal a final blow, they preserve the lives of the Iranians they are trying to emancipate.

DeepSight:Who says your figures are wrong? I said your conclusion is a lie. What do you not understand in Within the borders of Israel as a new state ? |

DeepSight:Of course you have no side, but your side is the cuucuu side called leftism 🤡 🤡 🤡 clown side. |

benalvino3:See the person calling someone ignorant. Religious books are not history books. The fact remains that the Jews that came to Palestine in 1948 were not linked to that area for over a 1000 years. In fact, some Palestine people have more semitic heritage than most Jews in Israel today |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 1:53pm On Mar 26 |
DeepSight:Okay..I asked google Gemini Mandate Palestine includes the whole of Jordan today.

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 1:58pm On Mar 26 |
GracieX3:It is history book. The Bible talked about the Jews, the land, the Quran talked about the Jews the land. What the bible and the Quran never mentioned are the Palestinians. The Jews have always been there, build the first temple, conquered, they were allowed to build the second temple. That's not a fact. Many Jews that were exiled returned to the Jewish state that was created. Jordan is supposed to be part of Israel because that was a British mandate too. But the Jews are okay with what they got, why do the so-called Palestinians want blood and want everything? |

DeepSight:Let test something out What was Obama worth before getting into politics, what was his worth after politics, How many percentage increase did he have Then do the same for Trump |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:16pm On Mar 26 |
basilico:+ Focus on the principles I laid out. Start with this - You would not dream of saying that White Americans are not indigenes of America today and yet they have lived there for only about half the time Arabs have lived in Palestine. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 2:17pm On Mar 26 |
GracieX3:Israel was minding its business when Palestinan thugs Hamas went to kill them on October not military target but concert goers, boys and girls who went to party were graped, killed and burned Israel was going to get Hamas thugs who hide themselves with among Palestinian civilians, if Hamas will separate themselves from the civilians you will not see casualties Its like you punch me, I now want to punch you back then you go hide behind your 4yr old |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:18pm On Mar 26 |
raumdeuter:+ I struggle to see the point in this experiment. By the way, I have a lot of serious criticisms of Obama which shows me to be balanced. Do you have a single serious criticism of Trump-Christ? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:19pm On Mar 26 |
raumdeuter:+ It is not minding your business to expand illegally into the West Bank, practice apartheid there against the Palestinians and cage the people of Gaza in an open air prison. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 2:20pm On Mar 26 |
DeepSight:Lmao go back 2018 and 2019, you will realize he was not even a Trump supporter |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:21pm On Mar 26 |
GracieX3:+ Well said. The truth is that the generality of the "returnee" so called European Jews cannot be shown to be the Israelites of old. It is not surprising that most of them are noticeably white. The Israelites of old were not white. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:22pm On Mar 26 |
benalvino3:+ What matters is today. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 2:24pm On Mar 26 |
DeepSight:Some how you think he is 100% Trump, during the primaries, he was for DeSantis. So how are you different then? Just the way you have plenty criticism for Obama, he has for Trump. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 2:25pm On Mar 26 |
benalvino3:+ Well I am yet to see any. As I told you, I am relatively new on this particular thread. |
