Where were all those Jewish refugees to be placed then? In the homes of the Palestinians within the newly created Israel?
As you can tell from the endless kvetching about them, the jews are perfectly capable of building houses and settlements for themselves.
Quote:You are up in arms over a few boat people. How would you possibly cope if the victims of the war on terror were to be granted NSW as their own country?
The boat people parallel is completely phoney. It would remotely valid if these boats were carrying exiled Aboriginese.
The NSW comparison even more so. Even a Tasmanian comparison would be an exaggeration as it is 3 times as big as Israel.
How about you have a look at comparable transfers of territory elsewhere after WWI and WWII?
Nations that gained territory after World War I
Yugoslavia (as the successor state of the Kingdom of Serbia)
Romania
Greece
France
Italy
Denmark
Belgium
Czechoslovakia
Poland
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
United Kingdom – League of Nations Mandates
Japan
Nations that lost territory after World War I
Germany- forced to give it up after the Versailles Treaty
China – Jiaozhou Bay and most of Shandong in North China forcibly ceded to the Japanese Empire
Russian SFSR (as the successor state of the Russian Empire)
Weimar Germany (as the successor state of the German Empire)
Austria (as the successor state of Cisleithania and the Austro-Hungarian Empire)
Hungary (as the successor state of Transleithania and the Austro-Hungarian Empire)
Turkey (as the successor state of the Ottoman Empire)
Bulgaria
United Kingdom – most of Ireland as the Irish Free State, Egypt in 1922
All peaceful. Only the Arabs can't swallow the changes because it is the Jews who gained a country. There was none of this crap when they were under Turkish rule, because the Turks were muslims.
So this whole Pallo bizo isn't about territory, it is about the jews.
