Palestine
Palestine
There was no Palestine Nation nor Palestinian nationality through most of the history of the area. They went from the Ottoman empire to British control trying to keep the peace. While there were good people on both sides there were no side that was innocent. There still is not.
Palestine did not have a national government. It was just a place with isolated villages and towns ruled by others from the Romans to the caliphates and the Ottoman empire followed by the British rule.
Some towns like Nazareth was predominately Jewish. There was simply no united people or polity called Palestinian.
In the late 19th century there was a movement called Zionism, which sought to create a state that was galvanized by thousands of Jews being displaced from nations where they had often lived in for centuries.
The canal
About 3/4 of the territory of Palestine was Arab before the Suez canal. During its construct the Arab doubled and the Christian population more than doubled as immigrants came to supply labor.
The Jewish population increased by six times during the same time.
The people in Palestine after massive project building the Suez canal were from all over the world who came there as laborers. Some were Christian, many were Jews. Jews lived in the same area of Palestine for centuries.
Before the end of WW 1 there was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain promised its support for the establishment of a Jewish "national home" in Palestine.
A congress
Finally, in 1919 Arabs living in Palestine joined together to hold the first Palestine Arab Congress in Jerusalem. Because of their own common hate and bigotry they established a "representative government". This would have not happened except for their opposition to the Balfour Declaration and a Jewish representative government already forming.
In 1920 the British deemed essential for peace to create "Mandatory Palestine" with Jews, Christians, and Arabs alike. Between 1922 and 1947 the Christian and Moslem population only increased by maybe 20%. The Jewish population during the same time increased by nearly 700% mostly through immigration.
Jews also lived in many other Arab and European nations like Egypt where they were some times kicked out overnight with all their property confiscated and bank accounts seized.
They regularly fled all over the world under the threat of brutal treatment or death and of course many went to Israel which fueled Zionism.
The war
Arab leaders rose to more power by fostering hate for the Jews. They called Muslims to come out of the area of Palestine because they intended to annihilate the newly formed nation of Israel. After many deaths the nation still existed. This was not the result of any biblical prophecy.
Israel has always been the people who actually follow the ways of Abraham, Moses and Jesus who was the Christ. This is just two fools fighting in and endless struggle,both in need of repentance. Both are socialist states that do not follow the ways of Abraham, Moses and Jesus who was the Christ.
Genocide
Claims of Genocide by people often are the seeds of judgement and hate that leads to the absolution of a cycle of sin only to fuel the Fatal Sequence of self destruction.
The welfare state sears the conscience until the people sit in darkness. They deny their own willingness to defile their neighbor through abuse, covetous practices, and selfishness.
The people cry out as victims when they themselves have victimized others for years their is an hypocrisy that will lead them to destruction. If they oppress the stranger, the poor, the foreigner or members of their own family like their wives and daughters they sew the seeds that will blossom into Genocide, either of others or themselves.
Natives
In the case of the American Indian most of their deaths were the result of disease or tribal conflicts.
Before Strangers and pilgrims arrived in the Americas, native Americans were divided and had enslaved millions of other of their neighbors on the American continent. Groups of American Indians were already committing genocide on other groups of American Indians before white migrants arrived in America.
Their loyalty to tribal polities formulated the selfish political theory of manifest destiny despite the noble intent of the original White Pine Confederacy.
Serve self or others
The same is true of the private interpretation of Abraham, Moses and Jesus who was the Christ. A blindness is established within the soul and mind of those who accept pride as a virtue, excusing envy and jealousy as justified.
Cain killed his brother in the first act of genocide. Joseph's brothers turned on their own brother out of the same poison of pride and jealousy but they themselves went into bondage for generations. Saul sought to kill David but destroyed himself because of his desire and addiction to power over others.
There were large groups and individuals in the Middle East whose battle cry has been genocide of the people who had immigrated to that land before and after WW II. The Muslim religion has a history of oppressing their own wives and daughters to say nothing of the strangers in their midst, the people of other religions who may fall to the oppression of their sword.
The Jews and certainly Zionists are also tempted by a similar ideology of manifest destiny of a tribal superiority. Their identity as the superior or chosen people will be justified in their taste and appetite for power over others.
This foolishness brings darkness and then self destruction like the Saul Syndrome.
