  • It’s even funnier when we realize Russia is possibly the reason there even is an Israel-Palestine conflict.

    Jews fled Russia between 1880 and 1920. While a large majority emigrated to the United States, some turned to Zionism. In 1882, members of Bilu and Hovevei Zion made what came to be known the First Aliyah to Palestine, then a part of the Ottoman Empire.

    The Tsarist government sporadically encouraged Jewish emigration. In 1890, it approved the establishment of “The Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Palestine”[51] (known as the “Odessa Committee” headed by Leon Pinsker) dedicated to practical aspects in establishing agricultural Jewish settlements in Palestine.

    So they encouraged and supported those settlements.












  • It’s ironic because they did not drive the Palestinians out. Essentially they drove themselves out. They left because 7 Arab countries were about to launch a full scale invasion on Israel. So the Palestinian Arabs fled with their families before the bloodshed. There are as well accounts of villages being told by leaders to leave while IDF telling them to stay, Haifa for example. They figured they would return when the war was won. How embarrassing it is when you lose and can’t return.

    There is a greater conspiracy that Arab leaders wanted and let woman and children leave and denied temporary residency to the military aged men. They thought with the woman and children and elderly out the military aged would be more willing to fight. They told them to leave then upset they can’t return.

    As well there was never good relations with Lebanon when missles have always flown from Lebanon into Israel.
