Reply #39: A Glutton For Punishment, It Seems [View All]

The numbers of persons who fled the '48 conflict are well established: their descendants have not been displaced, but reside where they were born. You cling to fictions like a cartoon coyote clutching an anvil off a cliff's edge, and it will serve you no better than it does your avatar. Millions have not been displaced, whether in your own, or any other's, lifetime.

You are again flat wrong in stating there was U.S. assistance to Israel in '48. Neither monies, weapons, nor man-power was supplied. The United States voted for the Partition in '47, and recognized the state of Israel on its declaration. So did the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union also supplied Israel with substantial quantities of weaponry, via Czechoslovakia, recently become a Soviet satillite at that time: indeed, the first Israeli fighter planes were Czech manufactured Messerschmitts. France, too, supplied quantities of weaponry.

As to your comments on that particular hill in Jerusalem: are you of the opinion Jews should be barred from visiting sites they consider holy?
