...Here he is entirely accurate. Moreover he does not refer to all Jews everywhere, as the critic alleged, but rather only to the unfortunate Jewish Zionists who fled a devestated Europe, where they were among the chief victims of hatred and an awful attempt at extermination, to found a new sanctuary state for themselves, but on the backs of another, and equally innocent, people.
Uh, the Arabs rioted against the Jews back in the earlier part of the 20th century, when Arabs (aka, Palestineans) realized the dream of a Zionist State, based on land bought from the Ottoman Empire, was not dying.
Also, having pointed out the problem, in your opinion ("but on the backs of another, and equally innocent, people"), do you have a solution, in context of not one country of origin wanted these survivors back?
Your analysis, in my opinion, is flippant, based on your not giving a solution for a most despised, pariah people in the Christian Europe that so many people descend from.
Did anyone offer the survivors to have their own territory in Germany? Poland? Voila! Dump them in Israel, since I would believe only the religious Jews were asked, "Where would you like to go?"
In other words, in my opinion, Israel was a booby-prize from the outset, since no one expected them to live in peace.
