Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
Would you have accepted someone slicing the territory your people lived in as far back as you remember, expelling you from your home and telling you to move someplace else? I wouldn’t have. Perhaps that’s why.
You mean the 1948 partition resolution (which didn’t expel anyone from anywhere) or the 1967 armistice borders? Or do you mean the illegal settlements in the West Bank?
Ah yes, nobody expelled anyone from anywhere in 1948.
Ok, fine, I read up on it and the Nakba was BEFORE the declaration of war by arab states. I think I saw an explanation that said they were expelled because they supported the arab invaders…which was propaganda I guess.
I guess it is a sort of “civil war” of independence, but still pretty fucked up any way you look at it :/
The DW documentary “Israel - Birth of a State” is very informative if you can find a way to watch it. It’s from earlier in 2023, by one of Germany’s major news outlets.
Man, I usually have no trouble finding these docs all over the internet, but this one was harder than expected for an official public broadcaster like DW. All samples in youtube were made private, even the ones that had been published in other sites, the Internet Archive version is mangled…piped and yewtube can’t show it… I had to stoop down to the level of removedute, but it was there :D thanks for the recommendation. https://www.removedute.com/video/zh8PPsipFwgH/
That’s weird. I watched it straight on DW’s YouTube channel in October. Well maybe not so weird.
It’s still up, but only in hindi :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSMpCPsZXdw
