ISLAM CHANNEL NEWS How many Israeli soldiers does it take to provoke a Palestinian into wanting revenge? Just one. Zionism Facts in Year 1914 Palestine had a population of 657,000 Muslim Palestinian people, 81,000 Christian Palestinian population, and 59,000 Mizrahi Jews (including many European Jews from the first and second Aliyah) The Jewish population in Palestine as of 1914 were under 8% of the total population, which was much smaller than the Palestinian Christian population. Jews had lived in peace in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and in nearly all Islamic countries for 2000 years. It was Zionism, not Judaism or Islam, which created the current state of ethnic hatred in Palestine Worldwide, many Jews reject Zionism. Zionism arrived in Palestine in the late 19th as a colonialist movement motivated by national impulses. The colonisation of Palestine fitted well the interests and policies of the British Empire on the eve of the First World War. With the backing of Britain, the colonization project expanded, and became a solid presence on the land after the war and with the establishment of the British mandate in Palestine (which lasted between 1918 and 1948). The Great Palestinian Revolt in 1936 against both London and the expanding Zionist colonization project. The revolt, which lasted for three years, failed to sway the British mandate from a policy it had already decided upon in 1917. The British foreign secretary, Lord Balfour, had promised the Zionist leaders that Britain would help the movement to build a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. The number of Zionist Jews coming into Palestine increased by the day, although even at that point, during the 1930s, the Jews were just a quarter of the population, possessing 4 percent of the land. Palestinian Resistance to colonialism strengthened, the Zionist leadership became convinced that only through a total expulsion of the Palestinians would they be able to create a state of their own. From its early inception and up to the 1930s, Zionist thinkers propagated the need to ethnically cleanse the indigenous population of Palestine If the dream of a Zionist state were to come true. The preparation for implementing these two goals of statehood and ethnic supremacy accelerated after the Second World War. The Zionist leadership defined 80 percent of Palestine (Zionist Israel today without the West Bank) as the space for the future state. This was an area in which one million Palestinians lived next to 600,000 Jews. The idea was to uproot as many Palestinians as possible. From March 1948 until the end of that year the plan was implemented despite the attempt by some Arab states to oppose it, which failed. 750,000 Palestinians were expelled, 531 villages were destroyed and 11 urban neighborhoods demolished. Half of Palestine's population was uprooted and half of its villages destroyed. The Zionist state of Israel was established in over 80 percent of Palestine, turning Palestinian villages into Jewish settlements and recreation parks, but allowing a small number of Palestinian to remain citizens in it. The June 1967 war allowed Israel to take the remaining 20 percent of Palestine. Zionist Israel encompassed 100 percent of Palestine, but the state incorporated a large number of Palestinians, the people who Zionists made such an effort to expel in 1948. Gaza, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of the Palestinian Territories, after it won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Parliament in the January 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections and then defeated the Fatah political organization in a series of violent clashes. The European Union, the United States, Canada,Zionist Israel and Japan classify Hamas as a terrorist organization, while nations such as Russia, Turkey, and Switzerland do not. Then Gaza became the world's biggest prison. The 1.5 million Palestinians inhabitants of the Gaza strip are trapped in poverty. Zionist Israel captured the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Middle East War...
