“midst of a genocide” “world resolution” “and bad at history”
the holocaust had been over for years before the Nakba. the balfour declaration happened in 1917 (that’s pre-holocaust if you don’t know) as a result of the british taking control of the land from the ottoman empire. the british gov saw giving the jews a homeland as a convenient way of importing friendly white europeans into a hostile colonial state.
and it wasn’t a “world resolution.” it was done by the British government. one of the biggest issues with the whole thing is that there was little input from “the world” unless you think the world only means europe and not anywhere that isn’t western/white.
britain relinquishing control of the territory to the jewish settlers it had been importing for 30 years was done as reparation for the holocaust and due to their diminished ability to maintain a global empire after fighting two world wars. and that’s not my problem either! i think anybody has the right to live wherever they want. i don’t think you can do it by violently displacing the people who already lived there. jews have every right to return to their holy land. but so do the palestinians they displaced.
the whole project was doomed from the start by the behavior of the first settlers, colonial powers, (and yes) the palestinian locals. the british gov gave israel control of land without properly including the land’s current inhabitants in the process. people whose families had lived in the same house for hundreds of years were told they had leave. people resisted as people always do when their home is under threat. the resulting turmoil resulted in the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians (on top of those who lost their homes in the original declaration) and doomed any prospect of Israel ever being at peace.
“bad at history” lmao
I’d say your only understanding of this issue comes from reading the wikipedia page, but i think you’re too lazy to even do that!
