The BEST OF: Palestine readings on Tuesday night

THIS iS PART OF THE "NOT TOP 10"

UNKNOWN USER:

"What is your favorite part of the war?"

My favorite part of this war is the Mandate.

YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TOP PLAYS:

NICOLE:

"Are the Arabs being punished for the actions of Nazi Germany?"

The Arabs are being punished for the actions of Nazi Germany because their homeland is being populated with more and more Jews. They didn't take any part in the Holocaust. Now everyone's saying that the Jews need their own homeland. It just so happens that the Jews want their land.

"What happened to Palestine?"

Most of what was Palestine has been taken by the Jews. The rest is either part of Jordan or part of Eqypt.

AUDREY:

How did the Law of Return Effect The Arab Pride?

the law of return effected the Arabs pride because now any jewish person from anywhere in the world could "return/come" to Israel and become a full citizen but Arabs could not return to the place where they were born.

ALEC:

"why doesnt germany give them some of there land because of what they put them through?"

this doesn't fully answer the question... but it kind of does... Germany didn't give land but they gave a lot of money... and neither the Arabs nor Jews would want to leave to gain land in Germany, because they want Jerusalem.

CHARLIE FOX (Answering his own question…)

"On a scale from 1 to 10 how angry do you think the Palestinians were and why"

execellent question Foxcr13!

i believe it was a 10 because they went from being a full country to slowly, but surely getting diminished until there was no Palestine

JULIA:

"Are the Arabs being punished for the actions of Nazi germany?"

The answer to this question is debatable, based on one's point of view, but it seems as though the Arabs suffered as a direct result of the actions of the Nazis, though they did nothing wrong.

SYDNEY:

"Why did Israel's GNP and GNP per capita suddenly rise rapidly?"

It rose because the German government gave $715 million and American Jews gave more than $500 million. Both of these donations were out of sympathy because they felt bad for Israel.

"Where did the Arab refugees go after they lost Palestine?"

The refugees first moved into the West Bank and Jordan, but when Jordan lost the West Bank to Israel, they had to move eastward into Jordan

PATRICK:

What are some reasons why it is easier, and more efficient for the English to "punish" Palestine by creating Israel in Palestine, instead of creating Israel in germany?
