The truth has been blindingly obvious to those that have an open mind.
The State of Israel was built after a movement called Zionism. The
term Zionism first came to public attention as a result of the works of
Viennese Jewish journalist Theodor Herzl, who argued in his 1896 book
Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) that the best way of avoiding
anti-Semitism in Europe was to create an independent Jewish state or
national homeland. (He was originally thinking of Uganda or South
America). The movement eventually culminated in establishing the State
of Israel in 1948 in Palestine. Some 700,000 Palestinians became
refugees and a similar number of Jews arrived in the new state.
"We
came here to a country that was populated by Arabs and we are building
here a Hebrew, a Jewish state; instead of the Arab villages, Jewish
villages were established. You even do not know the names of those
villages, and I do not blame you because these villages no longer exist.
There is not a single Jewish settlement that was not established in the
place of a former Arab Village." Moshe Dyan, March 19, 1969, speech
at the Technion in Haifa, quoted in Ha'aretz, April 4, 1969.
