My point is that Zionism wasn't entirely non-violent, that some Jewish settlers and militiamen carried out awful things during that war -- Deir Yassin being the most infamous but hardly the only -- and that Israel, after declaring its independence, forcibly evicted Arabs from their homes, bulldozed entire neighborhoods, and made a conscious effort to "cleanse" Palestine/Israel of ethnic Arabs. |
That's fair enough, but again... doesn't seem relative... because it was relativly small... again, they are by far the least of the three you'd blame. Only blamed because they're the ones still there. (Well and the Palestinian leadership, but they're "working for Palestine") Though not really since they would rather sit in ther nice conditions while the average Palestinian suffers, and does nothing to actually prepare the Palestinians for peace and get an actual believable deal... because they know in a stable Palestine without the legitamizaton that comes from being what is recognized diplomatically other groups would soon replace them.
