Question

Where the relations of Palestinians and Jews poisoned by the British in the past?

Answer 1

Yes, absolutely.  I do not hold the Brits at 100% responsibility but they do share a significant portion of it.

One just cant make shady land deals knowing there are hostile parties involved and then walk away for them to duke it out.

Britain was weak at the time, they appeased the Arabs and then just walked away when the going got tough and left the pieces for Israel to pick up.

Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for the opportunity.  But I would be more thankful for a clean deal with informed consent every step of the way. At that point it then becomes my decision for my destiny and my responsibility instead of handing over to me something to fix that I never broke.

Had Britain not done the double deal we would be at land borders today 'way' back then, but with the hostiles in Jordan where their rightful place is and there would not have been creation of a "new Palestine people" to fight Israel.  We have peace treaty with Jordan now which declared its statehood 2 years previous to Israel. Coincidence?  No. That is how Britain set it up. Then walked away.

One more thing.  Britain should not be  deporting the radicals back to the Middle East to have Israel pick up the pieces still.  This is all our problem now and it needs to be fixed. Never walk away there is no more time for mistakes.

Answer 2

I don't think that is the reason but it definitely contributed to the conflict since the British promised both a piece of the pie.

The Arabs did get their piece, it's called Jordan so this is no longer relevant but it did stir up some madness back then.

Logic -

I said they are "technically" Arabs as they have some Arab ethnicity since they came from Arab countries,  Arabs can be any religion but  most Arabs are Muslim, at least where I come from then when I say Arab in general I mean Muslim unless I say otherwise. You should be smart enough to get the point.

I think it's funny coming from you, your preaching me about racism?

Answer 3

No,but 20th century relations between the Arab world generally and the West were poisoned by a Polish jew named Leopold Weiss who pretended to convert to Islam then published an inflammatory book called "Islam at the Crossroads" (1925) which has as it's primary theme the idea that there must  exist a "natural" acrimony between Muslim and Christian. It was an enormous influence on the founders of Islamist radicalism; in fact,Islamism essentially originated with Weiss. He was a primary influence on Qutb.

The British did nothing deliberate to excite acrimony between jew and Palestinian but in a bungling way typical of their army they did do so,mostly by permitted jews to arm but not Palestinians.

Answer 4

Well Actually during the British and Ottomans Rules , The Land was called Palestine.

But since the Zionist backed the British financially in the WW1 .

The Brits give the land of Palestine to Zionist so they can pay them back and make them a Homeland which is now called Israel.

And no Brits didn't poison it , its poisoned in the first place CZ Palestinians claim that their land where taken illegally by Israelis and Israelis claim that Palestine never existed.

But think about it , if Palestine never existed ... then how come it was called Palestine under ottoman Turks and Brits rule?

Answer 5

What Palestians is that?  The few Arabs left in the area were told to run by the the Arab countries or die with the Jew.  Seems to me that was the start of the conflict between the local Arabs and the Jew, not the British.

Answer 6

Probably. hey,I just googled up Leopold Weiss on the wiki and that guy is right,the whole point of the book is to whip up hatred between Muslims and Christians. This from a jew. Makes sense. Divide your enemies against each other.

Answer 7

Not the British the Zionists
