| | Folke Bernadotte - Factbites |
 | | It is quite different from the struggle of the Jews of Palestine for a Jewish state, with the murder of British officials, the assassination of UN mediator Folke Bernadotte, the hanging of British hostages, and many atrocities against Arab civilians. |  | | For LEHI, Count Folke Bernadotte, as UN mediator for "Palestine," came to symbolize the foreign oppression of the Jewish claim to the Land of Israel. |  | | Bernadotte was assassinated by a LEHI team in Jerusalem on September 17, 1948, an act that resulted in the elimination of the LEHI organization by the Jewish leaders of Israel. |

 | | For example, 'Israeli Arabs' demonstrated in solidarity with their fellow Palestinian nationals with the outbreak of the second intifada, which was met with brutal force by the state of Israel, resulting in the killing of 13 'Israeli Arabs' in October 2000. |  | | The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and its subsequent expansion has resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and lands and effectively erased the name Palestine from the world map, which now reads 'Israel' where Palestine once stood. |  | | And it is the nation of Palestine that must contend with the nation of Israel, since the state of Israel has other plans. |

| | Is Palestine a State? |
 | | Palestine has a lawful claim to statehood.Indeed, as far back as 1919, the Palestinian people were provisionally recognised as a member nation by the League of Nations. |  | | In a way, the claim of a Palestinian state is not founded, especially when those who are presented as it's leaders proclaim that their objective is finally to destroy Israel and to reject the Jews with the sea. |  | | [27] The resolution was adopted by a vote of 104 in favour, the USA and Israel opposed, and 44 states abstaining. |

 | | Palestine, the land of the three monotheistic faiths, is where the Palestinian Arab people was born, on which it grew, developed and excelled. |  | | In it will be safeguarded their political and religious convictions and their human dignity by means of a parliamentary democratic system of governance, itself based on freedom of expression and the freedom to form parties. |  | | In Palestine and on its perimeters, in exile distant and near, the Palestinian Arab people never faltered and never abandoned its conviction in its rights of Return and independence. |

| | israelinsider: Views: Twelve bad arguments for a State of Palestine |
 | | The citizens supposed to build this peaceful and stable state will be the ones that the PLO regime of the last eight years has programmed to hatred and contempt, to yearn to earn martyrdom by murdering Jews. |  | | Repeated statements by officials of the Fatah, Hamas, and other member bodies of the PLO declare over and over again that their goal is the end of Israel, the expulsion of the Jews, and an Arab Palestinian State from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean. |  | | Some who are made aware of all these circumstances nevertheless say: "It is useless to oppose a State of Palestine -- it is inevitable." Such passive submission, such moral indolence, is tacit consent to an act inimical to the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. |

| | The One-State Solution: Palestine-Israel : SF Indymedia |
 | | The challenge for the one-state solution is to find a political path through the transition from rival ethno-nationalisms to a democratic secular formula which would preserve Israel's role as a Jewish haven while dismantling the apartheid-like privileges that presently assign second-class citizenship to non-Jews. |  | | The notion of an Egyptian state for the Egyptians, a Jewish state for the Jews, simply flies in the face of reality. |  | | Sharon is nearing the realisation of his long-dreamed-of goal: Israeli sovereignty in all of Mandate Palestine, with non-viable enclaves providing a dismal bantustan autonomy in which the remnants of Palestinian society can slowly crumble. |

That will be fixed. |  | | The Jewish Agency motive was to destroy all evidence the British had gathered proving that the terrorist crime waves in Palestine were not merely the actions of “fringe” groups such as the Irgun and Stern Gang, but were committed in collision with the Haganah and Palmach groups and under the Jewish Agency itself. |  | | The Zionists claimed that 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, but the Zionists killed more than 100,000 Palestinians and committed genocide by destroying the existence of Palestinians as a nation and made Palestinians refugees living in exile. |
