Yea, they say they restricted the Jewish immigrants. Yet, if you read the article posted in my other comment, you’d see that their actions during the time period of their mandate speaks a different tale.
Them abstaining from the vote is purely performative, and doesn’t negate the rest of what they did to facilitate the colonization of Palestine.
Just look up the history of Israel before it was given statehood and of Zionism. Here is a good article by the Guardian. warning, it’s a very complicated situation, all in all, and this article really gets into the nitty gritty of history. Literally, deep into it. It’s some heavy reading.
Boiled down though…
After the defeat of the Ottomans and their empire partitioned off to various countries after the Sinai and Palestine campaigns of WW1, the British were given control via a mandate by the League of Nations over a territory that became known as the Mandate of Palestine, but it was still mostly Arab citizens, the British were just given authority to maintain order in the region.
During the years of occupation, the British government encouraged European Jews to settle the region in an effort to fulfill political obligations to the Zionist movement made at what is known as the Balfour Declaration. This caused a civil war to break out over the whole colonization thing.
With the end of the Mandate over the region drawing to an end, and the tensions of the area heightened after civil war, the U.N. voted to subdivide the Mandate of Palestine into two separate states: Palestine and Israel
Who has that pic of the two rocket volleys being fired at each other that says “my tax dollars” and “also somehow my tax dollars”?
Well, considering that the US and Britain literally invented Israel, that tracks.
We truly did it. We put the cart before the horse and made it work anyway
Idk why my brain is the way it is, but I can’t say “KILL-o-meters”, it always comes out as “key-LO-meters”
Ugh, like… I get why it outputs like that, but I also absolutely hate that it outputs like that.
Bro if you think that’s extreme you ain’t been on the Internet long enough. This is tame. It doesn’t even get into the vore/unbirth potential.
Just thought you ought to know *faints dramatically*
I forget how stupid anti-masturbation rhetoric was.
At this point I’m beginning to think that “Never Again” was a lie.
Well said mate.
