So happy you enjoyed. New one coming out tonight 1:30 EST/8:30 PM IST Alon Gur Arye (Writer and Director of Israeli hit comedy 'Mossad'. Really funny. You'll enjoy!
Moreover, UNRWA was approved to be established because the US thought Israel would be a proxy of the USSR. The Arab and the Muslim world pressured the US which realized that the Jews were outnumbered so it would be smarter to go with the Muslims.
This is a very very bad way of viewing the issue. I guess you can place some blame on "Arab leaders" for opposing immigration prior to WW2, but they actually had something to fear. They saw a colonial initiated immigration drastically changing the demographic makeup of the region who did not attempt to integrate with the indigenous Arab population, and quite reasonably predicted could result in the Arabs being displaced. Surely enough, they were right, they were transfered (I.E. ethnically cleansed) in 1948. On the other hand, the United States was a far more attractive destination for Jews than Palestine (NYC had a far larger Jewish population alone), yet the US government also sharply limited immigration despite having nothing to fear unlike the Arabs. Same with the British, despite the "generosity" of the Balfour Declaration. Not only that but the British had a large responsibility in creating the conflict in the first place, Jewish immigration to Palestine was a relatively minor local issue in the Ottoman Empire, but the British made it into a intractable issue about colonialism. In the end of course, the Nazis and there collaborators were the ones responsible for the Holocaust and no-one else, but if you are going to place blame on foreign powers/people limiting Jewish refugees, the Americans and British deserve far more than Arabs.
I also want to point out something that many foreigners miss when discussing the Israeli Palestinian conflict and that is when the first Zionist-Ashkenazi immigrants arrived to this land (around 1878-1881), they were treated badly, so there was absolutely no way of integration in the first place. The first immigrants felt like that they were treated like they were during the pogroms period. People also think that Zionism as colonialism started during 1917, but I personally think it only became so after the 1929 riots.
I got the book, it's brilliant! but it is always pleasure to listen to the authors live. Einat needs to speak more to N.American audience!
