Modi'in recent comments:

I'm surprised, or should I be, that Google continues to perpetuate the lie about how the so called Palestinian lands were stolen. Please tell me, when was there ever, at all, a palestinian entity? When was there ever a geopolitical location called palestine? Never. You may fall back on the pretext that before 1948 there was a so called Palestine. Of course, to say that, would be an insult to intelligence, since the so called Palestine of before 1948 was nothing else than a British occupied territory with a name that they brought out of ancient history. The british, if anyone, were the ones that actually created the so called palestinian problem, with their divide and conquer politics. See what caos they left behind in India (Bangladesh/Pakistan), Africa and her "colonies", Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), her continued occupation of Gibraltar and the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, not that Argentina could do much with them, they hardly manage to govern what they have... The appearance on the scene of history of the people that were eventually called the Palestinians, a name that only started to come into use after June 1967, was a direct result of the presence of the Jewish pioneers, who PURCHASED the land, swamps and waste lands that the Turkish and Arab landowner were more than glad to get rid of for substantial sums of money, and turned them into fertile and productive lands, and the need for labourers brought in migrant workers from the neighbouring countries who eventually brought in their families, settled around the colonies they worked at and multiplied like rabbits. So to say that the Jews expelled the Arabs from their home would be a lie, except for the cases where during the war of 1948, some were expelled, but what about the jewish communities that were expelled, why don't the searchers for righteousness talk about them, why don't the bigots and hypocrates remember that more than Arab refugees, there were many more Jewish refugees from arab countries, who left fortunres behind, more than what the Arabs left. Why don't they, and you Google, remember the orders of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini (a distant relative of the Archi terrorist, Yasser Arafat) to the Arabs to abandon their homes to pave and facilitate the way for the Arab Liberation Army that was being organized to throw the Jews into the sea, then come back to take their homes and properties. Why don't you remember, Google and others, that the late Golda meir herself together with other members of the Jewish leadership of the time went to the Arab villages to try convince them not to leave (Operation whisper). The answers to all these questions is hypocrisy and a disguised form of anti-semitism, bigotry. Why don't you mention the advances and benefits to humanity in the fields of science, medicine, agriculture, the aid to developing countries in Africa from Israel. Whereas Israel, notwithstanding the belligerent situation it lives through since it's inception, has developed a flourishing economy, social security system, pension, health care system that a lot of countries could be jealous of, and more, all of which the Arab population benefits, including the so-called oppressed Palestinians alongside the Jewish population, notwithstanding all that, the Arabs surrounding Israel have invested fortunes in means to destroy Israel, oppressing their own populations, abandoning social welfare, health schemes, education etc, etc, etc. So, to all of you Israel (Jew) bashers, I have only one comment to make, to hell with you.
