>> #Freedom that is rewriting school textbooks to erase ideas incompatible with Hindutva? As soon as you accept a few million deaths for a better world, you have become a monster.
You have pivoted away from whether accepting a #TwoStateSolution proposed by #UN for #BritishIndia as well as for #BritishMandate in #Palestine was better for all.
#Hindutva is a different monster.

>> #Indians who still think the #USA is not evil, here's the #WallStreetJournal thinking #Partition was a good thing… 😱
#WSJ is owned by the #Murdoch's family— might as well be from #Mordor, not #US.
The cases are not comparable. #India and #Pakistan agreed to a #UN-proposed #TwoStateSolution in 1947 but #Palestinians rejected similar for #BritishMandate in #Palestine the same year.
Partition of #BritishIndia was actually better for India — Just look at Pakistan now 🙂

#Palestine / From British Mandate to Military Rule: A documentary exposes Israel's dark history, which drew comparisons to Nazi Germany
Danel Elpeleg's award-winning documentary, "The Governor," exposes Israel's little-known history of military rule over its Palestinian citizens from 1948 to 1968 (technically 1966). The film, based on interviews with Elpeleg's grandfather, a military governor, reveals the regime's pervasive control over every aspect of Palestinian life, including curfews, restrictions on movement, and the arbitrary power of life and death wielded by the governors.
This authority stemmed from the British Mandate's Defense Emergency Regulations (DER), initially enacted to suppress both Jewish and Arab resistance. Ironically, pre-state Zionists decried these regulations, with jurist Yaakov Shimshon Shapira even comparing them to Nazi laws [Source: Tom Segev, "1949: The First Israelis"].
Despite this initial opposition, the new Israeli state adopted the DER wholesale for its Arab population, a legacy that continues to impact Palestinian citizens today, with many still fearing reprisal for speaking out, while the majority of Israeli Jews remain unaware of this dark chapter in their nation's history, a silence perpetuated by censorship, even within the #IDF.

"During the #BritishMandate over #Palestine, the British set up several commissions of inquiry to examine causes of violence in Palestine. All these commissions described it as a conflict between colonists and natives."

"Double podcast episode about the #ClassStruggle in #Palestine during the #BritishMandate (1920-48). We discuss the organisations built by #Palestinian #workers, the 1936-39 revolt, and a number of joint strikes by #Arabs and #Jews which happened against the backdrop of rising tensions which culminated in the ethnic cleansing of the #Nakba."

>> When they refused to let some European colonizers steal their land, that's "rejecting freedom"?
In 1947, they rejected freedom — a #UN #TwoStateSolution for an INDEPENDENT #Palestine, separate from #Israel
For 450 years prior to that, they were ok being under #TurkishYoke or #BritishMandate, but when actual freedom arrived, they spat on it.
They also rejected freedom in 2000 at #CampDavid ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/112441847344403701

BEFORE 1948, there was 1947, when for the first time in 500+ years, #Palestinians were offered their own land and free state as part of a #TwoStateSolution from the partition of #BritishMandate, but #Arabs and Palestinians roundly rejected it
>> the #PA agrees to almost everything #Israel demanded in the #OsloAccords, and then #Netanyahu's messianic #Jews assassinated #Rabin
The above Arab rejection of Palestinian state was BEFORE #OsloAccords and before #Netanyahu
@lukevanin
⬇️
>> where is the two state solution that they rejected?
#UN #PartitionPlanForPalestine recommended creation of independent Arab & Jewish States, while terminating the #BritishMandate
56% of the land incl inhospitable #Negev desert was allocated to new #Jewish state, rest to #Arabs.
Jews accepted it. Arabs rejected it ➡️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine and a #civilWar broke out in 1947, later escalating to full-blown Arab-Israeli war in 1948 ➡️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab–Israeli_War
