>> #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."
