The other person was quite justified to use the term overwhelmed, which you misinterpreted. As regards Jewish immigration, the numbers only tell you how many entered, not how many tried to enter but failed to do so. What you quote above confirms what I said. The British were favourable to...

The Arabs in the region would have been nomadic tribes people and small scale farmers living in villages. The Jews who arrived included many well educated Westerners who brought money as well as modern farming methods and technological skills. So the Jews did well pre partition. After partition...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Best laff of the day, class.

And where is your evidence for that assertion? And what would they do with it in the Middle East?

As I said, you interpret overwhelmed to imply numerically overwhelmed, whereas it could just as well mean overwhelmed as in defeated. Actually the Arabs were never agreed to partition, and so when the British left, war broke out, and the Jews overwhelmed the Arabs. Part of that was the massacre...

And where would that be? I genuinely do not know.

I thought the OP was reasonable. It is a valid viewpoint.

As usual it's not black and white, no pun intended. A school friend came from Uganda when that nice Mr Idi Amin threw out the East African Asians. Years after leaving school I'd go to his parent's gold jewellers shop, and his sister in law would cook a meal. As far as I know his mum never learnt...

So why spend billions on a moon rocket, and fake it? The number of people is relevent, it makes it impossible to cover up. The number of inconsistencies and anomalies in a cover up is huge. So did they fake all manned missions? Did China fake manned missions? I have seen no anomalies with the...

It has everything to do with it. The more you think about a conspiracy, the more bizarre it sounds. Why launch a rocket larger than any other rocket, large enough to carry a moon lander, with crew on board, then fake the landing? Why send something to the moon and back as recorded by...

Some of us are sad b@stards who continue to post here ...

Okay, we interpret overwhelmed in different ways, you seeing it as numerically overwhelmed. The British allowed immigration in large numbers, then later tried to restrict it. I think you are wrong that most immigration was illegal, at least pre WW2. Jews legally purchased land, albeit land...

I am astonished that so many people doubt the Apollo moon landings. I guess this is a sign of the times, and the lack of trust in authority these days, not helped by lying scheisses such as Blair and Campbell. Evidence for the Apollo programme includes thousands who watched the Saturn 11B...

:rolleyes:

Given reports from an installer, or a survey of 10,000+ owners, guess which is statistically more significant? I had a problem with mine because the installers used the wrong size gas pipe. Friends had trouble with their Vaillant because the installers a) put it in the wrong place and b) did...

Inset fires are nice but rather expensive. Yes, stoves are a fashion, and their time will pass. However, I own a stove and I think they are wonderful albeit a luxury. They are expensive, but sitting in front of a hot stove on a cold winter's evening is rather nice. I light mine at the weekend. I...

I have often said that immigration is out of hand, as have most of my neighbours. None of us have been pilloried. It is a quite respectable view. Maybe there is something about the way you express the opinion? Or maybe you are saying something different. There are several reasons why out...

The statement was not that inaccurate. Actually Palestine was the Mandate of Palestine, administered by Britain from about 1917 to partition, during which time the British allowed massive Jewish immigration into Palestine against the wishes of the Arabs, hence the Arab riots. It was a gross...

I honestly have no idea what your views are, but when you make opaque obfuscatory comments it does get rather bizarre. Generally it is fine to express a view here if that view is either uncontentious, or it can be supported by the facts, or a reasoned argument that is consistent with the...

Someone once repeatedly harassed Buzz Aldrin and told him that the moon landings were faked. Aldrin punched him. It was well deserved: The 18 men who flew to the moon risked their lives, 3 almost did not make it back, and 3 died during training when a fire broke out onboard what I think was...
