"The truth is the Palestinians were knock-on victims of the Holocaust, rather like driver caught up in a motorway pileup, injured by a vehicle propelled into theirs by another vehicle. No point in denying the existence of the pile-up, and imagining that the primary responsibility for the crash was the person driving the car that actually crashed into theirs."

Disagree, the Palestinians have always been the victims of a complete and utter lack of Palestinian leadership.

The creation of the State of Israel has got absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust. Friction between Jew and Arab in Palestine was deliberately orchestrated by the lies of Yasser Arafat's Uncle during the 1920' and 1930's during the period of Britain's League of Nations Mandate.

Palestinian Arab leadership rejected every proposal laid before them. In 1947/48 when the British Mandate expired, the UN proposed a settlement which the Arabs again rejected. The armed forces of the Arab League attacked the Jews in Palestine, the Jews successfully defended themselves and THEN declared the State of Israel, which was immediately recognised by the United Nations.
