I am reading the book “the Jewish paradox” from Nahum Goldmann, creator of the World Jewish Congress and ex president of World Zionist Congress.

He says in 1948 many Jewish were against accepting the UN partition plan, but that he accepted it anyway (and was almost killed for that) because:

1. they would never get this chance again

2. they could use this Territory as a base do conquest all of Palestine at a later point in time

So, I think it’s a valid lesson to learn for arabs in the region: If you get an offer the future, don’t reject it because it’s not what you want, but see what use can you make of that on the future

I know Palestinians learn about Gandhi, Che Guevara and others on school, and I recommend to also read the book above, and also books written by architects of Israel (Ben Gurion and Theodor Herzl)

There’s a lot you can learn from them to help you

I have also read “Road to Mecca” from Leopold Weiss/Muhammad Assad and he said that in 2nd or 1st world war Algeria (or another Magreb country, can’t remember) was having lots of military/weaponry help from England against Italy, but due to a promise of the Turkish president (or highest leader) was convinced to attack England.

The attack was clearly against Islamic laws and against Algerian Alliance with England, but they trusted the Turkish president on his promised support just because he was Muslim.

Result: the Turkish president never followed ok his promise, England stopped helping, and Algeria got devastated.

Lesson: don’t trust people just because they claim to be from your religion.
