Rewriting 1948

The last paragraph of an AP report on the UN commemoration of the Holocaust reads as follows:
The United Nations was created in the wake of World War II. It voted soon after, in 1947, to carve out two countries in Palestine, one Jewish, the other Arab, but the Palestinians’ share was lost in the 1948 Mideast war with parts divvied up among Israel, Jordan and Egypt.
In re-writing history, AP forget that the Arabs in the former Palestine rejected the UN partition plan and opted for a war of aggression, together with the surrounding Arab countries. And thus, the statement “the Palestinians’ share was lost in the 1948 Mideast war” is wrong on commission – there was no “Palestinians’ share” because there were no “Palestinians”; and wrong on omission – forgetting the Arab war of aggression, which was waged with the proclaimed aim of destroying the Jews in the former Palestine. Would one say that “the Germans’ share of East Prussia was lost in World War II” without noting the Nazi war of aggression? Why do the Arabs get an exemption from historical facts?

you are scratching the tip of the iceberg. Not just 1948 history is distorted but near east (not middle east which itself is a geographic corruption) has had 5,000 years of history forgotten, ignored and corrupted. Take today’s political correct concept of the crusades. The view is that this was an attempt to drive muslims from their rightful land ignoring that muslims didn’t exist prior to the 7th century and when they came into being they drove the Christians out. Or the myth that Jews left Palisatine after the failure of the Roman rebellion ignoring the fact that thousands have lived there for 2,000 years.
