The Danger Zone (DZ)

In May 1940 the German Army won the greatest military victory in the history of the world. In just six weeks, in reality in a couple of days, the greatest army in the world, the French Army, and their ally, the British, had been completely and utterly defeated. The win was stunning. A new technique to fight this new war in Europe had been developed. The French were taken by surprise, so were the B...

To be very British, and understated about it, the Arab Revolt between 1936 and 1939, had turned out very badly for the Muslims, discussed in Parts 32 and following. But there’s always a silver lining in every cloud, and the silver lining in the Grand Mufti’s cloud was World War 2. And best of all Hitler offered the glittering prospect of a Final Solution to both of their Jewish problems. And as la...

British collective punishment, increasing British military deployments to Palestine, especially after the British did the disgraceful Munich deal with Hitler in 1938 which freed up considerable military forces, and the impact of combined British and Jewish intelligence, made fighting and beating the Arab Revolt so much easier. As I have demonstrated over many programmes, the Muslim population in P...

The Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 had consequences that are still being felt and lived to this day. One good thing came out of it, if you’re a Muslim – not if you’re an Israeli though – and a really bad thing came out of it, if you’re a Muslim, not an Israeli which, I would say on balance, outweighs the good that the Muslims got. To be fair, the good thing was an accident so let me tell you about it. T...

Captain Ord Wingate was one of the more remarkable British officers of the 20th Century, which is saying a lot. He thought entirely, almost entirely, out of the box. The British seemed to produce these remarkable people with remarkable ideas in the quantities that they needed, when they needed them. One of the unmissable things about the British administration in Palestine was how pro-Muslim it wa...

This programme is about how the Muslims, remarkably, and unwittingly, created the Israeli Defence Forces that would, at least so far, allow Israel to survive the fury of its overwhelming numerous and powerful enemies attempts to crush it. Of course Israel has to win every war. If it loses one it will all be over for it, in a massive blood bath. Maybe this programme could be called how the Muslims...

On 19 April 1936 the Muslims gave the Jews the gift of their homeland, promised by the British in the Balfour Declaration, then by the League of Nations when it created the British Mandate on 24 July 1922 – far bigger than was looking likely at that time – if they were to get one at all.  What the Jewish homeland would eventually look like was tricky. The Muslims had fought against it ever being c...

The murders of the Jews living in Palestine on 15 April 1936, Israel Hazan, Zvi Danenburg and the wounding of Nafchi, was typical of what the Muslim leadership wanted for Palestine – no Jewish homeland. A goal that they single mindedly pursue, even down to this day. Stop more Jews coming in. Create a new country out of at least Syria and Palestine combined, like it was under the Ottomans. The fact...

History tells us that between 800 and 1100 AD was the Golden Age of Arabic science. Well it isn’t history that I’m getting this from. It’s from Hassan Hassan, a columnist for The National newspaper in Abu Dhabi, the UAE., He’s also a contributor for The Guardian, Foreign Policy and the Carnegie Endowment. He graduated from the University of Nottingham, the UK, with a Master of Arts in Internationa...

The 9th of Av in Jewish calendars is Friday on steroids. Nerves must be jangling as that day of the calendar approaches. The worst high points in the history of the Jews happen on this day. On that day in 586 BC, the Babylonians demolished the First Temple in Jerusalem built by the legendary Jewish king, Solomon. In the year 70AD, the Romans almost completely demolished the Second Temple built by...

Ok – enough of the Palestinian refugees already. Nuff said in Parts 25 to 27 of this series. The issue of illegal Muslim immigration into Palestine is huge when looking at what happened before the state of Israel was created in 1948. The worst part of it was that a lot of bad hats came in. That was what Colonel MacKereth called them in Part 19. He used that term to mean any of the Muslims that wer...

In 1939, Stalin did a deal with Hitler. He would get half of Poland, and other countries which aren’t important just now, although it was important for them, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and other countries, because he was also swiping parts of those other countries too. Anyway Hitler attacked Russia in 1941, before Russia could attack Germany, and then all hell broke loose for the next 4 y...

Remember that a person didn‘t have to be a Palestinian, or a refugee to be classified as a Palestinian refugee. Accurately counting the number of refugees that there were in 1948 has become much more important, and relevant today, when the Palestinian refugees include the children of a male Palestinian refugee, or the children that such a male Palestinian refugee adopted. In the roughly 75 years o...

Let me tell you a story. Mohammad was a Muslim. He was born in Syria on 23 June 1926. He was a citizen of Syria. There was fabulously well paid work for farm hands on the Jewish farms, which he heard about from one of his friends who, even now, was at the Jewish farm settlement at Petah Tikva. Ever since Mohammad heard about the ridiculous money they were paying, he wanted to go. He got his friend...

In Chapter 12 verse 3 of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, part of the Torah, which makes up the most sacred first 5 books of the Bible to the Jews, God makes a promise to Abraham, the first Jew, about the Jewish race. He promised this to Abraham: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. The British were the people who came up with the idea of re-stor...

With the Muslim population numbers in Western Palestine, modern Israel, stable for over 200 years it’s hard to see how they suddenly had a massive surge in numbers. Unless … large numbers of Muslims came from other Muslim countries, and the Muslims living in the British Mandate, who had for hundreds of years gone anywhere else because that country was a barren wasteland – that is until the Jews st...

In my last programme I ended with the rather depressing note that the Jordanians, even though they‘d conquered a part of the lands that formed the British Mandate of Palestine in 1948 didn’t hand them over to the proud Muslim Palestinian people for their homeland. They clung onto those lands for 18 years until the Israelis retook them in the 1967 Six Day War. What’s more no voice was raised anywhe...

When did Muslim Palestinians, that we hear so much about today, come into existence? The Arab Conquest of the Holy Land happened in 635AD. So maybe you’re thinking over 1300 years ago. You’d be wrong if you thought that.  Muslims who call themselves Palestinians only began to happen after the Muslims, Egypt, Syria, Jordan were decisively defeated by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War. Not because any...

Now many of my listeners will not be religious Jews or Christians. So they may not believe anything that I’m about to say, but I promise you that at the very least I’m going to tell you a good yarn And the facts of what have happened must make even those doubters, doubt. In 1995 the prime minister of Israel was Yitzak Rabin. On 5 October, he signed the Oslo Peace Agreement with the Palestinians. I...

The British Mandate over Palestine didn’t give England the same control as they had over one of their colonies or Dominions of the British Empire. The British, who had conquered the Middle East from the Ottoman Empire, and whose Lord Balfour had come up with the inspired idea of creating a homeland for the Jews in their traditional home, the Promised Land that God had given them, were put in charg...

The Muslims who were willing to negotiate a settlement of their disputes were either dead or didn’t want to be dead so were never going to speak up in favour of a settlement with the Jews ever again. The Grand Mufti had done such a good job, that even today there are no so-called Palestinian Muslims that will speak up in favour of some amicable solution with the Jews over anything. The British had...

When you hear Muslims, especially the new type of Muslims called Palestinians, speaking about Israel, all you ever hear is blind hatred directed at that nation and the Jews. Well the Zionists. In the last programme I told you about the subtle distinction that had grown up. It was supposedly not anti-semitic to say that you hated Zionists. It was anti-semitic to say that you hate Jews. But since a...

It was straight forward to set up the new homeland for the Jews after the League of Nations approved putting the Balfour Declaration into effect. Step One – allow all Jews who want to go to Israel to go there without any restrictions. Make sure it’s a safe welcoming place. The British government did the opposite. Step Two – Stop Muslims from countries outside the British Mandate entering into the...

Thanks to the Muslim riots in April 1920, the Nabi Musa riots, the League of Nations quickly acted to confirm the appointment of Britain to be in charge of the Palestine Mandate, which had the duty to implement the provisions of the Balfour Agreement. I’ll talk about that in a moment. The fact that the riots did this was a first and only goal where Muslim resort to violence of this kind worked aga...

The last Turkish soldier left Jerusalem by St Stephen’s Gate at 7 am on 9 December 1917. By coincidence that was the first day of Jewish Hanukkah, the festival of lights. Hanukkah celebrated the liberation of Israel from the occupying forces of the Seleucid Empire, under Seleucus Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 134BC. But then the Jewish rabbis say that there’s no such thing as a coincidence, the hand o...
