AS usual, slim, I have no idea what you are talking about. I know the document isn't fake and I have commented on it very thoroughly and quoted from it extensively. You, on the other hand, continue your pseudomystical babbling as if you possess some secret insider knowledge that you can only dispense in bitesize morsels so we mere plebeians won't choke on more wisdom than we can handle. Put together a couple of decent sentences and call me in the morning.
But as for 5 Echo 6 Alpha, I said PARTITION was not a result of the Holocaust. However, the document clearly talks about increased Jewish immigration without ever acknowledging the reason for that. Given the profundity of the reason, I was offended by that.
10,000 in the day was a number of significance. It was those 10,000 that stopped the ages long practice of honoring the rights of both to inhabit the land.
How did 10,000 do that? Were you going to back that up with some data or follow the RI tradition of merely repeating things until people get tired of asking for proof?
They were in every respect the catalyst for the first round of physical violence between the two parties
Which round would that be? The riots in 1920? 1929? The Arab revolts of 1936? Or do you mean the war of 1948 in which the combined Arab forces attacked the Jewish forces exactly as predicted in the document of the OP?
The Jews were in "every respect the catalyst"? The longstanding relationship between the Arab leaders and the Nazi party didn't have ANYTHING to do with it, huh? Who said this:
Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you
Answer, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, pictured above with Hitler.
Adolf Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified during his war crimes trial in 1946 that ... "The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan... He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chambers of Auschwitz."

But he had nothing to do with the conflict, huh?
Oh, as to how the place was Disneyland till those magic 10,000 showed up, here is Karl marx's description of Palestine as he saw it. Keep in mind that Marx himself, though of Jewish heritage, said plenty of nasty things about Jews.
"The Mussulmans, forming about a fourth part of the whole, and consisting of Turks, Arabs and Moors, are, of course, the masters in every respect, as they are in no way affected with the weakness of their Government at Constantinople. Nothing equals the misery and suffering of the Jews at Jerusalem, inhabiting the most filthy quarter of the town, called hareth-el-yahoud, this quarter of dirt between Mount Zion and Mount Moriah, where their synagogues are situated - the constant objects of Mussulman oppression and intolerance, insulted by the Greeks, persecuted by the Latins and living only upon the scanty alms transmitted by their European brethren. The Jews, however, are not natives, but from distant and different countries, and are only attracted to Jerusalem by the desire of inhabiting the Valley of Jehosophat and to die in the very places where their Redemptor is to be expected.
'Attending their death,' says a French author, 'they suffer and pray. Their regards turned to that mountain of Moriah, where once rose the temple of Solomon, and which they dare not approach, they shed tears on the misfortunes of Zion, and their dispersion over the world.'"[2]
Now as to this "cornering the market" business. Jews were buying land. This is true. And I think simple logic would dictate that somebody, therefore, was SELLING this land. And profiting from it, I would add. The conflict was, in fact, partly a result of the fact that the Arab owners of the land were not the people working the land. And, in fact, the ownership structure of land was a rather oppressive one within Arab Palestine:
“At the summit of the social pyramid, which was characterized by a rigid, traditional structure, was the effendi group, that special phenomenon of the Middle East, the ‘city notable, an absentee landlord whose main function is to provide credit and who does not interest himself at all in farming.’ They belonged to the handful of leading families who derived their incomes from the estates cultivated by the fellahin and from usury. Not that they turned their noses up at property speculation. The indifference they showed for the lot of the peasantry, their economic activities (investments) and their parasitic role therefore made them akin, to a certain degree, to the comprador bourgeoisie of the colonial countries.”[2]

This is a quote taken from Zionism: False Messiah, an anti-Zionist book written by Nathan Weinstock (who has more recently and somewhat dramatically changed his views on this topic.) He continues:
“The fellahin, attached to the land, were mercilessly exploited by the big landowners, and burdened with levies and taxes. In the village, the peasant was at the mercy of the sheikh, the governor, the farmer-general to whom the taxes were farmed out, and the merchants and usurers who vied with each other for the prize of crushing him. Traditionally the villager had only one means of escaping this misery: nomadism, the peasant’s last resort.”[6]
Elsewhere he remarks:
“In 1936...the average debt run up by an Arab peasant family -- £25-30 a year -- was equivalent to or in excess of its annual income. In these conditions there was hardly any hope of escaping recurrent indebtedness. ...Interest rates, usually 30 per cent, sometimes went as high as 50 per cent. In such conditions, and taking into account the parasitic mentality of the landowners who considered their lands above all as a speculative investment, Arab farming remained refractory to technical progress.”[7]
So the Palestinian Arabs were already screwed. Jews bought this land legally but that did not change the underlying social and economic structure. It's worth continuing with Weinstock's book (and obviously, if you click the link, I'm cribbing off Gil-White's quote selections).
“When the question of the acquisition of land by the Zionist organizations in Palestine is broached, it is usually not stated that these land transactions are to be explained by the big Arab landowners’ eagerness to sell their property. Furthermore, these purchases led to an extremely lucrative wave of property speculation: the price of a dunam near Rishon-le-Zion, originally 8 shillings, had gone up to £P10-£P25 by 1931. The Zionists certainly paid dearly for their Holy Land. The high prices sales, which brought a fortune to the usurious, parasitic effendi class, proved disastrous for the fellahin who were expelled from the estates they had worked on.”[9]
Now, who again was "cornering markets"?
Check this out:
“...whilst in public these [Arab] leaders stepped up their incendiary attacks on Zionism, denouncing any transfer of ancestral soil to the Jews as a betrayal, they secretly enriched themselves by means of the very operations which they so furiously attacked. The fanatical braggadocio was designed for the gallery. It made it possible to win the support of the masses. It also, no doubt, served other less avowable goals. Under nationalist pressure, the small Arab landowners no longer dared to sell their land openly to the Jews. During the 1936-39 Revolt Husseini’s guerillas actually executed ‘traitors,’ but ‘at the same time a close relative of the Mufti was doing a brisk trade in precisely such allegedly criminal deals, but with a notable difference, for this person used to force sales from Arab small-holders at niggardly prices and then resell to the Jews at the usual exorbitant rates...” In other words, hyper-nationalist propaganda became a lucrative industry, indeed even an American-style racket, for the Arab gentry.”[12]
I'm going to bed now...though there's more to be said. But to anyone reading this, don't by this ridiculously oversimplified version of history that 5 Echo 6 Alpha is peddling. NOTHING in history is as simplistic as he makes this out to be, and certainly the story of Israel is even more complex than most.
