Status Updates From Arabesque

"The Jews, in fact, had no historical right to the whole of Palestine. Jehovah might have promised them the land, but, except perhaps to Solomon (and offhand he couldn't say whether even Solomon had ruled over the Philistines), Jehovah had been well content with partition."

"No gratitude? After all, we put them in Palestine, and we have just beaten the Arabs for them." (Sgt. Prayle)

"Independence is the way of the world, and must be taken. And then? Then we shall be robbed by our own politicians instead of by the French, and just as ever we shall revolt. Revolt will end in war between Christian and Moslem, because it always does. War will mean alliance with the Jews against the Moslem - and the Jews, because they are worse fanatics than either, will be the only gainers." (Sheikh Wadiah)
