The State of Israel was declared today, in Tel Aviv, because Jerusalem was under seige. I wasn’t there, because my stateless parents had just taken us to America, having been expelled from England. Their previous attempts to make it to Palestine had led to their return to Danzig on the eve of the German invasion, and they weren’t going to try again after world war 2, since the British had just thrown them out of England. Confused? So were they.
Two states were declared, by the way, but while the Jews rejoiced, the Arabs rejected the declaration.
