(SF novel) East of Nakba (111)
Chapter 37 Retired General "Shy-Rock"
(2) The 1948 Arab-Israeli War (Nakba) (2/3)
Desperate U.K. made whole area to be Mandate
and tried to suppress both Jews and Arabs. At that time, U.K. which had vast
colonies in Asia like India and the Malay Peninsula needed the Jerusalem and
the Suez Canal, as a transit point for colonial operations.
The father of Shy-Rock sometime fought against
the Arabs and at other times against the British colonial government to
establish the Jewish state, Israel. It looked like civil war. The fighting was
more chaotic since Palestine was a British mandate and not an authorized state.
The strongest one was a winner. For the Jews, the 2,000-years long dream to
rebuild their homeland will come to an end if they lose the civil war. They
didn't hesitate to act as terrorists.
