368 Question of Palestine

"Do you mean that we also send people to Western countries to focus on collecting some 'shady scenes' in Western countries, and then our domestic propaganda agencies will report on them in a big way, so that the Soviet people will know about the actual problems in Western countries?"

Manturov put his arm around Katya's slender waist and said, "That's right, don't Western countries have freedom of speech and expression?" Let's use the 'Blood Friday' incident in 1919 and the licorice market incident in 1886 to illustrate what freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are in Western countries.

Aren't they humane? Then use the story of black Americans and the life of British African colonies to illustrate what humanity is.

Anyway, dig out all their bad points, and then add some practical examples or actual data to enhance the persuasiveness. As for the merits of their system, the achievements of the country, try not to say anything, even if they are not mentioned unintentionally, they should try to downplay or smear as much as possible, so that readers will scold the evil of capitalism after reading it. ”

In fact, Western countries, like the Soviet Union, also have a lot of shortcomings, and there are also a lot of black materials that can be used to play.

For example, in 1919, during the general strike in Glasgow, Winston Churchill (later British Prime Minister), then Secretary of War of War, ordered the military and police to suppress the workers, causing many casualties, which completely demonstrated the "protection of freedom of speech and assembly" in Western countries.

Earlier, in 1886, the May Day Strike in Chicago was also bloodily suppressed, and the police prosecuted eight people for murder, but five of them did not go to the scene of the labor movement at all, let alone participate in the so-called "murder". In the end, the always "impartial" US courts sentenced them to death without sufficient evidence, and the so-called core values of the United States, such as "freedom of assembly," "freedom of speech," and "legal justice," were completely unreflected.

Of course, both the Chicago Strike of 1886 and the Glasgow Strike of 1919 were a long time ago.

By the 1940s, it was basically difficult to find any bloody suppression of striking people by the British and American police, but does this mean that there was no black material on the Western side? Of course not. As long as you have the heart to look for it, no matter how "perfect" the country is, you can always find fault with it, not to mention that the United States and Britain are actually "blacker" than the Soviet Union to some extent, and you can find some topics that can be played at any time.

"Okay, then tomorrow I will ask the comrades of the Propaganda Department to prepare 'black materials' about Western countries, and let the media such as Pravda and Iskra report on them, so that the Soviet people can know some of the real situation in Western countries." Katya already understood what Manturov meant, and simply put, he was to treat others the way he did, and through some one-sided reports, let the Soviet people know the real shortcomings of Western countries, and at the same time conceal the advantages of the Western system, thus creating the feeling that "the people of Western countries are living in dire straits".

"By the way, for the time being, we should not launch a public opinion attack on the US side, because the United States has not taken any action against us yet, and we should try our best to maintain 'good relations' with the United States, try to delay the flashpoint of the US-Soviet conflict, and buy us more time to prepare."

Unlike history, after the end of World War II, although there was no common enemy between the United States and the Soviet Union, there was no conflict at the international level for the time being.

Because at that time the Soviet Union had already unified the Korean Peninsula and established a unified Korean socialist regime, thus avoiding the possibility of the Korean War.

In addition, with the help of the Soviet Red Army, the Greek Communist Party took control of the whole of Greece and established a government dominated by the Greek Communist Party, which was included in the Soviet sphere of influence and protected by the Soviet army.

Historically, it was precisely because of the Greek Civil War and the mutual seizure of power between the Communist Party of Greece and the capitalist government supported by Britain that the United States had the pretext of suppressing the expansion of communist forces in Europe, providing economic and economic assistance to the capitalist government of Greece and the Turkish government, and causing confrontation between the capitalist countries and the socialist countries in Europe, and the Cold War broke out.

However, since neither Greece nor the Korean Peninsula would break out in civil war, relations between the United States and the Soviet Union would not deteriorate for the time being because of the civil war between Greece and Korea.

World War II is over, Nazi Germany, the Empire of Japan, and the Kingdom of Italy have all perished, so what common interests are there between the United States and the Soviet Union?

First of all, after the end of World War II, the United States also needed to form a world government organization with the Soviet Union and several other major victorious countries that could maintain world peace and mediate international disputes, that is, the "United Nations" that we are familiar with today.

With the support of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, the United Nations was successfully formed, and with the support of the Soviet Union, Britain, France and other European countries, it was headquartered in Geneva, the second largest city in Switzerland (this time not New York), replacing the League of Nations, which was established in 1920, to become the world's largest and most widely representative intergovernmental organization.

Shortly after the formation of the United Nations, a series of violent clashes broke out between Arabs and Jews in the Palestinian region (then part of the British colony), resulting in many casualties.

The situation in the Palestinian areas immediately heated up, and the British colonial government was unable to solve the problem, so it had to submit the Palestinian question to the United Nations for resolution.

After a round of research, the United Nations finally proposed the United Nations Partition of Palestine, which divided Palestine into two states, one dominated by Jews (later Israel) and the other dominated by Arabs (Palestine).

According to the UN plan, Britain would gradually withdraw its troops in Palestine and end its mandate in Palestine. Thereafter, the Palestinian region will go through a period of transition to the United Nations until both the Jewish and Arab states are established on that land.

According to the blueprint of the partition resolution, the Arab state (i.e., Palestine) had a land area of 11,203 square kilometers, which was about 43% of the total area of Palestine at that time. The vast majority of the region's population is 50,000 Arabs, while only 10,000 are Jews.

As for the territory of the Jewish State (Israel), it has reached 14,942 square kilometers, accounting for about 57% of the total area of Palestine, with 70,000 Arabs and 80,000 Jews in the population.

Although the resolution was opposed by the Arab countries, it was supported by the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, because both of them wanted to establish a state of their own in the Middle East, so that the Jews in their own countries would "have a home" and would not occupy their own domestic resources and would not disturb the national order in their own countries.

In order for Israel to succeed in becoming independent, both the United States and the Soviet Union need the support of the other side, so before Israel's independence, the United States and the Soviet Union did not dare to make big moves for the time being, so as not to provoke each other and provoke others to make trouble on the Israel issue.
