and who started that violence? again, as it is today, it was the colonizers. a big component that youre missing is Britain was also executing Jewish nationalists. Jews AND Arabs rebelled against the British while also fighting each other, Britain left because they were already weak from WW2 and ditdnt want to deal with their mess. its been a mess ever since. the only people that have been disproportionally murdered and are fearing for their very existence are the Palestinians. fuck out of here with that Israeli paranoia propaganda
Who are the colonizers, the British? The Arabs? How did the Arabs end up living in Roman Syria anyway?
So we now agree that it was not all roses pre-1947. That a civil war broke out in 1947-1948, and that the surrounding Arab nations invaded to put an end to a partition plan that attempted at least to maintain the peace. If I were an Israeli Jew, I'd be pretty paranoid too.
