The Nakba would have never happened if the arabs just accepted the UN deal. But unfortunately they were opposed to the idea of israel existing in any shape or form. They started the war and subsequently lost.
Sucks for the people who got caught up in it, but if the arabs really wanted to avoid conflict, maybe they should have agreed with the partition plan.
Jews are native to the land of Israel. That's why before there was palestine, there was the Kingdom of Judah. That's where the word "Jew" gets its name.
Christians and Muslims had hundreds of years of wars and conquests, making them the two largest religions in the world with billions of followers. Christians and Muslims have created entire empires in their names.
Meanwhile Jews did none of this, became a super minority, and were oppressed for hundreds of years. Then after being victimized for all that time, jews decided to stand up for themselves and fight for their own self determination, creating israel.
You cannot tell me it is wrong for Jews to do this when the Arabs have done so much worse.
What right do Arabs have to pretend that they have some sort of moral high ground when they've created empires like this(Umayyad Caliphate)? Oh, that's fine but if Jews just want one piece of land, now that's too much, they can't have that.
lol, the arab states could just grant the Palestinians citizenship, but they hate Israel so much that they'd rather let Palestinians suffer than legitimize israel.
Anyways, I'm not a big fan of the state of israel, but I just hate the whole anti-zionist position.
Honestly, I don't like bringing it up, but I think the anti-zionist position is anti-semitic. This notion that the mere existence of a jewish state is problematic, that jews have zero rights to a homeland, and that they need to live under arab rule. It just seems like this viewpoint simply doesn't value jews as equals to arabs.
This isn't to say that Israel is beyond criticism, but if your criticism of Israel is its mere existence, then what's your solution? Stop existing? No, fuck you. If this is the position that Arabs have, then why shouldn't Israel respond violently to the Palestinians? Why should the existence of Palestine matter to Israel at all, when the same isn't true vice versa? Why should there ever be peace when one side doesn't want the other to exist?
This is the whole attack on titan situation. How are you supposed to react when everyone around you is hostile to you and wants you dead? At some point you need to just fight for your own interest, your own freedom, and disregard the damage you cause in the wake.
If you want to know why The State of Israel acts the way it does, that's why.
