If your "understanding" has led you to this screed of a conclusion, then you need to check your sources.
"These people aren't inherently violent." How fucking dumb do you have to be to suggest that about an organization that has in its charter that it seeks to murder every Jew inhabiting Israel? That beheads babies and rapes women and parades them around like trophies, that slits the belly of a pregnant woman and kills the unborn child in front of her before killing her?

Don't use words if you don't know what they mean. They aren't living under an occupation of anyone other than Hamas, which was elected in 2007, two years after Israel pulled out and removed their citizens from the West Bank. They don't live under apartied, because theyre not governed by Israel, and the Israeli Arabs that do live under the government fully participate in it, with their own political parties and their justices in the supreme court.
To quote Human Rights Watch:
While international human rights law gives wide latitude to governments with regard to entry of foreigners, Israel has heightened obligations toward Gaza residents. Because of the continuing controls Israel exercises over the lives and welfare of Gaza’s inhabitants, Israel remains an occupying power under international humanitarian law, despite withdrawing its military forces and settlements from the territory in 2005. Both the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross, the guardians of international humanitarian law, have reached this determination. As the occupying power, Israel remains bound to provide residents of Gaza the rights and protections afforded to them by the law of occupation. Israeli authorities continue to control Gaza’s territorial waters and airspace, and the movement of people and goods, except at Gaza’s border with Egypt. Israel also controls the Palestinian population registry and the infrastructure upon which Gaza relies.

Same for "Zionism," because I'm wholly sure that wherever you looked up all that other nonsense would have tried to say Zionism is evil and antizionism isn't antisemitism (which it most certainly is).
And no it isn't antisemitic to oppose Zionism( a jewish nationalist movement), no more than it is anti-white to oppose a white nationalist movement, or anti muslim to oppose a muslim nationalist movement.
Zionism is an ideology created by non-religious jews based off the nationalist and colonialist ideas that were popular in Europe at the end of the 19th century. In practice zionism has violated much of the fundamental principles of judaism and there are several jewish sects, as well as secular jewish organizations that reject zionism.
The prison you speak of is one where the Warden is Hamas, and no, they werent "violently kicked out of their homes,"
And no, it is not the fault of Israel that they defend themselves over and over again. The only correct thing you said in this pile of uninformed bullshit is that peace talks have fallen apart again and again and again, because the Palestinian leaders refused to accept a state in 1938, 1948, 1967, 2000, 2001, and 2008, purely because it meant having to live alongside a place where Jews could live without persecution. The fucking leader of the Arab population in British-Mandate Palestine was a fucking Nazi, ffs. An actual, bona-fide Nazi. Part of the party. Went to Germany to chat with the Furher and all.

The Palestinians aren't just mindless jew haters. The reason why they reject a jewish state is because they have claim to the entirety of the land.
Before Israel, Palestinians had the entirety of the land. Then they were disposed by the zionist movement. Zionists bought land from landlords and then evicted all of the palestinian tenants in order to make space for jews. Then there was the actual expulsions and massacres that happened in 1948 that forced the palestinians from their homes and made them refugees.
The "two state solution" is inherently a compromise on the part of palestinians because it means giving up their literal birthright that they were violently expelled from in 1948.

The concept of a jewish nation is fundamentally flawed. Why should a nation exist solely for the benefit of jews? That's essentially what Israel seeks to be.
I have absolutely zero connection to the land of palestine. It is not my home, nor was it the home of my ancestors. Yet once I convert, I would be eligible for Israeli citizenship under the law of return.
Yet there are people in gaza and the west bank who are ineligible for Israeli citizenship, despite their families having lived in that land for centuries.
Yes, jews should be able to live free lives without persecution. But so should every other ethnic and religious group. But Israel only cares about the freedom of one particular group.
