For those not sure when, how, & why the Palestine conflict began:

In 1917, Britain planned for a pro-British Zionist outpost in the Middle East.

They also hoped to keep European Jews out of western Europe (antisemitism).

So, in the 1920s, Britain brought them in & gave them Palestinian land without consulting the indigenous owners.

The strife began... & continues.

@DrALJONES It’s a 100 years war for Palestine.. That’s what never ended.

It’s not ”troublesome arabs” but western hubris..

Re "It’s a 100 years war for Palestine.. That’s what never ended."

Under international law, "war" is described as between roughly equal sides with armies.

Palestine is a 100+ year illegal occupation, displacement & replacement & slow genocide by the perpetrators. Plus resistance by the victims.
