Like the Palestine-Israel conflict which a lot has happened since it started, you can barely argue or talk about it if you are literally out of the loop without mistepping because its just a too complex situation for us westerners.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Abraham, who beget two sons, who each beget one of two shitty peoples, who both claim some mystical sky daddy gave them the right of land ownership. And they’ve been fighting ever since, barring an occasional peace that always got broken. But now, one side is curb stomping the other hard, largely in part due to outside aid.
This is a pure anti colonial struggle and the Zionists are using religion as the justification for apartheid and genocide.
If the israelis were Hindu the Palestinians would still be fighting for their freedom.
The region known as Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire for 400 years until being occupied by the British post WW1. As such drawing a straight line between Abraham and the current occupation/genocide is complete bullshit
In 1878 there were only 15K jews making up 3% of the population. By 1914 that number increased to 58,000 (15%) due to the Zionist movement which was bolstered by a British Mandate.
While the winners of WW2 divided their territorial spoils, they mandated the 2 state solution, triggering a civil war in 1947. During this civil war Israel, with western support, drove 85% of Palestinians into the Egypt and Jordan controlled Gaza Strip and West Bank.
It was during the 1967 “6 day war” that Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza strip… again driving thousands out of their homes.
