@alinastarkovv Also, I think you’ll find this interesting; the 1937 Peel Commission was the recommended partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states bc the Mandate had become unworkable. The Commission gave Arabs more than 3/4 of the land and Israelis less than 1/4, considering there was a piece in the middle under English control. Arabs opposed this plan, even tho they were the obv beneficiary. 
            Then there were the 1939 White Papers, which the Brits created to appease the Arabs (remember that there were Arab revolts). It would provide an Arab-majority Palestinian state w/in 10yrs, severely limited immigration for Jews (further immigration would be determined by Arabs), and restricted Jews from buying land in all but 5% of the Mandate. Arabs rejected everything but the limitations of Jewish immigration - remember that the Holocaust was going on rn, the first concentration camp was built in 1933. Jews trying escape Hitlers ‘Final Solution’ were turned down entry into the Mandate and sent back to Europe.
            I encourage you to look at all the wars Arabs have started with Israel. I also encourage you to think about how Palestinian immigration to Israel is common, how 20% of Israel is Arab, how 18% of Israel is Muslim, how anybody can run for any position in government in Israel, how there is 0% apartheid.
            Finally, the Quran never explicitly mentions Palestine, but it does specify that the Land of Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, that God Himself gave that Land to them as heritage and ordered them to live therein.

@alinastarkovv Jews have been living in the area we now call Israel since the 17th century BCE. The first recorded use of the word ‘Israel’ is in the 13th century BCE. After famine and strife, the first Jewish monarchy is established in 1020 BCE and, 20yrs later, Jerusalem becomes is capital. 
            In 63 BCE, Romans arrive, conquer and occupy Israel. In 135 CE, after a failed Jewish revolt, the Romans declared that the land be called ‘Syria-Palestina’ - this makes Palestine a name for Ancient Israel.
            After the Islamist conquest of the Middle East in the 7th century, Arabs settled in what is now Israel. Jewish population never ceased, despite Muslim rule.
            The Zionist movement began in the late 19th century in response to the antisemitism in Europe and Russia. Zionism is a movement that was originally for (originally) the re-establishment (after the Ottoman empires collapse) and now means the development and protection of a Jewish nation in Israel. 
            The Mandate of Palestine was created by League of Nations in 1923 for the support of a Jewish national home. Arabs opposed the Mandate of Palestine (so for those who shout ‘we want ‘48, you are shouting for a colony that Arabs and Muslims didn’t even support, and that Israelis fought to end)

@oneam_reader I'm sorry I am not reading all of that. What I know and what is a fact is that the place where isrsel is currently residing in and has been residing in for decades is palestine's land. They have no right to come in and take what is theirs. They have committed war acts. Multiple countries have tried to help palestine in any way that they can and Israel has dropped bombs on countries that have tried to send aid to palestine. The U.S has been funding isrsel's war crimes. Israel is no way the victim here. It can't be a war if they're oppressing innocents. Thats all it is. Plus on top of all of this. U can't expect palestine to not retaliate.
