are we pretending there wasn't yet another war and violence towards israelis?
once again, completely ignoring that hamas was elected and was in charge of gaza.
i just looked back and realized you called it the "inflection point that started the road to the modern conflict.". lol. it's interesting that alot of you have access to quotes that only attempt to point the finger at the jews, but never quote other zionists that preach for peace with the local population. i think you may need to diversify your sources.....
jews immigrating to palestine by definition can be called the "inflection point" because they wouldn't be there to conflict without being there. but there are lots of "inflection points". arab / muslims ALSO immigrated to palestine. and the broader arab / muslim world wanted to protect their monopoly. suggesting the only "inflection point" was hezl in 1902 is a joke. jews had a right to be there.
and for reference, again:
and the colonizers are the little red dot.......
it's not inherently violent and the land was available, with alot of it undesirable land.....at the time........
who did gazan's elect?
and fuck, even with restrictions hamas STILL built terror infrastructure throughout ALL of gaza.
again, look at the map above. "mass settlement" is relative. there was a tiny area where no nation stood that was mostly sparsely populated. there was no palestinian national identity, jews purchased land, and had a right to settle there. the idea that only arab / muslims belong there is just a fallacy. jews had just as much of a right to settle there as the incoming arab / muslims (that are now "palestinian refugees").
