“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves - politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves. The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. Behind the terrorism (by the Native Arabs) is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.” – David Ben Gurion, first prime minister of Zionist entity.
The western leaders figured that expelling western Jews to a desert in the Middle East would be the best way to deal with the ‘Jewish Problem. Fuelled by religious righteousness, the Jewish people believed they still had title on the land that is now called Israel, and marched in with guns and took over, stealing the lands from the Native Palestinian Muslims and Christians, who had lived there for over 1000 years.
I consider this the stupidest political decision of the 20th century. It was bound to lead to never-ending conflict. However, it is too late now to undo.
