The problem though is we can't start with the Nakba. The Nakba is a product of the Great Revolt that occurred nearly a decade before, which really set the stage. We are looking at Palestine in 1936, where the Palestinian Arabs revolted against Britain and attempted to assert their own independence at the cost of the Jewish population. This revolt would end up changing everything. It harmed both Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs in the long run. We also have to look at the time leading up to the Nakba, where the Arab world had sided with Hitler, and were attempting to implement the Final Solution in Palestine. The war in Europe not going as planned would prevent this, but it set a precedent.
Even with the Nakba, we have to realize that a huge reason that came to be was because of the outside Arab world. I mean, leading up to this point, wealthy Palestinian Arabs were freely selling their land to Jews who were coming in. At the same time, the Arab world was assuring them that they would destroy the forming Israeli state, and all the land would be given back. When war broke out, many Palestinians were encouraged to leave by Arab leaders who said that the Arab world would wipe Israel off the map, and a Palestinian state would be set up. When that didn't happen, the Arab world abandoned, in large part, the displaced Palestinians.
This is further complicated by peace talks that included a two state solution that were rejected by Arab leaders, because nothing but destroying Israel would be accepted. What's of interest here though is that the only reason Israelis were able to survive these wars was because they were trained by Britain during the Great Revolt.
The Palestinians have been shafted here. They have had terrible representation, and even today, that's true with their governing body being a terrorist organization that wants genocide. They were let down by the Arab world who helped put them into this terrible situation.
And Israel has some blame in all of this. But I think too often we just ignore all of this history that has shaped this. Israel has been formed and shaped by attempt after attempt of people trying to exterminate them. That constant threat is going to have an extreme impact on how they are shaped. And the Palestinians have been largely been used as pawns by the Arab world in an attempt to wipe Israel out, only to be abandoned when that failed to pan out. Which in turn has shaped who they are and have allowed extremists to take over the governing body.
Many Israelis are Palestinians. They have lived in Palestine as long as many Palestinian Arabs. In fact, the reason that many Israelis were able to acquire land there was because wealthy Palestinians sold them the land. And we can't forget that the Arab leaders, during the war in 1948, encouraged Palestinians to leave their homes with the promise they would be able to return. Why? So they could wage an all out war in order to wipe Israel off the planet and finish what Hitler started. In fact, the Arab world was planning on implementing the Final Solution in Palestine, but because the war in Europe turned, the Nazis weren't able to finalize it.
And the US really had nothing to do with this for the longest time. In fact, every time the Arab world attacked Israel, the US and rest of the world basically told Israel, once they achieved victory, or at least stopped the attack, to stop. They didn't help Israel, they just looked on. Yeah, now there is a connection, but Palestine is also ran by a terrorist organization, with links to many other terrorist organizations. And if you want to talk about racism, the Hamas have been clear they want to commit genocide against Jews.
