Was this the 1944 jewish insurgence in Palestine
Or the 1948 Israeli declaration of independence
Israel fired the first shot (surprise attack) in the 6 day war
Or the mass land grab followed by blocking medical and humanitarian supplies
Palestine has accepted the 2 state solution since 1970, Israel hasn't, they want more land
In fact i can find no reference to your claim dating back to the late 1800s when the conflicts first began so please be good enough to provide citation that the Palestinians declared war on Israel
