And? Babylonian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine conquests? Crusades? Ottomans deporting them from Tel Aviv and Gaffa? We just went over this, keep up.

Those are all Europeans. They have 0 relation to anybody in the region today (except the Ottomans who are in kind of a weird spot).

Nonviolent occupation under UN sanctions. Really spooky stuff.

Nonviolent. Nonviolent? Do you believe what you just said?

You’re going to have to provide sources for this. You’re genuinely coming across as extremely predisposed to pardon any attempt of complete, violent obliteration by Israel’s neighbors.

Uh... Egypt had to declare a whole other war to get Israel to give back Sinai. The Golan heights are effectively Israeli territory today. Palestinians needed the first Intifada to get a semblance of nominal independence. Israel never gave back anything willingly.

Anyway I won't engage any further, but you need some serious introspection if you actually believe the nonsense you just said.

You're the one living in lala land where the British didn't over promise after the collapse of an empire and you'll only condemn one side of alleged genocide. It was just those filthy colonizers.

I don't believe it, I know it. The sources are very clear. And I can find many more examples of Jews being treated like second class citizens by Arabs, not just Europeans. How preposterous for you to even refute. Ever heard of a dhimmi? You want to talk about apartheid then let's talk about that instead of you making baseless claim after baseless claim.

BTW I just wanted to share some quotes and information with you since you seem to think Plan Dalet was expansionist and not precipitated. Not to mention those villages were either actively or imminently hostile.

"This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades." Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League. October 11, 1947 report on the pan-Arab summit

"The Arabs have taken into their own hands the final solution of the Jewish problem. The problem will be solved only in blood and fire. The Jews will soon be driven out." Arab Higher Committee circular. 1947

"The surviving Jews would be helped to return to their native countries, but my estimation is that none will survive" Ahmed Shuqeiri (later PLO chief) quoted in Churchill and Churchill, p. 52

"There are over one million Jews in the Arab Lands. Their lives will be forfeit as well when we conquer the Jews.” Azzam Pasha, the Arab League General Secretary, May 1948.
