it was always about islammic dominance. Jews having idenpendence and equal rights to muslims is an affront to islam and heresy.
it was never about freedom, retaking stolen land or human rights.

it's obvius to anyone who know the history of this conflict, but for those who don't, here's some easy evidence:

in 1920, the british mandate that ruled the area after conquering it from the ottomans, decided to split palestine's territory into 2 unequal halves. and declared the larger half would only belong to the arabs and made a promise that no jews would ever be allowed to live there.

there boom. the palestinian arabs already got their own country, exactly how they wanted. it was renamed the kingdom of transjordan because it was on the other side of the jordan river.
but were the palestinian arabs satisfied? nope lol. because the british still wanted to let the jews have an independent state.

so in 1929 the arabs started a pogrom wave against jews in all of palestine. cities that were not guarded by british soldiers like hebron and gaza completely had their jewish population eradicated by either death or eviction.
this happened 20 YEARS before israel even existed.

and finally in 1937, after years of bloodshed aganist jews and supporting british, the empire decided to give the palestinian arabs *almost* everything they wanted:
control 80% of palestines OTHER half, and the jews only recieving 20% which were mostly a few towns by the coast and northern hills.
that was the best deal offered the palestinians in history.
but they refused it.

they were not willing to tolerate jewish independence. according to islam jews must be 3rd grade citizens, descriminated, paying extra taxes just for being jewish, and have much less rights.
the idea that jews could be living as equals and even having power of muslims was unacceptable. and so the plan was scrapped.

later in 1947, another partiotion plan was offered, this time the arabs would recieve on 40% of palestine's second half, and the idiot fanatics refused it again. and again in 1995 and again in 2008 etc etc.

see? if the palestinians freedom and their own land, they alraedy had it, and could have recieved even more. but that was never the root of their issue. they cannot be at peace with a jewish state, ever. no matter how small it might be.
and it's about time for the west to wise up to their fundementalist madness and stop supporting them

thx for coming to my ted talk, there's punch by the door and we will later have a pizza party
