    Werent they fucking with Palestine even before the fall of the ottoman empire, and once they became unclaimed land the us went all in on helping. Then ww2 happened and escalated it to what it is today.

      They was conspiring from the beginning to force a state on the people already living there

      After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - The terrorist and first prime minister of Israel Ben Gurion

      There was Yemeni jews who went to Palestine just to live normally and they lived peacefully with Palestinians . So when Zionists talks about how Israel is surrounded by people who hate them simply for being jews is bullshit

      In 1884 the first Yemenites settled in Silwan and for 45 years lived peacefully and on very good terms with their Arab neighbors. It seemed that the people of Silwan, which was known to be a poor village, found common ground with the poor Jewish Yemenites that lived among them.

      Despite the attempt to depict the 1929 Arab Riot as a violent incident against the Jews in Silwan, it is clear that it was not the case. From a letter of gratitude that the Yemenite Jews sent to their Arab neighbors, we can learn about the devotion and benevolence that the Arabs have shown towards the Yemenites by undauntedly protecting them, and also about the amity and good neighborly relations that prevailed between the two communities.

        You make me want to reread this book from high school that spans 3 generations of a Palestinian family. The olive grove. I remember it as a very horrific tell. Im sure it’ll be worse now adays.
