    Sort of.

    The Arabs had plenty of opportunities to form their own state(s) in the region over time, but at every juncture they rejected the opportunity.

        More like: “the Holocaust killed a third of our population, and left us homeless, and the international community and the sovereign nation that controls our ancestral homeland have agreed to give us a tiny piece of desert to rebuild on.”

          have agreed to give us a tiny piece of desert to rebuild on

          this is how it really happened.

          Whether or not they were given a tiny piece of desert, it’s clear they’ve taken far more than they were supposed to, and they’ve continuously done so with the aid of the international community. It’s genocide. It’s an open air prison. It’s apartheid.

            Hmm… I WONDER what happened to make those borders change? If only there was some way to find information on the Internet!

              Yes this diagram needs some extra labels about who started the war in each expansion.

              You mean like a minority population unilaterally declaring they are their own country and the land belongs to them now.

      Even the forced spread of the eurocentric notion of a nation state is a product of imperialism.
