    Israel was founded in 1948. How was Israel backing a campaign to kill Palestinians for twenty four years prior to its existence? Also, if Israel’s goal is to kill all Palestinians, why are daily death tolls going down and why are there any buildings still standing in Gaza and the West Bank?

      If you’re going to correct people you should probably get the details right.

      Settlement started long before the founding of Israel, afterall there must be citizens to start a country.

      It really got going in 1917 when, after WW1 and the carving up of the Ottoman empire, Britain was like “fuck me but that looks like a good place to shove Jewish people innit?”.

      Others have mentioned the history info you lack here so I won’t tackle that. I have another question:

      Do you recall any other significant events at 1948 though?
