Meanwhile on the International front....

Even that was ahistorical, at least whatever in there didn't have inexact language such as "loss of land occupied by Palestinians."

What SPECIFICALLY does that mean?

Because speaking in very exact terms. ... In 1947, the United Nations came up with a plan that would divide Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into separate Jewish and Arab states in May 1948, with the religious sites in Jerusalem staying under International control. The goal was a Jewish state. ... in the wake of what had happened in Europe earlier in the decade. The Jews were on board with that. Guess who wasn't?

The Arabs living there (as well as in neighboring countries) flat out refused that arrangement. Not only refused to accept a Jewish state, they formed the "Arab Liberation Army" (largely composed of Arabs from neighboring countries, because those "Palestinians" who didn't think of themselves that way in 1947, weren't very numerous). ... which proceeded to attack Jewish cities, settlements and the Jewish armed forces. They would not accept a Jewish state or peaceful coexistence, and they attacked. The Jews fought back to gain control over the territory allotted to them under the Partition Plan, and they gained the upper hand. In May, 1948, Israel declared its independence, which brought an even bigger wave of Arab attacks -- armies from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egypt. To act like, oh those were "external conflicts" and it wasn't a coordinated effort of Arab forces from all over the region to try to eradicate Israel several times (again in 1967, 1973) is absurd.

But just sticking to that "loss of land occupied by Palestinians" THAT is the backdrop in which "The Nakba" occurred. They would not accept Jews there, did not want coexistence, and they attacked. ... and they LOST (something THEY had initiated). ... and either fled or they were forceably expelled when it was crystal clear that they would not accept peace and would remain a threat if they remained.

Today, there are something like 5 million Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank (their population has exploded). Their average age is 19. Whatever curated history they have been fed like what you posted (dishonestly or otherwise), this isn't 1947 (a year that might as well be 1647 for most of them given their age) it is 2024.

But the one thing that hasn't changed since then, they don't want Israel to exist (opinion polls show this over and over again), and the attacks keep coming, with them now embracing terrorism because of their relative powerlesness, and the fact that most of the rest of the Arabs in the region have moved on and given up that fight. Imagine how much better the grandchildren and great grandchildren of those Arabs in 1947 would be today if they would have just accepted coexistence, something that has been rejected over and over again (for example, Yasser Arafat in 2000 or 2001 when Israel was tripping all over itself to come to a deal).

 

With oppressor / oppressed narratives that won't even acknowledge the historical facts of what led to where we are today.

Seriously, it's not being "solved" anytime soon.

What happened on October 7 was brutal, there are still hostages being held in Gaza, and Israelis have always been very hardened about dealing with Arab aggression. It's as intractable as it has been for decades.

 

They have been bombing the living shit (and then some) out of the Gaza Strip.
