    Would you have accepted someone slicing the territory your people lived in as far back as you remember, expelling you from your home and telling you to move someplace else? I wouldn’t have. Perhaps that’s why.

      You mean the 1948 partition resolution (which didn’t expel anyone from anywhere) or the 1967 armistice borders? Or do you mean the illegal settlements in the West Bank?

        Ah yes, nobody expelled anyone from anywhere in 1948.

        The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when Zionist paramilitaries attacked the village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine, killing at least 107 Palestinian villagers, including women and children. … The massacre was carried out despite the village having agreed to a non-aggression pact. … was a central component of the Nakba and the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight.

          Ok, fine, I read up on it and the Nakba was BEFORE the declaration of war by arab states. I think I saw an explanation that said they were expelled because they supported the arab invaders…which was propaganda I guess.

          I guess it is a sort of “civil war” of independence, but still pretty fucked up any way you look at it :/
