I have never encountered any subject in my life as complicated to fact-check as Israel/Palestine. Take what should be a very simple question: Who attacked first in 1948? If you’re claiming Palestinians had their land stolen, this is a really important question. Is it stolen if you started the fight and a bunch of Holocaust survivors fought you off? So you read about Israel declaring independence and Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq attacking. Seems simple. They attacked first. But then, no. Because you read about Palestinians coming to an agreement to limit Jewish immigration and being lied to about it. So, Palestinians were correct to feel their land was stolen. And then, no. You go back and read about all the Jewish people who fled Russia and worked hard to cultivate the land, something the Arab population thought was impossible. Under homesteading principles, this is their land. And then, no, because you go back to 1946 and read about Zionist extremists committing terrorism by bombing the King David Hotel when they were concerned they wouldn’t get a Jewish state. Anyone on Twitter that is telling you any of this is straightforward is completely full of shit.
