        The only time Israel started hostilities that lead to war was in the 6 day war, which was a preemptive strike after Egyptian provocation. Every other time they were attacked first.

          As i mentionned before zionist plan of colonization was pretty clear from the zinoist leaders statements themselvesso the 1948 was the preemptive war. Egypt didn’t plan to start a war, the six president of israel admited that

          The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.

          In contrary Nasser was proposing to resurrect and expand the EIMAC which was created to monitor ceasefires, investigate incidents, and facilitate communication between Israel and Egypt, the proposal was rejected by Israel a sign that it Israel didn’t want to use diplomacy. 2 days before Nasser was going to meet with american diplomats and politicians to easy tension, israel did it’s surprise attack.

        If the countries around them hadn’t invaded them like 7 times…yea…they’d have more goodwill and be less paranoid…now they don’t even trust hamas to run Gaza, because they can’t be sure they won’t pull another Oct 7th stunt again with foreign help.

          People of the 3 Abrahamic religions was living side by side till zionists who lived in other part of the world. The colonial project couldn’t happen without the british colonial power and the Nazi germany collaboration . Just check out the haavara agreement.

          The first prime minister of Israel said this before arabs decided to block the zionism colonial project : “after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine"

          Not to mention that gaza and the west bank wasn’t colonized after the 1948 loss but during the six day war where arabs never intended to retaliate for their previous loss

      wouldn’t take it at face value

      Exactly the fucking point. They didn’t want to take South Africa’s desires at face value either.
