In 1938/9, the British rejected two states in Palestine, instead proposing a single state, putting strict limits on Jewish immigration, and restrictions on land sales from Arabs to Jews. The Palestinian Arab leadership rejected it because they wanted immediate independence and the complete and immediate cessation of all Jewish Immigration. So, the Arabs living in Palestine, were offered a single Arab majority state with strict limits of Jewish immigration, and still rejected it. It’s possible they rejected it because, influenced by both Nazi ideology and Islamism, they wanted the Jews eliminated from the land, so the British offer wasn’t good enough.

The mass murder, rape, and digitally advertising their violence of the October 7th attack, wasn’t fighters getting out of hand, it was part of Hamas’s plan to commit horrible atrocities and show those atrocities to the world. They then ran back to Gaza and hid under and amongst civilians, with the plan of pretending that Israel’s attempt to kill these human shield wielding terrorists was genocide.

Is Turkey a regional power threat to Israel? Turkey has been working against Israel’s interests and its leader has rhetorically demonized the Jewish state.
