I stopped engaging with this thread as it was obvious OP has an agenda so there was no point, but your post has so many lies I have to respond. As PP said, all Zionist propaganda so it’s important to challenge it to avoid others falling for it.
There may not have been a modern state of Palestine before 1948, but there absolutely was a recognised region called Palestine under the Ottoman Empire and later the British Mandate for Palestine. National identities don’t require prior statehood, as is evident by many countries today not existing in their current form until the 20th century.
Palestinian identity also didn’t suddenly appear with Yasser Arafat. This is a lie repeatedly told to deny the mere existence of Palestinians. The term “Palestinian” as a distinct people, rather than just a reference to those living there, was already developing at least 100 years before, with Arabs in the region identifying as Palestinians well before the 1960s and the first modern use of it recorded in the late 19th century, years before Yasser Arafat was even born. Suggesting it is a marketing ploy ignores how national identities actually form and worse, deliberately ignores the very existence of Palestinians in order to justify the take over of the region by Israel. Identities form through shared language, culture, geography, and political experience and Palestinians are no exception to that. By your logic, many modern national identities should be dismissed the same way
Suggesting everyone only hated Jews is a major oversimplification. Yes some people will have antisemitism as their reason for opposing Zionism but for most, it’s about opposing colonialism and the cost and impact on Palestinians as a consequence of pursuing Zionism. Reducing it to one motive distorts the history and again, deliberately disregards the suffering and losses of the Palestinians.
Black September was widely condemned, and it’s not accurate to say nobody cared. It does show, however, that regional politics involving Palestinians have often been complex and, at times, brutal, but that doesn’t invalidate Palestinian national claims and that doesn’t justify what is happening today. It’s the continued persecution and mistreatment of Palestinians that is happening today that is the issue.
And while Israel returning Sinai after the Six-Day War is real, it’s not the full picture, as other territories remain occupied and disputed. Look at the how the Palestinian territories have reduced over the past 60 years. Look at what’s happening in the West Bank. And let’s not pretend Israel doesn’t have it sights on south Lebanon.
So by all means, support Israel and all that they do, but don’t spread a false narrative in doing so.
