He’s not entirely wrong, this all did start originally because of Islamic extremism
I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
Look up every muslim war against Israel and that is always the primary justification.
lol do you think the Jews showed up 60 years ago and just started killing Muslims for fun or something?
100 years ago. But yes. The Balfour declaration sort of kicked things off.
It's another example of the British giving away land that they didn't actually own. (But they came in and took it after WW1)

Not for fun, for land and their property. The fun thing about referencing history in the modern age is you can literally verify many things with a quick Internet search. The sad thing is many people seem disinclined to do so.
That's an arbitrary place to put the "start" marker.
and Islamic extremism is a direct result of Western aggression …
It’s more of a direct result of lack of education and poverty.
On the contrary islamic radicals are more often well educated. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/05/islamic-state-recruits-world-bank-study-education-boko-haram
Islamic extremism directly funded by Israel, with the goal of keeping the Palestinians divided while also giving an excuse for more ethnic cleansing in areas where that Islamic extremism was not in control.
Oh yea remember the Yom Kippur war where Israeli paid all of its neighboring countries to invade them.
You people need to catch up on your history, saying uneducated things like that just makes you look dumb.
You want to talk history? Let's talk about how the IDF was formed out of three separate Zionist terrorist organizations, and how the worst of the bunch, Lehi, wanted to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis.
Ah yes the famous Jewish Nazis
Thanks for proving my point better than I ever could lol
You really don't know?
The Lehi actually tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis, multiple times from 1940 until the founder of Lehi died in 1941. The Nazis refused to work with them.
This is all well established historical fact.
The founder of Lehi was fucked up. He bought into Nazi race science except he rearranged the races. He claimed that the Jewish people were the chosen ones and that the Arabs needed to be eradicated.
Anyway the main Lehi got up to was assassination.
They murdered British citizens in Mandatory Palestine, Jews who they thought were too friendly with the British or Palestinians, and any Palestinians who looked like they might be influential.
The irony of you mocking anyone for not knowing history is off the charts.
