The fact that Jews lived in Palestine before 1948 isn’t the gotcha u think it is. Nobody serious denies Jewish history or the existence of Jewish communities there.
But here’s what your carefully curated slideshow leaves out:
> Palestinians were also living there, and they were the majority before Israel was established.
> The 1947 UN partition plan allocated roughly 56% of the land to a proposed Jewish state, despite Jews making up less than a 1/3 of the population.
> Around 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes in 1948.
>Their displacement, lost homes and lost property don’t magically disappear because u found a photo of a Jewish farmer from 1890.
Photos of Jewish communities and Hebrew inscriptions on British Mandate stamps establish neither exclusive sovereignty nor the absence of Palestinian dispossession.
I hope that helps
“Palestine was stolen by Jews in 1948”
Then they show you:
• Jewish banks & stores in the 1940s
• Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 1925
• Tel Aviv being founded, 1908
• Jewish farmers in Zikhron Yaakov, 1890
• Jewish settlers in the 1880s
• Jews of Jerusalem, 1834
And British Mandate stamps that literally say “Land of Israel” in Hebrew.
How exactly do you “steal” something you’ve lived in, built, and owned for centuries?
History isn’t a slogan.
