My own article.

The bottom line with the Israel Palestine conflict is that the Arabs refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist, and always have. After the Balfour declaration, Arabs in the region staged violent riots during Muslim holidays to protest the idea of ANY Jewish state in the region, rejected the British offer for ANY Jewish state in the region (even very, very small one), terrorized the Jewish communities there for decades, waged a full-scale rebellion for years against both the Jewish and British, and rejected even an Arab dominated single Palestine because they didn't want ANY Jewish recognition in 1939. Then, the Grand Mufti of Palestine, the first major modern Palestinian Arab leader, joined the Nazis. He organized Muslims around the world to the Nazi cause, rallied them to "kill Jews wherever you find them," organized a Muslim branch of the SS, orchestrated Jews trying to escape to be sent to camps instead, and never even apologized for his Nazi alliance. Many of the modern anti-semitic ideas of the Mideast were heavily influenced by his campaigns.

In 1947, the UN proposed a two-state solution to Palestine, which, again, the Arabs rejected. In 1948, the Arab League attacked Israel, and lost. After the war, Israel proposed peace terms, including a two-state solution, which the Arab League again refused. When Egypt occupied Gaza from 1948 to 1967 and Jordan occupied East Jerusalem & the West Bank from 1948 to 1967, they were far, far harsher to non-Arabs than Israel has ever been to Arabs; indeed, they expelled Jews, including from the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, where they had lived for centuries, and denied access to the Wailing Wall (to this day, Palestinian Arabs refuse to recognize it as a holy site for Jews, claiming the wall's religious significance to Jews is "made up." )

In the 1950s, the Arab nations responded to losing the 1948 war by expelling Jews en masse, often without property protections, from their respective nations, at a level Israel never did to the Palestinian Arabs (most of whom fled Palestine in 1948 because they thought the Arab League would crush Israel, and then they could return safely while avoiding being in the middle of the conflict.) While Jews were usually 2nd class citizens during the era of Arab then Ottoman dominance over the middle east, their treatment was far, far worse in the post World War 2 Arab return to power, an era heavily shaped by Nazi rhetoric from the Grand Mufti's strategies of the 1940s. Today, the most intensely anti-semitic prejudiced region in the world is the mideast, especially the Palestinian Arabs. You won't see the many anti-Israel Jews or others honeymooning, holding special holidays, or moving to the Arab mideast that many of them excuse daily any time soon. Glenn Greenwald, a notorious apologist for the Palestinian Arab cause and often for Islamists, won't be vacationing in any of the Arab world anytime soon.

In 1967, the Arabs once again boasted of raising their armies to wage war on Israel, and once again got their asses kicked. This time, the Israelis took back key land areas, including east Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank, but they did not do the mass expulsions and harsh oppressions that the Arabs had done to Jews in those regions when they had won in 1948. Soon after, Israel again offered land-for-peace, mostly seeking a mere recognition of their right to exist. And, again, the Arabs refused, with their infamous three No's: no peace, no recognition of Israel, no two-state solution. Arab nations also often rejected Palestinian refugees coming to their countries, and instead using them as stateless people to wage war on Israel.

A big peace movement built up in Israel culminating in a generous offer in 2000 rejected by Arafat (a relative, by the way, of the Nazi-allied Grand Mufti). In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza. The result? Less violence? More tolerance? Nope. The rise of Hamas. Again, the military/right wing of Israel proved prescient of what giving away Gaza (including expelling 8K Israelis from their homes) would do -- simply empower the radicalized wing of the Palestinian Arabs and now have a good geographic space to shell Israel, which is precisely what happened. At this point, much of the peace movement in Israel faded in the political world within Israel, as more and more Israelis saw little chance for a two-state solution, or any workable, lasting peace with Palestinian Arabs still committed to driving them into the sea. Complete withdrawal from the occupied territories is not much of a solution either, as the Gaza experience revealed in the bright colors of incoming rockets.

The western left began to celebrate the Palestinian Arab side in the 1960s, as "cool" "chic" "rebels", but it took on a new life in the 2000s when some blamed the Israeli conflict for the roots of 9/11 (see a CIA-backed book Blowback) and the American left especially shifted their perspective en masse from seeing minority Islamists as an oppressive minority (see their attacks on the Taliban's rule by the likes of the wife of Jay Leno in the 1990s) to seeing minority Islamists as an oppressed minority. The left's strange love affair with Islamists blossomed into full bloom in large parts of the western media, academia, think tanks, and ultimately the government itself, as much of the State Department and big parts of the Deep State is virulently anti-Israel. (This activated some powerful Israel backers, including Haim Saban and Sheldon Adelson, to counter-act this movement, in both parties, to partial success, but the State Department has remained mostly anti-Israel, as as has the newsrooms at places like CNN. I know personally from people who worked in both in the last decade.) Notice how the Palestinian Arab narrative tends to track the anti-Trump, or BLM, or comparable media narratives when they push propaganda. Even the visuals often look alike between BLM & Palestinian Arab narratives, and that isn't coincidental.

Bottom line: no peace or withdrawal will come until the Arab world accepts Israel's right to exist, withdraws its demands to re-Arab populate Israel with a "right to return", and isn't filled with an Arab population that can't wait to "kill all the Jews." Everything else is political theatre to induce western empathy as the "victimized" "occupied" people, when they live on land legitimately won in war, and the only reason they are still there is because the Israelis were nowhere near as vicious as the Arabs were when they ruled the exact same areas toward their opposite religious groups. Indeed, up to 20% of Israel itself is Arab, with much stronger protections than you will find for any Jew in any Arab nation.

In the end, ignore the lies, and as always, be skeptical of the Institutional Narrative. Oh, and never trust a group that decided to side with the Nazis...
