It all started with a man named Abraham that came from Ur, Iraq and was designated as a Prophet of God. He was married to two women, Sarah and Hagar who gave birth to Isaac and Ishmael respectively. He was told to migrate to Palestine to spread the message of God and from his son Isaac, the lineage of the Hebrew peoples began. It is notable that Palestine was not first settled by him and was already settled by the Canaanite civilizations that constituted the Amalek(Goliath’s people), the Phoenicians, and other Aramaic speaking tribes. Isaac had a son named Jacob who was named Israel or “Servant of God” in Hebrew and he had 12 sons which constituted the 12 Tribes of Israel later on. Of his 12 sons, Joseph settled in Egypt after an incident in Palestine, and he became a minister there to the point where his brothers decades later asked for his assistance to relieve them of a drought in Palestine. The solution was to have the Hebrew peoples re-settle in Egypt to avoid the drought in Palestine. Centuries later, the Hebrew peoples were enslaved and it wasn’t until Moses took the 12 tribes onto an Exodus to Palestine that wasn’t completed in his lifetime. It wasn’t until a man named David fought the Amalek and most notably defeated their leader Goliath where later on he established a kingdom inherited by his son Solomon and several other Hebrew kings in Palestine. Through civil war and foreign invasions, the twelve tribes of Israel that were subjects to the Kingdom of Israel had thus scattered because of persecution or stayed in Palestine. For the most part, the modern day Mizrahi Jews are the descendants of either the Jews that stayed in Palestine or that had settled the larger Middle East and North Africa. Many Jews also had intermarried with European clans in Germany and Spain which make up the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews today. However, a large majority of the 12 tribes of Israel were still settled in Palestine until our modern day and that is proven by DNA samples taken from modern day Palestinians. Nonetheless, the inhabitants of Palestine were larger and more ancient than the short lived kingdom of Israel and the Jews simply settled the region at a later time and weren’t the indigenous peoples of Palestine either. It wasn’t until the 19th century, where the idea that the World’s Jews should settle together in a homeland reminiscent of the Kingdom of Israel with complete disregard to the strictly ethnic nature of the modern Palestinian region and not differentiating between Ethnic Hebrews and Religiously inclined Jews as well. The Zionist movement was thus born before WWI and the British Mandate of Palestine had encouraged Zionist gangs to settle peacefully at first and thus it took a violent turn of evacuating indigenous Palestinians and massacring them en masse to force emigrations to other Arab countries. Up to 6 million Palestinians had resettled all over the world in response to the violent colonial Zionism embarked upon. In WWII, the holocaust occurred which had killed a significant number of Jews in Europe which catalyzed the need for the Jewish population in the world to settle in the Palestinian homeland, either by forcing the Palestinians out or by attempting to establish Political gridlocks that kicked the Palestinians out regardless. Through civil war and foreign invasions, the twelve tribes of Israel that were subjects to the Kingdom of Israel had thus scattered because of persecution or stayed in Palestine. For the most part, the modern day Mizrahi Jews are the descendants of either the Jews that stayed in Palestine or that had settled. The land called Israel now was a part of the Ottoman Empire, and after its collapse, it came under British occupation under the “British Mandate of Palestine”.During the time of the British Mandate, the majority of the land that is now Israel was inhabited and owned by Palestinian Arabs. Following the Holocaust and the end of WWII, as well as the politicization of the Zionist movement [which called for the creation of a Jewish state in the land of Palestine], there was a massive spike in Jewish immigration to the region. Despite this, Palestinian Arabs still made up a majority of the population, making up 69% of the population [~1,332,270 people] with the Jewish population making up 39% [~553,600], who were up from around 80,000 people just years before In 1948, after nearly hundreds of massacres and genocidal procedures, the state of Israel was announced and the Palestinian people had largely been emptied out of significant areas in Northern Palestine. Through a series of Wars backed by largely Bloodthirsty Jewish American Lobbyists they had established a campaign of complete brain-wash propaganda to allude to a “homeland” by completely denying the existence of the Palestinian people altogether. In 1967 there was an invasion of Jerusalem by which it was successful in establishing an almost huge divide in Palestine which either pushed out Palestinians mostly to the West Bank or a small area called Gaza. Many groups chose to resist the occupation like the Palestinian Liberation Organization was a revolutionary group at first, but with sell out “Peace Negotiations” they had largely withdrew from any of the initial causes they were adhering to and thus Violent reactionary groups like Hamas or Al Jihad Al Islamiy were born. Gaza was largely settled by refugees from all over Palestine where Gaza is a small plot of land that eventually had 1.5 million people altogether. As they had declared independence from Israeli occupation, they voted Hamas as their representatives and Israel has blockaded and sieged them for over 6 years; letting in only basic supplies of nutrition to barely keep them alive. Many battles later, Israel uses Hamas as a scapegoat to completely annihilate and level Gaza and its inhabitants, and here we are today with a bunch of Bloodthirsty Zionists that hide their Colonial agendas with a “Religious” justification and yet steal, settle, and evacuate a people based on their perverted idea that they are entitled to a land that was settled briefly by their ancestors and thus believe they have a right to a land that no one ever actually “promised” to them to begin with. And there we have ladies and gentleman a brief history of the conflict and the looting. And may I add a little comment on your recent speech Mr President Obama "no country on earth would tolerate missiles raining down on it's citizens" did you forget about the drone strikes on Pakistan and Yemen ?
