Most of what you write here is a repetition of propaganda from Communist-leaning revisionist historians like Chomsky and Pappe who deliberately skew facts to meet their anti-Zionist anti-American narrative. I can understand Islamists like this stuff, as it affirms their deep seated hatred of Jews, but it's amazing to me that so many people in the West have uncritically bought into this intellectually dishonest history. There are three types of anti-Jewish antisemitism in history: from the Christians, from the Nazis, and now from the anti-Israel crowd, which is just a veiled hatred of Jews. One never hears anti-Zionists talk about the suffering of Muslims at the hands of other Muslims in the ME, or the at the hands of the CCP in Xinjiang (which is a real genocide) or any number of other horrors that occur worldwide. So it's not a concern for human rights that motivates anti-Zionism; it's just an irrational hatred of one specific people. If you want a more accurate history of the conflict, going back to the 19th century, read "The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process" by Robert Spencer. It goes through the repeated attempts by Israel -- from 1947 onward - to achieve peace, which was always rejected by the Arabs. For them it is a religious mandate to destroy the Jews; it's not rational and the anti-Zionist histories are incredibly one-sided as though the Arabs had no active role in it the conflict and didn't start it -- but of course they did and they lost and keep losing. As for going to Israel, I've been there and would gladly go back again and would support it however I can, rather than see it succumb to the likes of Hamas.
