again, it doesn't matter. neither side has the high ground. you go back far enough the palestinians get to say that israel started it by displacing them.
Thought you didn't care about ancient history when I brought up the fact that they refused to allow Israel to exist in 1948. I guess you only care what will win you the argument regardless what the truth is.
the point was the conflict has been ongoing for the entirety of the lives of 97% of the population, and most of those weren't alive until after 1990. to them, all they've seen is israel killing and mutilating their friends and family and destroying their homes, and then denying them the ability to rebuild.
who started it doesn't really matter to them. it's an academic argument when compared to the reality of their lives.
