Any sign you were capable of thinking would be welcome, but there is no sign of rational thought in your post. If you were capable of thinking, you would observe that all the entities making war on Israel are Iranian proxies, funded and armed by Iran and would not be able to continue were it not for the support of Iran.
Pay attention, Corky, the argument you made is that Iran is behind all the mischief in Palestine. The PLO was founded in 1964. The Iranian Revolution didn't happen until 1968.
The Palestinian people were never "resisting Zionist Occupation", they were resisting the end of Islamic law in Palestine under which Jews were no longer oppressed and persecuted second class citizens as they had been for over a thousand years.
Except once again, the Jews weren't living in Palestine in any great number until 1920. In 1914, there were 94K Jews in Palestine and 525K Muslims. They were only about 14% of the population after decades of European Jews sneaking into Palestine.
The ironic thing was that the Arabs revolted against Ottoman Rule on the promise by the British (Through T.E. Lawrence) that they would have their own countries in the region. Instead, France and Britain carved the place up and started importing European Jews into Palestine. But even by 1937, Jews were still only 17% of the population of Palestine.
Only after WWII did Europe feel a big sad about the Holocaust and dumped most of Europe's surviving Jews into Palestine.
To give you a perspective, let's suppose that China started dumping thousands of Mexican Immigrants into your neighborhood, armed them to the teeth, and swatted you down when you tried to object to the whole thing. (ANd frankly, Mexicans have a better claim to California and Texas than Europe's Jews had on Palestine.
The Arabs greeted the Jews with such hostility because the British arrival in Palestine in 1920 meant the end of Islamic law and the end of the Muslims' right under it to oppress and persecute Jews. There is no record of any land theft by the Jews or of any ethnic cleansing in Mandatory Palestine, so there was no reason for the Arabs to so passionately attack the Jews other than the intense antisemitism embodied in Islamic law since the tenth century.
Okay, it sure as hell looks like land theft to me.
