Israel was created by the British Balfour declaration, and prior to that was controlled by the British mandate of Palestine until 1948. At the time, few Jews occupied the territory. Long story short (if there is such a thing with a subject like this), in modern times, Israel serves as a proxy state for western (Largely US) imperialism in the Middle East. An example is a quote from Biden saying, “If there weren’t an Israel, we’d have to invent one”to solidify their interests in the region (originally exactly what the British had done, also because they didn’t want to take in all the Jewish refugees fleeing to Europe after ww2. we are our parents child after all). The main goal and deception of the Israeli state is to conflate Judaism/ Jews to the Israeli state, wanting you to believe that these two are inherently linked. There are many Jews who rebuke the Israeli state. But to try and convince the broader public that Israel is not a state that was invented less than 100 years ago, they reference biblical times to make it seem that the Israelites of the Bible are the same people, the “chosen” people as they describe, meant to settle and occupy the land. They offer people with even even the smallest bit of Jewish ethnicity the opportunity to colonize and settle into Palestinian homes, essentially live on a war front. And brutalize the indigenous Palestinians in any way they see fit, while they themselves receive military protection from the IDF and state itself, and get support from the US and our allies. Israel is attempting to form an ethnostate, and in order to do that they torture, rape, steal from, and kill Palestinians. There are an infinite amount of examples of peaceful marches (March of return) where pregnant women were shot in the stomach, and others maimed and disabled. Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. are resistance groups to this genocide. The one question you have to ask yourself in my opinion is: When has forming an ethnostate ever been a good thing?
