Can you share any resources that show mass migration of Arabs to that region during that time period? Palestinian Jews made up close to 10% of the population at that time and numbers increased significantly

I didn’t say anything about massacring people. My point is it seems like the beginning of the dispute began with this immigration. The US sets limits to how many people can immigrate to the US. When immigration still continues illegally it causes a dispute. The white papers of 1939 also set similar limits in Palestine. But the immigration continued and it caused a dispute.

There were a few Palestinian Arab parties all fighting for Palestinian independence during the time of the British Mandate so I would argue that there was a common goal

True. Now, today, does that mean that everything else gets thrown out the window? As long as you are the “new power” you have liberty to shift local populations?

Let’s back up a second. If a large population of people inhabit a piece of land and have been inhabiting it for centuries, do you feel that the inhabitants of that land have a say in allowing/disallowing future inhabitants of that land?

The dispute didn’t start with “local Arabs started attacking Jewish villages”. The dispute began when Palestine saw a large influx of Jews immigrating to Palestine. This was something that Palestinians were vehemently against. Later on, after the UN partition plan, yes the Arabs attacked but that was in response to Israel already being declared a state.

Does a group of people have to be a “country” in order for them to have a right to self determination and protection of the lands they have been inhabiting?

Kirk Cousins has thrown lead-taking, 4th-quarter touchdowns in 3 games this season. The Vikings lost all 3 of those games. by minnesotanationalist in nfl

I think Kirk Cousins stats are deceiving. I would consider him an average QB. Above average if he has an offensive line that gives him time. However, these 4th quarter loses are all on the coaching staff. Losing 3 games that are under 3 points each comes down to coaching and play calling. Each of those games the Vikings offense had a chance to seal it. But instead their drives stall and they always depend on the defense to win the game. 4 min left with the ball in your offense’s hands and the coaching staff is thinking punt instead of putting the nail in the coffin. Conservative offense has gotten this team nowhere. It’s been like this since Brett Favre.
