You forgot the parts with Ottoman and Roman colonialism. Or where the neighboring states ganged up on Israel and got their asses handed to them, then wouldn’t take back Gaza in peace talks because they hated the Palestinians so much that they wanted to make it an Israel problem. Also, your 700k estimate is on the high end. A bunch of villages with absolutely failed governments with no collective leadership were treating people like shit as Islamic law permits. The Jews came in and had them go live on a beautiful beach city instead while they made a modern country. The beautiful beach city turned to shit because of Islamic law and customs. They could have thrived, but too many of them chose violence.
