I see the article confirms Arabs were the aggressors and mounted a number of pogroms against Jews and Jews were afterward arrested by the British for self-defense. Then Jewish immigration was suspended. Just as it was everywhere beginning in the 1920's. If it hadn't been, there would not have been a holocaust - but then Israel would have had even more Jews. And of course, they didn't have the right to save themselves by driving another people from their land.Specifically, that the early terrorist organizations were the future leaders of Zionist Israel, that the first terrorist bombing was by Zionist terrorists at the King David Hotel, that there were several large massacres of innocent Palestinians in the refugee camps, and that the Arabs who were living peacefully in Palestine had their lands and property stolen from them, and were shunted into refugee camps.</iYou also seem to believe that even though there are plenty of places for Jews to live now without discrimination or danger, they are still entitled to Israel. All of your protestations about Arabs killing Jews and strife between Arabs and the early Zionists are true, but they are the same sort of thing as Native Americans uprising against the invading white man. It is perfectly normal to defend your way of life and your property. The invaders--the Zionists in Israel and the colonials, settlers and pioneers in America--came violently, and it is not unexpected that there would be a violent reaction. That does not make one a savage.
