This does not validate the violence in Israel.
But the violence was a reaction to violence. Like an endless circle.

The trouble with this meme is the state before Israel was the British Empire not a Muslim Palestinian state.

So really I have a bigger claim to the land than either side.

It wasn't British until they stole after WW1.

It was the Palestine territory under the Ottoman empire.

It was Syria under the Ottoman Empire. The British divided up Syria into four pieces to better subjugate them.
