... by the number of young people who think the Israeli Jews invaded a country called "Palestine" and took the land by Force from the peaceful people living there. I shit you not. They know literally nothing about the history of that region, the politics of the Palestinian Mslims prior to the 47-48 war, the explusion of Jews from Arab countries (or the history of Pogroms in Europe, for that matter) or the persistent existential threats to Jews in the region. They believe some faked up bullshit about the Jews being the uncontested aggressors.
