21. The blame lays primeraly on the Brits...

Who insisted on getting Palestine from the Ottoman empire as spoils of war after WW1, acting like gods when they unleashed the Zionists into areas inhabited by peasant farmers, and small towns people in 1947/48.

Then we can start looking at the motives of why the Zionists first committing ethnic cleansing, and collectively punishing the people they once stole their homes from making them all prisoners, or fish in a barrel...Then we can start looking at blame, and also the motives of why Palestinians are having this seemingly "irrational" hatred of Jews.

Put it simple: If it was Russians, or Brits, or French, or Americans, or Persians doing the same thing as what IDF and "Bibi" is doing now, the hatred would be directed at them.

And come to think of it, the vast majority of the Israeli citizens are immigrants or children of immigrants coming from...Europe, Russia, and America.

Hence, I consider what is happening in the historical Palestine, also called "Israel" an old fashion style WASP colonization, making decisions affecting millions of lives. Lives who apparently have no say with regards to their own future or lives whatsoever....
