Increasingly, mainstream Democrats have sought to carve out a space for “acceptable” Zionism by saying that they support Israel but oppose Bibi Netanyahu. But the horrors of Gaza are a result of processes far more vast than one right-wing leader.
You forgot about the Crusades. When the islamists invaded the region and the catholic church counter invaded.
It has very much been one of the conflict hotbeds in the world. Like the Balkans, Armenia, Somalia.
The little secret that the Zionists and Islamists would like to forget, is that there are almost no generic differences between Modern Israelis and Palestinians. They come from the same people, from before the Islamic, Catholic and Zionist conquests.
So when I demonstrate knowledge that does not support your views, your response is to dismiss it?
Are you simply unwilling to engage and provide the necessary information to be convincing, or are you simply falling back on projecting your own ignorance on me?
You have not, in fact, demonstrated any such knowledge, only tells you don’t really understand what you’re talking about. For starters, that’s not what the word “Islamist” means (Islamism refers to the modern political movement), and second there were a full four centuries between the Muslim conquest of Palestine and the first crusade. Four centuries between major conflicts isn’t what I’d call “a conflict hotbed.” Like, seriously just go hit Wikipedia, type “history of Palestine” and see the massive gaps between the conflicts you’re talking about. You also keep bringing up Islamism in completely irrelevant contexts.
Not taking sides here, but here is a great animated history map of the region (although whether the"Kingdom of Israel" existed as a united entity as down on this map is debated).

Okay I’ll be frank: You lack too much information about Middle Eastern history, politics and culture to be having this conversation.
