    Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire at the time. Israel did not exist.

    From what I can gather online there was a peasant revolt, but nothing sectarian about it. The Ottomans pillaged the villages during and after the revolt.

        The problem with this opinion is that it’s not based on fact: the Zionist movement originated in Europe as a result of pogroms there, not in the Middle East.

          The problem with that opinion is it’s not hard based on fact, the families that fled often ended up in Europe. StillSome of which were later displaced again by pograms in Europe.

          It’s literally in the history of Zionism written by avowed Zionists. You might as well argue with water about how wet it may or may not be.
