    You know, all the conflicts, except the one where an exiting, invasive power, gave massive amounts of their land, to a foreign group of people, who began locking the locals out of as much of the government, and economic, structure as possible. Then started a long string of agreeing to what ethnic group gets what, then forcing them out as the foreigners wanted more land.

    The British could have not just given away the land, that other people had occupied for thousands of years, to Europeans they wanted to move somewhere else, because they were in the process of dumping the colony anyways. The European Jews could have realized they were simply replacing an invading power. Decided to work on developing business with the local population, instead of leaning into zionist nationalism, claiming because ancestors, thousands of years ago, once lived there, they were owed it. They decided to take, instead of cooperate. This is the root of this conflict.
