Do you think the region of Palestine and Arabs/Jews were created in 1948?

This isn't a conflict that was going on in the Ottoman period. This is a recent conflict and this attempt to turn it into a thousands year old religious war is bullshit. This is a colonial project where the goal is to take land. Very material in nature. That project has been in place since 1948.

The region of Israel was created in 1948 by stealing Palestinian land to give to white European Jews. It's not a religious conflict, it's European colonialism
