No, they’re truly not. Zionists at their very core were open and vocal about their intentions of COLONIZING the region. The Palestinians already lived there, the Arab Jews already lived there, and they had Jerusalem largely for themselves at the time. Zionists ruined any chance of lasting peace in the region due to a white ethno-nationalist uprising with the ideal that they somehow deserved to own the land, despite its supporters being European Jews with no genetic links to the land anymore. The Arabs and the Arab Jews were actually there for the long haul, and every strong Zionist move…  Read morement in the area ALWAYS came from outside. Ever wondered why Zionism happened? Because Europe didn’t want the Jews. They hated them, they didn’t fight to save them in world war 2, they fought for their own self interest. The Zionist movement gained ground BECAUSE of the British, BECAUSE they wanted to move Jews out of their land and into someone else’s no matter the humanitarian cost. The first leaders and prime ministers of Israel were recognized internationally and almost unanimously by influential Jewish figures as Nazis, from Albert Einstein to pro-Jewish rights groups. The Palestinians are responding to the incursion by the same means the Israeli settler entity has used upon them, including back when Palestinians DID use democratic methods to try and gain freedom, even when they DID try to act like Gandhi. One side is truly wrong, while the other side does wrong things because it’s been backed into a corner.
