Where do you think the Jewish terrorist organizations came from? Of course I wasn't talking about 1948. I linked an example from 1920.

The Haganah were a reaction to riots against Jews. The Irgun were a reaction to worse riots (1929 primarily) and the policy of restraint and defensive-action-only by Haganah.

Of course there was the underlying problem that the Jewish migration was substantial, and many of the migrants did have territorial ambitions. The Great Replacement Theory is a little less funny of a conspiracy theory when you note that the left wing in the U.S. has been crowing for years about how they were going to win in the long run because of demographic changes. The Dems are bringing in Haitians to replace us! The Jews are marching to Al-Asqa Mosque to take it from us!

Not really, not like that. But there's a grain of truth. Enough to rile up some violence if there's already a good deal of discontent.

As long as the Jews were a small portion of the population and not making any waves, they were easily tolerated. Relations were fine prior to Zionist immigration. There was some appetite to welcome new Jews as long as they abandoned any ideas of Zionism (and there weren't too many of them).

But there were too many of them.

At some point, one has to back off from re-litigating history and simply say: things happened that shouldn't and that shouldn't cause everyone to suffer now.
