Mdd, why did the arabs almost never bother the old yishuv, for centuries?
Because they weren’t militant and secular.
The Arabs didn’t “start” it; foreigners came to their area and looked as though they were going to take over. The chalutzim started it.
It’s not “lefty” historians, it’s literally the government archives on their website, when they released information that was previously kept classified.
The only ones who hold fast to the “Israelis were right and innocent” stance are the far right, ben gvir types. Even religious zionsits like aaron Lichtenstein’s chevra admit to zionist atrocities
Why are you surprised that a group which killed its own, as in the altalina, and were said by rav chaim to he rotzchim in the 1910, would kill goyim unjustly? Why jump to defend them?
