    That’s not remotely a reliable source. I’m no fan of European colonies in the middle east either, but any source that uses the word “Jewry” in the first sentence raises some eyebrows. This article also dances around the persistent anti-Semitic trope that a global Jewish conspiracy exists and does little to mention the (mostly) leftist Jewish Diaspora or the enthusiastic Yiddish speakers in the red army. It seems to collapse all Jewish people into the category of Zionist even while acknowledging internally that there many languages, cultures, and politics involved.

    I am also fully aware of how horrible the nakba was, so I’m not apologizing for the atrocities committed by the state of Israel then or now.

    This source also provides 0 references and the author is someone who calls themselves “Comrade Katsfoter”.

    Personally, I like my history sources to be vetted by peers and published in journals or books written by authors who are vetted by their peers via similar processes. You can and should do better than this.
