      That’s just when the British and French took the land from the Ottomans. It didn’t formally become the ethnonationalist Zionist project until 1948.

      Although there were ancient varying Kingdoms of Israel in the Bronze and Iron ages in the Levant, they have basically nothing in common with the current settler colony other than the name.

      Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s my understanding that Israel wasn’t formally a state until 1948.
