    Nobody said that the state of Israel has been around for 1,000 years, they’re saying conflict over the land of Israel (Southern Levant) has existed for 1,000 years. Actually, it’s more like 3,000 years.

    If your chronology of events here starts in 1948, you’re omitting a shitload of context as to why rights over this region are so contested.

      Oh ok so this conflict started 1000 years ago?

      You telling me no one contested that land before that? What year did this conflict start oh wise one? But remember if it’s a lot more than 1000 years or a lot less than this post is still misinformation 😘

      What a silly take.

        Yes, this land was contested for hundreds of years before the Nakba. It has been home to Jews and Arabs, with both groups in opposition to each other for a very long time.

        If you think that today’s conflict is unique and unrelated to the history of this region, you’re not against misinformation, you are against learning anything that might challenge your overly simplistic anti-Zionist views.
