The Arabs have done a absolutely abysmal job of presenting their side of the story.
Personally , I think the way Israel was created was unethical.
Judea gets conquered by the Roman Empire, Puppet Herodic dynasty installed. Roman emperor orders the construction of pagan temples In Jerusalem to the roman god Jupiter , Jews break out into riots in reaction. Emperor Hadrian Aurelius gives a edict banning the practice of circumcision in the empire which breaks the last the straw with the Jewish people leading to open war, General Titus sacks Jerusalem and crushes rebel forces. Simon Bar Kokhba marshals a new Jewish rebel army to retake the promised land from Roman hands, Bar Kokhba is defeated and crucified. Hadrian abolishes the existence of Judea and redubs it "Palestinia" or Philistine, Jews are banned from entering Jerusalem.
New peoples settle into Palestine and establish a new post Judean society. Thousands of years later , The Jewish people suffer a holocaust with six million dead. Zionist Israeli nationalist move to wage a guerrilla war to force the establish of a Jewish state, Mandate is put in place. The Arabs are expelled from their lands and forced into refugee camps to make room for Jewish settlers.
Atrocities against Arabs are committed by Jewish militias like Irgun, Who hurl hand grenades into crowds of Arabs in the market places in towns like Haifa.Irgun/Lehi also bombed the King David Hotel in 1946 which was being used as the headquarters of the British mandate which resulted in the death of 91 people ,46 of which were British. Then the same Jewish militias massacred a arab village called Deir Yassin killing 107-120.
There has been many facts not omitted about Israel I have only skimmed the surface.
Its true that Arabs have not helped there own cause by having bloody reprisals and blackening themselves with their own gruesome acts.
