I used to hate Israel, I used hate Jews, I was taught that they came and took the land of Arabs/Muslims; they kicked them out of their homes. When I grew up and studied real history; I found out that Jews existed for thousands of years in that land, other Jews joined them from Europe and also form Arab countries, they bought homes and lands, and in a time where all new states were emerging (like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan) Jews wanted a state for them were they can feel safe. The untied nations proposed two states, Arabs rejected it, Jews accepted it and announced their state, Arabs declared war in 1948, they lost, yet they declared war in 1967 and lost one more time. They only got land back when they signed peace treaties with Israel. I learned that Israel always wanted peace but Arabs always chose war. It’s time to change all of that! We can’t live all our lives in war
