1. In the 1880s, Zionists decided to carve a Jewish homeland out of Arab lands, displacing the inhabitants.
2. The inhabitants objected to this takeover, as they had a clear right to do so.
3. 700,000 of them wind up in refugee camps when said Jewish homeland is finally created over their objections.
4. More Palestinians wind up under occupation by the Zionists after 1967.
5. Israelis slowly strangle the rest of Palestine for the next 34 years.Try this:
1. Jews were already living there in 1880.
2. They started buying more land (from those who were glad to sell it.)
3. Most of the land was uninhabitable and was owned by the Ottoman Empire, who lost it to the Brits.
4. More Jews and more Arabs started immigrating to the area as Jewish funds developed it. Both sides wanted it.
5. So the UN split it into two pieces.
6. The Arabs attacked the Jews and got their butts kicked again and again.
7. They say they want statehood but everytime it's offered, they attack again.

That sums it up point by point but Architect won't listen.
