1. The Farhud pogrom/expulsion happened in 1941. That was before there was a Partition Resolution. Before Israel. Before any war. Before and land taking. Before any refugees.

2. That means that the core (but not all) of Arab hostility to the Jews is Arab/Muslim antisemitism.

3. Farhud was caused by the Mufti. The same Mufti who helped to create the Palestinian people that has been ruled for most of its existence by his ideological descendants.

4. Which is why even though something like Farhud would not be guranteed by the creation of a single state, it is so overwhelmingly likely to happen that the Israelis would have to be crazy or dead to allow it.

5. Most of your readers here already understand this.

6. It's just that the one staters and the BDS'ers don't care.
