Who worked to create Israel after wwll did not want to establish it there. The Christians worked to put it there. They thought it would bring christ 2nd coming. Both sides of this conflict are not innocent. I read somewhere that the dna of the jews and the palestinians are the same the only thing that is between them is the religions. The timing of this outburst is suspicious and who is really benefiting from this? My best guess is Putin. Jimmy Carter’s book, Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is an excellent source and would highly recommend reading it.
