Let’s start at the beginning I guess.
Are the Palestines responsible for the Jews not being on their land or their own god?

Because of how they've reported to treat mizrahi jews and ethiopian jews. The askenazi jews which run Israel are european jews.

The obvious start time would be the 1880s when European and Russian Jews began fleeing from their home countries due to European antisemitism. Prior to the influx of foreign Jewish settlers, the Arab Jewish minority lived along side Muslim and Christian Arabs in relative peace. Only when the Jewish settlers began displacing the indigenous population did tensions rise high enough for pogroms to happen against them.
To imply anti-Judaism is just inherit in Arabs and Muslims is racist. Before the formation of Israel, Jews lived all over the ME alongside Muslims and Christians.
Avi Shlaim is a Baghdadi Jew. I haven't seen the full interview, but he always talks about growing up in Iraq and being treated as just another minority population who got along with their neighbors. It was the formation of Israel, and the terrorism against Jews that followed, that forced his family to flee their home. Later on he discovered it was Zionists themselves who were responsible for the massacres and synagogue bombings in order to scare the Jewish population of the ME into fleeing to Israel to bolster their numbers.
Zionism is at the root of problem. You can't ignore the cause and effect of colonialism.

Man, I randomly check CNN once a week or so, and since the conflict started it's been crazy how pro-Israel the coverage is. I would have "guessed" that was the bias, but it's something to see it with your own eyes. Like damn near every time I look, the biggest headline I see is something with a pro-Israel slant.
Not necessarily posting misinformation (I don't have enough info myself to know what is misinformation and what is not), but just unashamedly choosing the pro-Israel narratives over and over again. Like it was almost December and they were still posting "new footage!" of the initial Hamas attack rather than covering the 1,500% higher number of Palestinians that had been killed.
I finally thought of posting it yesterday, when the top headline was finally something from the Palestinian side for the first time I'd seen (something about dead babies being found in a bombed-out hospital).
Then I refreshed the page, and now the top headline was about Ivy League presidents being anti-semitic.

Very different than the tenor of this thread.

I don’t think any administration is going to allow Israel to be wiped out

It is the first time the Biden administration has declared an emergency to expedite arms shipments to the Middle East, which are controversial because of the civilian death toll from Israeli airstrikes.
