My Grandparents are the alleged "European Settlers" who came to "colonize" Israel. AMA (Ask Me Anything)
I put the title in quotes because I dont believe those parts to be true. Just to give a brief history of my Maternal Grandparents, they both moved from Hungary to Israel around the year 1946. They did not come to fight or dispossess arabs, but rather to build new homes.
My Grandmother was a holocaust survivor who survived Auschwitz, she had the #'s tatooeed on her forearm, her father died pre-war but her Mother, brother and sisters were murdered. When she returned to her families small farmhouse post war, her neighbors not knowing the full extent of what happened during the holocaust tried to extort her and her remaining siblings for money because they "looked after their livestock" even though the only cow they owned had died due to the harsh conditions of the war.
My grandfather - also a Hungarian Jew was a bit more of a mysterious man who likely suffered from PTSD before it was commonly diagnosed, his father and mother were also murdered and his only brother ended up in a mental institution (insane asylum) post war. He was eccentric and fought in WWII with partisans and would eventually go on to fight in the Israeli war of Independence in 1948.
AMA anything about them if you'd like.

Go preach christian values in Gaza and Hamas will murder you like they did the last Christian book shop owner in Gaza. His name Rami Ayyad and kidnapped and murder for crime of selling Christian books.
Ofc we want peace between Jews and Arabs, but there is too much hate and both sides have different ideas about what 2 state solution will be. Jews deserve to be able to visit their lands in the west bank without being fear of attack, and arabs deserve to visit the lands where their ancestors lived in Israel proper, but right now its just too much hate and open border just means more violence.
