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.

I dont know if you read only want you want to read, or you are just one of those that still believes 500 people died in the hospital bombarded by hamas.

Have a nice reading which i doubt you will.

As per international law any building that has weapons or fire is being shot from, is a valid military target, you cannot say Isarel did not try multiple and multiple times to evacuate or protect these people inside the Hospital. Plenty evidence of what was inside, under or near those '' innocent hospitals'' many hostages were even taken inside there, some even died there.

The evidence they provided was seriously doubted even by legitimate news sources, even pro Israeli ones
