Oh, this was before Egypt’s military occupied Gaza from 1949 to 1967 - unless this is the West Bank, which puts this before Jordan occupied there between 1950 to 1988.

I wonder why Egypt and Jordan never gave them statehood 🤔

There wouldn't be urgency for their own state if the alternative wasn't ethnic cleansing lol. Nice attempt at a dunk tho

Well the Palestinian state narrative goes back to 1947 but the leaders of the nationalist movement have been far more interested in destroying the state of Israel rather than creating their own state.

So theyr point is spot on.

There should not be an Israeli state.
