So you expected the locals to just rubber stamp their colonization instead of fighting it?

Most of the land the Jews got was a wasteland with much of it legally purchased from the Ottomans. Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism and is integral to Jewish culture and religion. Unlike Islam, in Judaism we pray towards Jerusalem and not to Mecca. It’s only a holy site because us, the Jews, made it a holy site. AND even with that being said we still respect Islam and allowed Palestinians to control Al-Aqsa even though it sits directly on the most holiest religious site for Jews. Would the Palestinians and arabs be so kind?
