"The Arabs realized that the Jewish community, due to their lower numbers, was vulnerable to attrition and less able to take casualties. Therefore, they adopted a "war of attrition" tactic which was advantageous to the more numerous Arab community.[36]"
"For instance, in April 1920 about 216 Jews became casualties (killed or wounded) during a single day in Jerusalem. By May 1921, the casualty rate for Jews was approaching 40 per day and in August 1929 it had risen to 80 per day"

Only focusing on 1948 means one condones the attempted genocide that occurred. There will only be peace once the palestinian people and those that support them acknowledge that they attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing.
I'm not going to justify Israel's actions, even though I do think they are justified, though I can understand why others might disagree. I will however strongly argue that those that focus on what they call the Nakba without any acknowledgment of the attempted genocide that preceded it are people who have no problem with genociding and ethnically cleansing jews.
It’s a war of terror. Full stop.
Also those rockets barely do damage. “Countless dead” is hyperbole. And destroying hospitals, bombing civilians, and murdering journalists doesn’t stop the rockets.
Miss me with your Hasbara talking points, thanks.
Another poster asked a question: Would you prefer that they dont call? I reject this frame of reference all-together as a valid one. So far, 10k people as per UN data ~70% of them children (and there are innocent men as well, which puts as per UN estimate >90% of casualties as pure non-combatants) and women have been massacred in openly admitted and self-proclaimed extermination process, and they received no such call. Nay, they actually are actively being starved and do not even have electricity for weeks now to even being able to take the call.
Therefore, if such call is made or are made, they are exception. Most people did not receive it before being murdered. Hence, its nature is not humanitarian but the contrary, calculated terror. Any sane human not consumed by ethnic or racial hatred (for which I have not need to comment) cannot accept this argument as moral. That BBC runs this an a tone and implied morals is despicable.
