There's a great project led by a youtuber called Corey Gil-Shuster. This guy walks around the west bank and ask random people about the conflict. I think it sums up a lot of the public opinion in the palestinian territories about the conflict. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbPK7NnPRUk&ab_channel=Corey...

Rather a short reading of history.
History could have tipped entirely differently had Yitzhak lived.
Of course none of the present-day Israelis are responsible for that. They are responsible for retreating into a sanitized, mythological narrative about the founding of their state, however.
> Historically, Palestinians rejected all compromise attempts to end the conflict and get their state. that's the only reason why there's no palestinian country.
Since then, Palestinians have already twice declared their acceptance of a two-state solution in the 1976 borders and declared a state in those borders. It does not explain why Israel and the US kept blocking a state even within those borders. (Meanwhile you can read in Likud's founding charter that the party always fundamentally rejected any kind of Palestinian state as their official policy - a policy that Israel now enacts increasingly openly)
The palestinians who lived in what is Israel today were considered Ottoman, the term "Palestinian" was simply used to name people who live in that strip of land, rather than an actual nationality. Jews who immigrated to Israel from Europe became "Palestinians".
After the palestinians rejected the partition plan, and war broke out - they lost many of their villages. People who fled later claimed they were expelled for various reasons. Arabs who stayed put and didn't flee became full citizens
That's the whole story
What did Israel compromise on? They have settler colonies in the west bank, they control everything that goes in and out of Gaza, they built a wall around Gaza, etc.
It all starts from the initial division of the land that led to the creation of Israel. To me that division makes no sense because the area is not proportial to the population and because of the very nature of the split it created. Instead of offering Palestinians a contiguous division of land, it offered them two disconnected pieces of land with Israel right in the middle. That makes no sense.
As for your video, I don't know what you're trying to stay or do by sharing it. No matter whether you like Pelstinians or not, they have rights especially so under apartheid, settler colonialism and genocide.
Here's for you an example video showing israelis:

It doesn't look good.
They did have Jewish settlements in Gaza that they forcibly removed. They gave the Sinai back to Egypt, etc.
No land was stolen. Up until 1948 all lands inhabited by jews were purchased from their legal owners - I challenge you - please show me a case where palestinians had their land "stolen" pre-1948.
Also note, from the same page:
> The purchase of land was often accompanied by the eviction of the Arab tenants.
> When it came to the national aspirations of the Zionist movement, the Ottoman Empire opposed the idea of Jewish self-rule in Palestine, fearing it might lose control of Palestine after recently having lost other territories to various European powers.
> In 1881 the Ottoman governmental administration (the Sublime Porte) decreed that foreign Jews could immigrate to and settle anywhere within the Ottoman Empire, except in Palestine and from 1882 until their defeat in 1918, the Ottomans continuously restricted Jewish immigration and land purchases in Palestine.
Can we agree now that no land was stolen? It was purchased from their rightful owners and then, according to Ilan Pappe, ( the one whose book is cited claiming Arab tenants were evicted) who is a known anti Zionist, and hardly an impartial investigator, "often" Arab tenants were evicted.
This is a claim, not an evidence
The same for Syrians in Turkey, they don't have a proper refugee status and have instead a secondary status that gives them fewer rights.
Here's some food for thought from me as well: why does anything that goes in and out of Gaza go through israel? Why don't other countries recognize the state of Palestine? Wouldn't that be a good step towards a two-state solution? (Even though I don't believe that would work, at least not without justice for the Palestinians).
