And this also exposes the falsehood behind your question of why Zionists "displaced" Palestinians. If you don't consider purchasing land to be legal and ethical acquisition, then I don't know what to tell you. This is not what colonial displacement looks like.
Finally, as for why they were immigrating there, why not ask yourself what was happening to Jews throughout the world from 1915 up through the 1940s.
Why would the founders of Zionism engage in "ahistorical propaganda" against themselves?
Zionism is one of the most brutal examples of colonialism ever, and the founders of Zionism don't disagree. Zionists are equivalent to Nazis in their treatment of the "other" and their belief in a pure ethnostate, the consequences of these beliefs are exactly the same. And young people are finally waking up to this.
Shame on you, you zionist pig.
Before that, of course, they colonized Palestine under the shield of the British empire.
An easier way to disarm this argument is: Why did the Zionists come and displace the Palestinians? And who would respond peacefully if you try to displace them?
