  Hitler’s genocide is not the reason why Israel was created. In the early 1900’s zionists already was working on forcing a state on the local people

      In 1917 belfour assured zionists that they will have their state. A state that couldn’t been build without ethenic cleansing. It makes zero sense to compared israel which are presecuting palestinians to trans people who are getting persecuted.

      I believe the point they’re trying to make is that where the will to forge Israel came from the genocide of WWII, the idea for Israel and the Zionists pre-date WWII.
