    That’s not accurate. Almost at all. Zionism started long before WWII and there wasn’t pronounced conflict with Arabs until political Zionism took hold and the Irgun began their terrorist campaign against Arabs and the British. That’s why the British left. They didn’t want to start a war against Jews right after the holocaust. But not for some great humanitarian reason, they just didn’t want the bad press as their empire was falling to pieces.

      Which part is is inaccurate?

      The conflict I am referring to in the second sentence is Haganah or Irgun’s bombing of the british embassy. To go into more detail, the same group of people that were assisting to bring Jews to Israel was also behind an attack on the British Embassy.

        You literally don’t mention Irgun or their war against the British. You said that inter-ethnic strife was the cause of Britain abandoning the region. Everything you said was wrong, misleading, or omitted crucial details.

          Yes, I did not fully explain all the context of the situation. I did so intentionally as I was providing a high level overview. Omitting details does not make me wrong.
