Israel was created in 1948. But they built it on land where Palestinians already lived. They expelled 700,000 Palestinians. This is the Nakba.
For decades, state teaches that this land belongs only to Jews. Education system and media push this idea. This is radicalization. And it goes deep in the society.
Today, many Israeli politicians openly call for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and West Bank. This shows how deep the problem is. Society built on occupation and apartheid cannot be normal.
So it needs de-radicalization. It needs to accept rights of Palestinians. And it needs to face truth about stolen land.
