In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

it’s commemoration of a rejection of the UN partition plan and UN mediated conservatorship.
Threading the needle between "we want to eradicate you," and "we don't like being eradicated."
America brain moment
This Amerikkka moment, brought to you by the UKKK
Americans have a tendency to think that meeting in the middle of two right-wing parties is so thoughtful and considerate of everyone's struggles, so I expect nothing less from the America brain mindset.
Also, happy cake day!
Modern Israel is a country that's founded by terrorism against the British that somehow managed to be not-based.
To be fair, there's at least two of those.
sort of wild that most amerikkkan history treats 'tarring and feathering' like it was a prank
like ha ha bro we got you bro you look like a chicken bro
but also enjoy the third degree burns from hot tar all over your body that might kill you
The British were on board since the begging.
This is that Israeli org whose main thing is liking the apartheid but thinking that maybe genocide is a step too far because some Israelis might accidentally get killed because of it right?
"yesterday was Hitler's birthday, tomorrow is the start of Passover, reflecting the opposing narratives of 1939."
How did they do their "independence". Independence from what?
"Acknowledgement of eachother's narratives yadda yadda" is some really disingenuous shit. It is always selectively applied. None of these ghouls are talking about acknowledging the narratives of any enemies of the empire. It is just now that many people are beginning to sympathise with an oppressed and colonised people that it is suddenly important to "acknowledge the narrative" of the oppressors.
And even if it were being applied consistently it is a dumbas idea. All narratives are not equal, sometimes one narrative is true while another is a lie, one is a call for justice while another is an excuse for genocide.
A positive peace in Palestine, for all ethnic and religious groups, begins with the acknowledgement of history. Treating the perpetrators as morally equals to their victims is only going to delay the necessary reckoning with the Lebensraum ideology of Zionism.
But but but but cant everyone just get along?
What’s the German equivalent to this?
Look the holocaust was wrong... but those Romani were no angels.
Average European
Narratives acknowledged.
Now can we actually do something about the one based in reality?
