If you're going to quote history, try quoting all of it not just the parts that suit your story.

Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, and expeditionary forces from Iraq entered Palestine.[16][17][18][19] The invading forces took control of the Arab areas and immediately attacked Israeli forces and several Jewish settlements.[

Israel after the war had a significant interest in controlling access to the golan heights which was the pass used by those armies and passage was allowed by Palestine.

I don't know about you but if my neighbor is allowing people to walk into my yard and start a fight with me, I'm going to have a problem and want to have a controlled access solution.

And no, I'm not interested in further conversations with you specifically because I don't believe you're making good faith arguments. I believe that you're jumping on to at best a "fuck Israel" bandwagon and at worst a "fuck Jews" bandwagon that's all too common these days.

If anyone else is interested in discussing we can start with my stance, I am a Jew and I abhore the actions being taken in Israel and Palestine today. I wish for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and a solution that allows for a lasting peace where neither country is concerned with land based invasions.

That says nothing of the displacement of the people there.

I'm a Jew as well but very far from a Zionist. Fuck Israel indeed. My ancestors weep at what Zionists are doing and trying to associate that with "Jewishness".
