5. Before WWII there was only a very small minority of Jews in Palestine.

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population.

After WWII there was a huge wave of Jewish immigrants from Europe. Who can blame them? Then, after the US recognized Israel, the Nakba happened in 1948.

The Nakba (Arabic: النكبة, romanized: an-Nakbah, lit. 'the catastrophe') was the violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinians, along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations. The term is used to describe the events of 1948, as well as the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians throughout the region, including the occupation of the Palestinian territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip).

The beginning of the Nakba took place during and shortly after the 1948 Palestine war, during which 78% of Mandatory Palestine was declared as Israel. These beginnings include the expulsion and flight of more than 700,000 Palestinians (about half of prewar Mandatory Palestine's Arab population), the related depopulation and destruction of over 500 Palestinian villages by Zionist militias and, later, by the Israeli army along with the subsequent geographical erasure represented by Hebraization of Palestinian place names. The Nakba covers the denial of the Palestinian right of return, the creation of permanent Palestinian refugees, and the "shattering of Palestinian society"

Jewish settlers in the West Bank have been taking over land and homes illegally ever since. Israelis are allowed to own guns, but Palestinians aren't, and often Jewish settlers will simply walk into a Palestinian home and kick the family out. Israeli police and courts ignore the complaints of Palestinians.
