Prof. John Mearsheimer does a 53min video on "Why Hamas Really Attacked Israel on Oct. 7" | But the gem of this video is the professor going over how few Jews were in Palestine at various times and how little land they owned. These facts help set the stage for today's land thefts by Israel.

I love pulling out this map from the official UN assessment prior to partition. This was after half a century of Zionist groups actively pushing immigration and some refugees from Europe already arriving.

The Nakba was a hell of a thing.
