British policy designed to placate Arabs.

You seem to be saying that formation of Israel is a crime against the Palestinian people perpetrated by European powers who were solely guilty of antisemitism.

Not exactly.

Zionism wasn’t created as a state policy (though later endorsed by one). It’s possible that Israel would have been founded w/o their participation.

Postwar Arab riots weren’t necessarily motivated by antisemitism, nor would I characterize dhimmi status as antisemitic, but
dhimmi, while tolerated, was a second-class citizen.

Point being, while Arab resistance was sometimes understandable, they aren’t the innocent bystanders you make them out to be.
