@Witch_Hunter_Siegfried Israel was founded as a socialist state.
You can see here (1st pic related) when in 1985 they went into hyper inflation, and abandoned the socialist economic model.
This significantly changed their GDP's trend.
PS:
David Ben-Gurion is a notorious savage, when it comes to political and military strategy. (2nd pic related)
A man so evil, even Israel's supreme court ruled against him, and established some degree of freedom of speech in Israel, after Ben-Gurion tried to use his powers to shut down a newspaper that was critical of him.
He was such a heinous kike, other kikes told him to slow down.
Inconceivable!
@LivingSpaceStudios @Witch_Hunter_Siegfried Some of that is correct, but "Palestinian government"?
The territory was under the control of the British mandate.
Palestinians as a people are not referenced until the 50's, and was likely a ploy to push Israel into the western block, as they were getting too close to the soviets.
This is supported by Yasser Arafat having had ties to the CIA, and the fact that Arabic doesn't have the sound "P"... which is frankly laughable.
The name was likely chosen to gain some legitimacy via historical sources.
Specifically the term "Philistine" used by the Romans to describe the people of ancient Israel.
You're right about the terrorism, which started even before the British mandate, under the Turkish rule, but when into overdrive towards the end of the British mandate, with the Wall and Tower tactic.
