Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Century-long is what was written. Not centuries-long. So we only need go back to 1923 or earlier, and we know this started around then.

No see it's not literally exactly 100 years or greater so you can't use a world like century long because that would be inaccurate. I'm going to ignore literally everything else about the post and just focus on the fact that you used one slightly exaggerated word instead because I have no other leg to stand on smuglord

there was also Zionist activity in Palestine for decades before Israeli independence. Saying a century is completely accurate
