The Zionist movement is older than world war 2. It has always been a product of European colonialism as well as racism.

I can't speak to the rights of subjects under the Ottoman empire, and indeed the residents in the area were shipped off to trenches in WW1, but Jews and Muslims and Christians all lived in the area before the Zion movement.

Yes...

Before England made a religious ethnostate, people of all religions coexisted in the land that is now called Israel.

Separating people based on race/religion/sexuality/whatever just makes violence between the groups more likely.

It would be like an American Senator trying to prevent school busing in the 1960s...

Integration is how we solve bigotry, not "separate but equal".
