    LaMalfa either has history backwards or is a z*onist supporter - the State of Israel today was created by the United Nations in 1947 by the division of the country of Palestine - Israel started their wars with their 'Nakba' war - Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem. Israel's first expulsion of Palestinians in 1947-49 (the Nakba) resulted in the significant depopulation of Palestine territory occupied by Israel, in which "about 90 percent of the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed – many by psychological warfare and /or military pressure and a large number at gunpoint." Netanyahu actually promoted and helped fund Hamas, to weaken the Palestinian Authority, to avoid peace and a fully recognized Palestinian nation state. It would have interfered with his colonization project. In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy.
