Super horrendous violence and slaughter and concentration camps (learnt from us Brits in the South Africa War) by the 'Christian' Nazis in the 1930s and 40s soon led to the victims having learnt too well from us 'Christian' nations. Thus, their three terrorist gangs from '45 to '48 soon saw off the British Empire. We were only too glad to leave it to the UN to sort out the ensuing mess over eight decades of war and hatred and retaliation.
Revenge upon revenge upon revenge has continued for 77 years - so far.
Only 'I Shall Not Hate' (the name of the excellent book by a Palestinian medical doctor and world authority on infertility) and non-violence is ultimately successful, if we all understand that it is better to be killed than to kill.
The tragic account of the first massacres and wars in this corner of the Middle East is recorded in the Old Testament. It is the story of the People of Israel who were the first to accept the One True God (Yahweh) whom they worshipped and followed. They sincerely believed that their God was leading them into the Promised Land for them alone to occupy by coercion, force and violence. Yahweh, they were convinced, gave them the green light to start, 3,200 years ago, the killing fields of the unHoly Land that has been seen more recently in the last 125 years, in particular. I understand it was called Palestine (from Philistine?) since the Roman occupation.
