Now, this geopolitical idea borrowed from all of these particular concepts. And if you read the writings of Theodor Herzl and a lot of the people involved in this, They were all bright eyed about the idea that like, oh, this is going to be a colonial takeover of Palestine. You have to remove the indigenous population for this to happen because there's no way they're going to give it to me.
And there were certain ways they tried to do it. They tried to do it peacefully. One way they said was, well, first of all, let's go talk to Britain. Because remember, the British Empire actually drew the partition. The British Empire is the one that drew the line between Israel and Palestine because, remember, it used to belong to them.

Another idea that the Zionists had was, yo, let's go talk to the Turkish Empire, right? Because remember, the Ottomans were there before the British. And they was like, okay, so if you let us be a government, how about we pay all the debts? Well, what if we pay y'all's debts?

They were trying with, matter of fact, Israel, the location wasn't even their first choice because they was like, this is a little too complicated. They thought about going to Africa. They looked at a couple of different places as to where to land this geopolitical idea of Zionism. I'm telling this out of order. Let me back up.

So the idea that like, it's just a myth that the Zionists were not aware of the Palestinian Arab population. They were well aware of it. But the question is, What to do with that information? Because, yeah, as Jewish as Herzl was, he's also a European. So that like he saw the Arabs as barbaric, like that they were. I mean, it's just there's no other way around it.

they were well aware that you are going to have to displace people to build a nation like this. So that was not... They knew, right? Now, again, I'm talking about the geopolitical idea of Zionism. But their idea was like, surely y'all can see that we're not a big empire. We're not here. We're just looking for a place to be. And since we're from here anyway, this shouldn't be... A problem.

So, yeah. So like I said, Herzl went to the went to the British. He went to the Ottoman Empire and he asked them like, yo, can we just go settle? Keep in mind is like European Jews had been moving to Tel Aviv for a while. You know, they actually formed the city of Tel Aviv. Those were Jewish settlers from Israel that's formed the city of Tel Aviv. This is well before Israel became a state.

So they had already been moving. Now they were just like, we just need legitimacy. So how about we buy it from the Ottomans? And the emperor of the Ottoman Empire was like, bro, I can't sell you land. It belongs to the people. And they fought to conquer this place. I'm not even finna just... Just sell it to you.
