Didn't stop them from executing the Nakba against the inhabitants of Palestine already in 1948[0].

On top of that, the irony of poisoning the water supply is thick, since Jews had been accused of poisoning wells for hundreds of years at that point[1].

> Not the same people

(Not) funny fact: statements "not the same people" and "the same people" are considered both true at the same time.

What are these, alternative facts? Pray tell us who lived in Palestine before the British seized control and declared their intention to establish a Jewish homeland. Europeans persecuted Jews for centuries and finally decided to deal with the Jewish question by displacing Arabs.

The overwhelming majority of Palestinian Arabs were displaced before the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The Nakba was not a reaction to the invasion.
