Israelis because they demanded an ethnostate and Palestinians because they had been forced off their land that was now supposedly going to be called “israel”
The commenter above even mentions a Jewish majority in Jerusalem. I don’t know the validity of it, but this is evidence of the fact that British Palestine, before being subjected to colonial invasion, was a multicultural society with different religions living within the territory just fine. The destabilization came from zionists moving in with the explicit, stated purpose of killing Palestinians to make room for more Jewish settlers in order to entrench an ethnic Jewish majority in their occupied territory.
The only reason this is an issue is because zionists openly proclaimed they were not willing to live in community with the native population of the land they were trying to colonize. Nobody opposed jews in Israel until zionists showed up committing genocide.
