Listen to this episode of Code Switch on NPR on James Baldwin’s take on Israel. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510312/codeswitch

He describes the formation of Israel as penance by the west for the Holocaust, but at the expense of the Palestinians. He described the creation of Israel as murderous, ugly and cynical - uncomfortable and inconvenient truths.

Baldwin was right about Israel. The founding Zionists collaborated with the nazis and abandoned the Jews in the ghettos. They didn't save jews, they saved Jewish wealth.
