Yes. First terror acts came from the Arabs, like in 1921, 1928 and even before.
There were riots when Arabs started to figure out that the Jewish migrants wanted a takeover and weren't apart of happenstance immigration.
I believe the first acts of Jewish terrorism were during this time as well, although they were primarily against Jews whom were actively opposed to Zionism and not Arabs. Arabs had just too large of a percentage of the population for that to be an intelligent move at that time.
Some true, some not. If we go back in time to the late 1800's, the League of Nations report on the Balfour Declaration cites that at that time there were only a hand full of Jewish families, with over 95% of the population being Arab Muslims and Christians, with minorities of Greeks, Morrocans and Armenians.
So could I accept that Arab migrants worked for Jewish migrants? Sure, but prior to Zionism this was not the case.
On another note your family may have been one of the handful cited by the British in the 1800's.
Jews went on a land buying spree after the British sliced off Jordan. Before that they only had around 8%. By 1948 Jews owned 77% paid for by Jewish immigrants and the JNF. Arabs knew a war was coming and were expecting all the Jews to die and thus they would get back all the land and keep the money (thanks for that idea came from the Grand Mufti and Hitler). The Arab population thought they would hit the jackpot. They didn't know the British and French were arming the bordering countries and the real intent was for the Mandate to be carved up and no additional state to be created. Why do you think the UN didn't say a word when the territories were annexes by Egypt and Jordan.
If anyone actually reads the article let me know I would enjoy discussing the article with people who are willing to actually read it instead of the trolls just whining about it because it offends their propaganda filled lies.
I skimmed the article before my computer was infected from a virus from that link - thanks.
The article ignores the Arab attack on Israel immediately following the British exodus in 1948. Guess that was okay to omit. 1967 and the article forgot 1973, 7 day war, golan heights, 1972 Olympic murder of nearly a dozen Israeli citizens.
Isn't history fun when you write it while ignoring actual history?

What's your source? According to a Survey of Palestine prepared by the UN, Jews only owned 7% of the Land of the British Mandate as of 1947.
It's an interesting narrative regarding land purchases. I can support Zionists being Nazi collaborators with evidence, but other than that picture of Hitler with the Mufti, what evidence is there of anything actually happening between him and Hitler? I don't mean words, I mean agreements that were carried out.

Maybe it's time for you to re-evaluate where you are getting your history from. Here's some reading for you.
After years of Jews being a punching bag, they're going to hit back hard. Hit again and get a hit back harder. Hit them enough times, they will hit back enough times that the other person will need a long recovery time to start up again. Israel does not want a war, but they are not going to lay down each time they get hit and the BS referee (the UN) tells them not to hit back. Never Again means Never Again.
can someone from the left please explain to me how you can hate Israel but vehemently support Muslim nations who systematically kill gays, lesbians, women, jews, and christians?
When you have F-16's to tear in to hospitals, that is not needed.
When you vote for cowards that launch missiles into cities from the roofs of hospitals....what do you expect? Israel has been far too tolerant of these cowards and butchers who wage ware on peaceful men, women and children, and have done so for decades. Typical Muslim cowards, use women and children as human shields. Everyone has to feel for the people if Israel and what they have to live with every single day.
