He's literally the reason all this is happening

There is not just one man behind this, despite how convenient this would be.

Agreed its not one man. It's zionism

I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn't want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn't want a 'state'. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with. It's the dominant Israeli Zionism that's horrible.

It's a lot easier to say 'Zionist' though. Just thought I'd share in case you weren't aware.

In the link I provided above it says something very similar:

While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.

Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. [...]

Apart from that when you say There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with I must inform you that this is not the case.

He's not the only man on the ship but he's the one at the helm.
