He’s partially correct, imo when the Zionist movement was growing (early 1900s) a large part of the colonist nations were quite content with having Jewish people leave their countries for Palestine without caring about what the results may be. Because they were absolutely antisemites.
This emigration was supercharged in the 30s, because of obvious reasons.
Then in 48 it was declared a state. Probably to try and wash their hands from their own behaviour in regards to Jewish people when it became public how fucked up the Nazis had treated them.
Jewish emigration had already started, and they were equally racist, so who gave a shit if Muslims lost their land.
Guess you could call it a co-op. Zionist wanted land, racists and antisemites wanted them out
