46. "Jews didn't come as foreign conquerors."
I didn't say they did. What I said was, "These are indigenous people whose land was taken from them by a foreign conqueror and given to other foreigners who are trying to push them off it." The foreign conquerors in question were the British. The "other foreigners" are the Jews.

As for killing yourself and innocent people, you have no idea what you'd do if you and everyone you know were being oppressed by an alien people and had been since you were born in a refugee camp. It's cheap and easy to assert your moral superiority in hypotheticals.
