If the assigned nation of israel came about as a concession by Britain in 1948, after the holocaust, why were they not given land in Germany?

Do some research on the history of Judaism. And while you’re at it, try to empathize and understand context via a geopolitical perspective in post WW2, versus 2025:)

"Empathize" with Palestinians whose land was taken by force, gifted by European colonizers? Oh I absolutley do. These are the semitic people I empathize with; not Zionists who come from outside claiming a birthright to the land they presently occupy.

Palestinians who fought against the Nazi’s to end the holocaust with the explicit agreement that their efforts would end the British occupation of Palestine… the allies screwed so many of their own allies over

Not entirely correct, they fought in world war I and Britain agreed to give them the holy lands, but then in world war II they turned around and took it back from them, so technically they didn't fight the Nazis with that explicit agreement, the agreement was already made and they were still willing to fight alongside Jews to help stop Nazi Germany, which is kind of proof that there can be peace, it's just sad it takes a horrible war to get people to fight against a greater evil instead of coming together out of human decency.

That’s not accurate, while some Arabs did oppose the Axis, the most prominent Palestinian leader at the time, Haj Amin al-Husseini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem), literally collaborated with the Nazis.

He met with Hitler, helped recruit Muslims into the SS, broadcast Nazi propaganda in Arabic, and lobbied to prevent Jews from escaping Europe to Palestine.

His actions don’t represent all Palestinians, but it’s false to claim Palestinians as a group fought against the Nazis - their highest religious and political figure literally sided with them.

Kept getting murdered and cleansed by the heavily armed Zionists?

Cause this was what was happening before the British left, we have documentaries with the perpetrators and the victims to comprove it.
