You can support Palestine without hating Jewish people. By being an antisemitic piece of trash, you discredit antizionism.

some Palestinian families did sell their lands and immigrated, that does not justify stealing more land by the new owners.

From the 1880s to the 1930s, most Jewish land purchases were made in the coastal plain, the Jezreel Valley, the Jordan Valley and to a lesser extent the Galilee.[8] This was due to a preference for land that was cheap and without tenants.[8]There were two main reasons why these areas were sparsely populated. The first reason being when the Ottoman power in the rural areas began to diminish in the seventeenth century, many people moved to more centralized areas to secure protection against the lawless Bedouin tribes.[8] The second reason for the sparsely populated areas of the coastal plains was the soil type. The soil, covered in a layer of sand, made it impossible to grow the staple crop of Palestine, corn.[8] As a result, this area remained uncultivated and under populated.[4] "The sparse Arab population in the areas where the Jews usually bought their land enabled the Jews to carry out their purchase without engendering a massive displacement and eviction of Arab tenants".[8]
In the 1930s most land was bought from small landowners. Of the land that the Jews bought, "52.6% of the lands were bought from big non-Palestinian landowners, 24.6% from Palestinian-Arab landowners and only 9.4% from the Fellahin".[10]

By the end of February, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), made up of the core part of Haganah, intimidates 2-3,000 villagers into leaving Faluja pocket in violation of Israeli-Egyptian Armistice Agreement.
March: IDF Negev and Golani brigades complete occupation of Negev as far as Umm Rashrash/Eilat.

The Armistice leaves Israel in control of 78% of the former mandate Palestine more than was envisaged in partition plan. The armistice line is internationally considered as the borders of Israel. The Gaza Strip (1,5 % of mandate Palestine) is placed under Egyptian, and the West Bank (21,5 %) under Jordanian control.
