Centuries long? You’re mixing them up with Jewish people?

I said century, not centuries. The state of Israel was formed in the 1940s, nearly a century ago.

Century-long is what was written. Not centuries-long. So we only need go back to 1923 or earlier, and we know this started around then.

No see it’s not literally exactly 100 years or greater so you can’t use a world like century long because that would be inaccurate. I’m going to ignore literally everything else about the post and just focus on the fact that you used one slightly exaggerated word instead because I have no other leg to stand on

there was also Zionist activity in Palestine for decades before Israeli independence. Saying a century is completely accurate
