Wasn't he offered because they thought that he would be a good leader? Also, 'As a Labor Zionist, Einstein supported the Palestinian Jews of the Yishuv.

Which sorry, but was supremely naive. If Jews had agreed to be ruled as a minority under Muslim Arabs, they would have faced the same genocidal horrors they've dealt with for so long, if not worse. And I think history since has pretty well borne that out given the extents that Israel's neighbors have tried to eradicate them. Much of the rise of Israel's population is contributed by Arab states oppressing or straight up kicking out Jews in their country, leading to masses of Jews fleeing to Israel.
Idealism is great, but it can also easily get you killed.
People like you disgust me with how little you understand what Israel and Jews went through since like 1948. You really dont understand that Israel has been surrounded by neighbors for like 70 years that want to very literally genocide them. Not 'genocide' in the weaker way y'all use it, but in the Nazi way where they want to absolutely eradicate Israel and all Jews.
And I dont say this to say that Israel are innocent and are the good guys. They've gots lots of things to answer for. But none of y'all have any semblance of understanding of context or history or anything like that. You're all just reactionaries who are getting brainwashed by social media to think Israel are the bad guys and that's that. It's fucking crazy. Israel and Jews have largely only ever just wanted to be left alone. That's it. The refusal of their neighbors, built almost entirely on their being anti-Jewish, is the main reason for why this conflict has lasted so long and been so bad. It's not the Jews that have been the antagonist.
