I have recently gotten a lot of criticism on my views on the Palestine-Israel situation, I'm now trying to learn more to have a more accurate and holistic perspective. So my question is how accurate is that video?

This headline is all you need to know

Try this video by GDF instead for how Israel was created

The facts are somewhat accurate but the framing and bias is pro-genocide. For example, compare their description of the PLO/palestinians (terrorists, violent uprisings) to their description of zionist settlers/military (nonviolent, "moving/settling", defending against terror). Also the little animations of tanks shooting at each other is a pretty gross false equivalence. Also how they go focus deeply on jewish religion/stories but not much about other people. They make it seem like palestinians were invented by romans to punish jews ffs.... Etc.
