Contemporary Jewish society and population in Israel predates 1948.

Most of the Jewish residents of Israel have European or American
heritage and immigrated there since 1948. A large number are actually
first or second generation there.

Yeah, most of the adult Israelis who were there prior to 1948 are dead.
Good call but not relevant to Jews in large numbers being in Israel
prior to 1948, and relevant to the fact that after the State of Israel
was declared, its Arab neighbor countries attacked.

When Germans invaded Russia the Russians attacked too. So what.

When they declared "the State of Israel" it was to the exc;lusion of
the resident muslim population and they have been treating them as a
disenfranchised race since then. It is not that much different than
what South Africa was like during apartheid.

The fact is, if you look about 95% of the current Jewish population of
Israel, their grandparents were NOT living in Palestine in 1945.

The resident Muslim population was offered full citizenship and
partnership.

Tell that to the people on the West Bank.

Most of the people on the West Bank weren't alive in 1947-48 when full
citizenship and participation were offered. In fact, most of the people
on the West Bank back then were in Israel itself before they decided to
leave and then make war on Israel. The Jordanians sure as hell didn't
want them. So, what have the so-called Palestinians done since 1948 to
turn the lands they took over into self-sustaining areas?

Nothing. Many of them are still living like refugees, hopeful that one
day they will push the Jews into the Mediterranean. And did their Arab
/Muslim brothers from oil-rich Araby step up to help their Palestinian
brothers build a state?

No.
