Since when?
Last I checked the PLO has rejected every treaty and agreement that would grant them a state independent of Israel. They continue to cling to victimhood and false refugee status. Was it Palestinian land during the Arab occupation between 1948-1967?

More than 4,000 Palestinians and 1,100 Israelis were killed in the border wars 1951-1967, well before the occupation of "Palestinian land."
8,200 Jews were killed in Palestine/Israel between 1920 riots to 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Well before Israel occupied "Palestinian land."
PLO recognized Israel's claims to parts of the West Bank under the Oslo accords. They did not dispute the presence of the settlements until the intifada.
In fact, the Palestinians welcomed it - as it provided a new source of trade and high paying jobs for Palestinian workers who made shit under Jordanian employees. Most of the good jobs are reserved for PNA cronies on the EU and USA tit.
Britain, on the other hand, continued to occupy Kenya, Rhodesia, Ireland, etc...well into the 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
Your settler conflict in Kenya killed more people in 10 years than the 100 years of conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians.
And yet, no one holds Britain's complicity in the conflict 5 decades later. No one holds Britain accountable for establishing apartheid governments in South Africa, Australia, Palestine, India, etc...
Your country fought a war over an irrelevant island stolen in 18th century British empire that killed 1,000 people in the 1980s.
I personally have no beef against Britain, I don't wish its destruction or advocate boycotts of the country. Rather, I think most British citizens are detached from reality - especially those who demonize Israel.
I'd argue most of the criticism is merely a reflection of themselves. They, after all, invented the apartheid. They expelled their Jews 4 centuries before Spain, and continue to persecute them to this day.
