I think one trick Western countries use is to give the impression that Palestina was a desert with no single soul there, at suddenly in 1948 Israel was created and all "jealous Arabs" run to put people in the dessert.
I think the central point is to show that there has been people living there since thousands of years.
In the old testament (Moses Account) it says that there were Caanites there before them, and that Moses and his people killed everybody when they arrived.
So there were people there which were exterminated by this Israeli leader genocide.
So of course the history don't start in 1948 as the Western press wants us to believe.
