Sorry to expect this of someone, but I can't get a clear answer from the rest of the internet (That I feel I can trust anwyay). Could someone please give me an entry level explanation as to what's going on?

Thank you this was the kind of response I was hoping for and didn't think anyone would take the time to write me a personal essay lol.
So if I were to recap (paragraph per paragraph) what you said to make sure I've got a basic understanding, it goes like this.
Historically, and up until about 150 years ago, present day Palestine was a collection of clans and small empires that feuded the way all empires do. One of these tribes were a vile group of supposed cannibals who came to the region claiming that the land was rightfully theirs, that at some point it was taken from them and they'll get it back someday.
It's important to the three big religions which all stem from the same source material all have some sort of claim to the land. Figures.
Jews stir up trouble between their two opposing groups, figures. They're pretty good at stirring up trouble on the modern world.
Didn't know Muslims believed in Jesus being a prophet I thought they hated him like the Jews do but believed in some other separate son of Abraham. Not well versed on this stuff but am trying to learn to keep up with the culture war(s).
Since 600 till 1918 Palestine was mostly inhabited by Muslim Arabs (Some Christians also and a tiny minority of Jews). They are the ones who planted all the olive trees there and built all the cities. I have seen videos of what Muslim country's used to look like, and it looked no different from the west in the 1900's. So they made it a more than habitable, great place it live.
After WW1, the English took control of Palestine and gave it to Jews in 1948 (Easy to guess the Jews were orchestrating this, god damnit). And what's that about a region being disarmed in order to be taken? Sounds familiar.
In 1967, war continues through the use of Arab's who were already living in Palestine, all to lead towards the weaken and disarm the locals.
Palestinians were basically back stabbed by their own neighbors and family and forced into this situation.
Fast forward to 2024, Jews control most of region and the few remaining Palestinians who are descendants of those who've lived there for hundreds of years and trapped in this situation where an invading force is trying to push them out one way or another. Meanwhile more and more Jews move into the region as they claim the land.
Jews control much of the world, including America and the local Arab population through a variety of means, all to orchestrate the genocide of the Palestinians.
This is so fucked up. I get why that Austrian painter did what he did.
Yes! I think you got it.
I had to skip a lot of the interesting details of course and simplify things.
One thing to note also is that the general Arab populations in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, etc.. always wanted to fight the Jews and wanted to support their Palestinian brethren but their Arab leaders always betrayed them and sided with Jews in an underhanded manner. But I am sure this is already what you expect.
Funnily enough, it's Jews who hate Christians the most and consider them idol worshipers and curse Christ in their Talmud. Jews hate Christians much more than they hate Muslims.
Muslims on the other hand consider Christians simply misguided. Mohammad I think incorporated Nestorianism Christianity teachings which was popular in his region at the time. Mixed it with some Judaic beliefs and pagan teachings. Some sort of mishmash.
But Jews have successfully pitted Muslims against Christians and vice versa while they laugh on the sidelines.
Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet and completely human. They believe that he was not crucified and that he is still alive and will come back at the end of time hence all 3 religions are waiting for him but with different versions.
