You left out that Jewish settlers were fighting the British before WW2 and were allied with the Nazis... were the Arabs also allied with them? I hadn't heard that, but you're deff giving the Israeli sides version.

To say the pre-WWII Zionists were "allied with the Nazis" is a gross mischaracterization. There was discussion between Hitler's regime and the Zionists to relocate Jews from Germany to Palestine. Hitler wanted them out and the Zionists wanted them in. This didn't get far beyond the talking stage as you can imagine Jews living in Europe for millennia didn't exactly want to emigrate to the desert. The rest, as they say, is history.

You're right but the fact that the Zionists were fighting the Brits at the same time makes it look more like an alliance of sorts... I know many in India who were fighting the Brits allied with the Nazis as well...
