For example, back in 1947, while gearing up for the Bandung Conference in 1955, Indonesia's leaders showed they had Palestine’s back, along with the broader Arab fight against colonialism. Later on, Sukarno, the country’s first president, openly voiced his support for Palestinian independence.

And Mahatma Gandhi may had mixed feelings about Zionism but emphasized the rights of Arabs in Palestine while it was under British control. After gaining independence, India took a non-aligned approach, showing support for the Palestinian cause.

However, there’s not much direct evidence from before the 1960s because many countries were still developing back then, so you’d need to dig through archives of old documents or newspapers to find anything.

And you're partially right, that the conflict has a religious aspect, but also territorial aspect mixed. Some Arab and Islamic leaders talk about it in religious terms, like opposing a Jewish state in lands that used to have a Muslim majority. But it’s also about things like displacement, control over land, and the right to decide our own future.
