No it doesn’t, the Jewish people 2000 years ago weren’t a state, weren’t the only people in the region, and there’s no continuity. The claim is ridiculous
Not as a state, no, my point here isn’t arguing for the recognition of Palestine as a state, it’s arguing against the forceful and violent removal of a local population. Whichever nation the locals belong to is a matter of self-determination, not up to me to decide.

Nobody here was arguing for the forceful removal of the local population.
Defending the modern state of Israel amounts to that much, since it’s what it stands for
