    Again, nobody cares where the jews were when the Roman Empire existed. In that logic we need to roll back the entirety of the last several hundred years. That’s patently ridiculous.

    It’s also ridiculous to say Britain won it so now Isreal gets to exist, when the Irgun drove the British out. It’s doubly ridiculous because all of the other colonial projects from the early 1900’s have been devolved to the indigenous people. And no, you’re not indigenous to an area after living abroad for 2000 years. What makes this slice of the Ottoman empire special?

      Just like nobody cares that the Palestinians controlled this territory before they lost it. All that matters is who has it now.

      The UN decided to partition Mandatory Palestine, with part of it forming Israel and the other forming an independent Palestine. However, the Palestinians rejected this, went to war, and lost.

      When you go to war and lose, it’s not your land anymore.

        Yeah I picked that up a while ago, I like to draw their logic out so people can see how absurd it is. Although not the whole, own instance thing. Thank you though.
