    Why isn’t it their land? They have legitimate claims a thousand years back but were ran off then.

      By that logic the United States shouldn’t exist, either. It’s built on stolen land with legitimate claims going back tens of thousands of years.

        Exactly. Forever and a day you have no rights to exsist except from the place where your ancestors came from a million years ago.

        You rather made my point that the Palestinians have no greater right than the Israelites. Hamas on the other hand has stated with no ambiguity that their policy is to exterminate absolutely every last Jew in the middle East.

        What was the point of the balfour declaration then?

          To back up the Jews that had been returning? They started to return in larger numbers due to pogroms in places like Russia.

              Feel free to tell me what your point is. I’m already done with the “let me pick one random event in a long history of events” shit.

                My point is that it’s incorrect to try to spin this as Palestinians having seller’s remorse.

                  I didn’t. I corrected someone. But pretending that Jews didn’t have legitimately acquired land and settlements there is brain dead.

        Much of it is purchased. People seem to forget this part.
