    Jews are 2000 years removed from any connection to Palestine. The Zionist movement didn’t even originally want Palestine. They were looking to settle in Africa. And the issue is not whether they have ancestral ties to Palestine, but that they have settled and displaced, and actively continue to do so, the current population indigenous to the region with generations of continuous residence going back to that very same time 2000 years ago

    Are you trying to state that the region was not a British colony and an Ottoman one prior to that?

    I’m not sure why you think Palestine being under the control of various imperial powers means the people don’t exist. This is like saying there is no Scotland because it is under the control of the British empire

      Are you trying to say Jews haven’t remained in the area, along with the surrounding area of ancient Israel? Cuz that’s not even remotely true as evidenced by the raft of countries in the region that exiled them. Jordan, Iraq, Syria. They’ve been there the whole time.

      I’m not saying the people don’t exist. they’ve been murdering Jews the whole time, they’re there. They passed on the opportunity to have a country, they preferred trying to commit genocide instead. The deal they were initially offered was far more generous to the Arabs than the Jews too… choosing and losing war has consequences. Seems like they sadly still haven’t learned either, starting this war.

      They’ve returned home. They’re not leaving again. If you are going to use the standard Antisemitic claim israelis are from Poland or Brooklyn, check out the census data first.
