    You would feel differently if you and your family were forcibly evicted from your land and told it belonged to others now.

    Especially if you and your family had absolutely no connection to an event like the Holocaust. Which is the situation that the Palestinians experienced - last I checked it was Germans, not Arabs, who committed the Holocaust. And yet, somehow, no German land was converted into a new state.

      Um, kind of, Prussia and Silesia have been converted from German land to Polish land, just so that Poland could move all their people from east Poland to west Poland and give east Polish lands to the USSR (and now Ukraine).

      So the Germans lost that land, but the Jews didn’t get it. The English instead gave them their Palestine.

        Dude, that was Russia doing that. Russia controlled that entire region until 1990.

            You were using that to justify the English giving Palestine to the Israelis. But two wrongs doesn’t make a right.

              No, I did not justify anything, perhaps it sounded to you that I did, that was not my intention.
