Look at a map of Europe, it's all Europeans. Why did Europeans feel the need to create a settler colony in the middle east to send Jews that weren't safe in Europe?
I dunno but they did. Probably so the Nazis wouldn't hunt them down and exterminate them all like they tried to do in the 40s?
Why shouldnt they have their own country?
Why don't you give up your house? Canada is safer than the middle east right? Let them take yous. Why shouldn't they
White people live all over the world just let them have your house wtf
They were occupants of that land before and during the same time as the Arabs.
Oh really? All the European descendants who moved there and the currently living fascist Israeli government lived there at the same time as "the Arabs" (who as we all know are a single unified people). My bad that definitely excuses a Western military backed European settlement being declared on land where people already existed, propping up an apartheid ethnostate.
I'd make a comparison to the indigenous peoples of North and South America, but unfortunately we Canadians genocided them so hard that a foreign power can't declare Ontario to be theirs and allow people from all over the world claiming indigenous heritage to come settle here and get treated as a higher caste with additional rights and privileges.
So where were they supposed to go after the Nazis tried to eliminate them? They dont have ancestral or religious ties to other European lands or America or Canada or Australia or Asia or Africa so where?
Maybe the allied should have given them some sort citizenship instead of treating Holocaust survivors as alien immigrants. They were literally expelled by the allies lmao
Hey moron: why were they fleeing Europe if they had no ties
They lived there for a long time before the Holocaust
Zionists are the rich jews who paid the nazis to let them go and kill their fellow poor jews instead.
You literally agrees with the nazis about jews not belonging in Europe lmao
Because when they did they used it to bomb civilians for decades
Give them Austria or some European country that participated in the Nazi side of the WW2 conflict as reparations for the Holocaust.
Instead colonial powers of the world gave a land that already had a population with mixed ethnicity to a minority in that area, then armed them and backed them to take everything from the majority.
Do they not have historical and religious connections to the land of Israel with roots dating back thousands of years?
They have a historical religious connection to a land from thousands of years and want the right to return there but don't believe the people that live there currently in Gaza and as refugees around the world have the right to return to their homeland, some literally have deeds for homes that Jewish settlers moved into after their families were forced out in the Naqba.
I would dispute that they have a DNA connection to that actual land as the Israeli govt has issues with Jewish people taking DNA tests because they are likely to show no DNA connection to historic Palestine and mostly connection to Europe and Russia.
How is it an excuse to bomb people asshole?
