    Their rejection is understandable. The west/UN offered them land? Shouldn’t the people who had lived there for generations be able to decide for themselves?

      Jews have lived in this land for many generations as well and equally have the right for that land as well. That’s not to say that they should drive whoever lived there out. They were offered full citizenship and their own full sovereign country which they didn’t have before but they refused and instead declared war.

        Somebody doesn’t even pretend to have ever read a book in their life or listened to somebody who actually lives there.

            No meaningful conversation to be had with somebody who spouts such blatant obvious falsehoods.

            Sorry I won’t waste my time replying and compiling sources just so you can call them all fake. 🤷

        I don’t know, man. Many Arab Jews lived in Palestine alongside everyone else just fine… but those you are talking about weren’t in Palestine since what year? since like 600 BC? 🤔 No offense, buddy, but if you don’t live in a place for that long, it’s not really yours anymore… and if you have to ethnically cleanse the population (the Nakba) then that raises more eyebrows, sounds like the land isn’t yours… sounds like colonialism to me.

        They were offered full citizenship and their own full sovereign country which they didn’t have before but they refused and instead declared war.

        LOOK AT ME! I’M ISRAEL! I TAKE TWO-THIRDS OF THE CAKE, YES? AND YOU GET 1 THIRD OF THE CAKE, YES? THAT IS FAIR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S NOT FAIR??? WE WILL BOMB YOU TO THE GROUND!!!

        Maybe we should all take over Africa, since we ALL have the right to live there and exploit its riches, being homo sapiens and all.

        Yes, a Jewish minority lived in Palestine with no problems as far as I know. But again, they where offered citizenship and a sovereign country. This is not something that should be offered by the rest of the world, or by a bunch of immigrants with a motive to create their own country specifically for themselves.
