You obviously dont know your history. This all started when Britain made shady deals with a bunch of countries during the first world war. And even before that Israel was on that land before there was ever a Palestine.

    Palestinians have been living there for hundreds of years, it is their home. The Isreali settlers started showing up 70 years ago and forced the inhabitants out of their houses. Do you seriously think that Jewish people deserve that land because of the religion of its inhabitants in ancient roman times?

    You do know their were always arab jews in tbe region. Just saying from Morroco to Yemen but with Israel's creation, jews were expelled from every Arab nation. Only Iran let those who wanted to stay in an islamist country.

    When were Jews expelled for every Arab nation? I don't think that's true. Like you said "there were always Arab Jews in the region" but they were a minority. The modern Israeli citizens are mostly immigrants though.

    That surprises me. I thought sharia law demands that you let peaceful infidels stay as long as they don't practice their infidelity in public and pay the jizyah. I mean, it obviously sucks and is tailored in a manner that infidels are leaving, but there is no forced relocation as in zionism.

    If you go by the Quran Jews aren’t even called infidels. They are considered People of the Book. But you are thinking that Arabs follow the Quran devoutly. They cherry pick like all the conservative Christian’s in the west. It doesn’t matter which religion they have they will be hateful against “others” regardless.

    I think he was referring to the IDFs penchant for shooting Palestinian kids in the back for funsies for the last few years.

    https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/2022-becomes-deadliest-year-palestinian-children-west-bank-over-15-years

    Jason Lee, Country Director for Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territory, said:

    “It is unacceptable that there is continued use of lethal force against children. So far, 34 Palestinian children in the West Bank have lost their lives in 2022, in what has become the deadliest year for children in more than 15 years. One Israeli child was reportedly also killed in an attack just this morning. Once again, children are paying the heaviest price for a conflict they have no control over."
