I wonder if perhaps something has happened to European Jews in the 1930s that made them look for a place to re-settle

> made them look for a place to re-settle

re-settle is fine, Palestinians and Jews were living together in those areas for thousands of years.

Massacre, oppression and take over is not, especially when the problem wasn't caused by people living in those areas: Palestinians and Jews.

If anyone owes a land to European Jews, it is a Germany.

Zionism started long before Nazi Germany.

You do realize most Israelis were born there? Having a right to live where you are born is a pretty fundamental one.

So do Palestinians. It wasn't an empty land, right?

I don't think West Bank settlers agree with you on this

"I don't think West Bank settlers agree with you on this"

So? Did I said something that makes you think I agree with them on many points? There ain't just 2 extreme sides in this conflict.

President Trump would hard disagree with you on that one

Fortunately he is not undisputed king of america, yet.

lol the Israelis would also disagree, otherwise they would have let the Palestinians live with them instead of literally going village-to-village, and door-to-door to forcibly remove the Palestinian residents or be killed if they didn't.

If the state of Israel doesn't believe in native rights, then you shouldn't believe in supporting their native rights either.

Thank you, but I choose for myself what rights I support and yes, it is rights on both sides.
reply
No... thank YOU for believing in the right of Palestinians to return to their homes.
reply
Oh, I do. Do you believe in the right of the Israelis to stay safe in their houses?
reply
> Do you believe in the right of the Israelis to stay safe in their houses?

Yes, only if you clarify which house you mean, because some of them think Palestinian houses are theirs, Lebanon is theirs, Jordan is theirs, parts of Saudi Arabia is theirs, parts of Egypt is theirs.

Houses they build or bought from the owner. But in general the situation surely is messy.
