Like immagine if the rhetoric of Turkey was constantly talking about expanding to Greece and how the land of Greece is historically the Turks. Obviously that would make any Greek uneasy.
And the Greeks are historically famous for being quite laissez-faire when it comes to their eastern borders.
You can literally count with both hands the amount of people in Israel that advocate for “greater Israel”
How modern Israel came to be upon “God promised land”?
That’s the main reason and I do not believe in any possibility of any peace in the region, whatever bullshit politicians would say.
Tell me why anyone in the region shouldn’t be pissed of at Israel (and to their piggy banks in the West)?
That's not really an accurate characterization of the situation as much of the land was uninhabited/unregistered and/or state owned. The Negev desert for example is a large percentage of the total land area and was effectively uninhabited and not privately owned. Land ownership records at the time were also not particularly clear and often there were disputed claims. Also Israel has about 20% Arab/Palestinian citizens so it's not like they ethnically cleansed everyone like Egypt/Jordan did with the Jews in Gaza and the West Bank when Israel gained independence.
It's still a major propaganda point for Hezbollah.

[audience laughter]
Tomato, tomahto. Shenanigans, genocide.

States like Israel formally define their borders via mechanisms like peace deals that include bilateral recognition of agreed upon borders, like Israel has with Egypt and Jordan.
You can't realistically define borders properly otherwise, trying to define borders via unilateral declaration doesn't really work when there are 2 states next to each other, the borders ultimately need to be negotiated bilaterally between those states with both sides recognizing the same borders.
funding Israel violates the separation of church and state.
"Whataboutism" or "whataboutery" (as in, "but what about X?") refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation. It is an informal fallacy that the accused party uses to avoid accountability [...]
