Just as a reminder to all. There was never a state, nation or people called Palestine. The area called Palestine today is the ancient home of the Jewish people, and “Palestinians” are descendants of immigrants from the surrounding Arab nations.
Jews have had a continuous presence in their ancestral land for thousands of years, but began moving back in serious numbers in the 1800’s. They bought land from those who owned it, and they reclaimed land from desert. They didn’t steal any, and anyone who claims they did needs to show how the Jews, who were greatly outnumbered by Arab immigrants, managed to take anyone’s land from them. Think about it. Palestinians routinely attack Jewish woman and children for the crime of being Jewish, let alone for any actual grievances, but we’re expected to believe that Arabs did nothing while Jews came and stole their land from under them?
In 1947, after Arabs refused to form a country with the Jews that were living in Palestine, the land was partitioned by the UN into Jewish and Arab areas, based on who was living where. The Jews took the opportunity, and the next year the nation of Israel was born. The Arabs in Palestine, along with most of the Arabs in the Middle East, attacked the Jews, losing the war, and more of their territory. They tried again a few more times, losing more of their land, including Jerusalem. Since then, they’ve been offered a state no less than six times, and have rejected it with violence each time. The fact that Israel is approaching 75 years as a nation, in the state they built, while the Palestinians are living on handouts in a broken “territory” is not Israel’s fault, but the fault of the Palestinians and their enablers.
All this is verifiable historical fact. It’s not the common narrative, but that’s what you get when leftist anti-semites run the media. Everyone should learn the facts, or at least stop spreading untruth.
