The Arab world most of it was acquired through Conquest, including Palestine, who were then run over by the Romans, and who are run over by the Turkish and who were run over by the British.
But if I look at the Arab world today most of it is a product of colonialism the exact thing that people enjoy bashing Israelis for, but most of the land that they lived on were acquired the same way. So I would like for all the Arabs to please evacuate Africa since they're not from there. Go tell your friends.

War is not murder it's War. The descendants of the people that the ancestors of Palestinians threw out several times and came back several times came back again, from about 1848 to 1948 they came back in force. Seems to me it's karma for throwing them out in the first place.

Lots of different ethnic groups end up without states at all but Palestinians at least have the opportunity to have a state, and it's an opportunity they keep throwing away.

There was always enough room for everyone. Now other Arabic countries are actually sending their Jews to Israel because they've decided that's where they belong. From my POV that means that they have blessed Israel for Jews.

Now Israelis also have 1.2 million Muslims living with them as full Israelis, full rights no apartheid. It is a Pity the Palestinians can't do the same, we might have actually had a peaceful one state solution although it would not have happened overnight. So it seems to me the Palestinians are adamant about not sharing, the Jews are willing to share or at least to live alongside, but each time despite what our friend who wrote this article implies those large barrages of missiles happened as a result of large barrages of missiles coming from Palestinian properties. It might be wise to learn from one's mistakes and simply not attack other people first. There was a ceasefire before this and Hamas broke it.

Further Hamas is taking horrible care of their people. They are keeping all the money at the top while the people at the bottom are suffering. With the money that they're hoarding and that they're using for things like tunnels and bombs, they could have reliable solar power reliable internet and reliable desalination of Their Own. They wouldn't need anyone for anything. I've also seen pictures of Gaza from 1975. It was beautiful, and they destroyed it. There were greenhouses there that would have provided for most of the food, but instead of changing it up and making it their own they destroyed them and never replaced them to their liking.

Simply arriving at a place and buying land and having people that want trust work on it should not have been enough to create such a big problem that lasted Generations. The generations need to move on. I also know that militant Palestinians have given regular Palestinians a bad name all over the Middle East. It has reduced their welcome in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and Lebanon in addition to Israel. Palestinians, rather than trying to fight back with arms they should try being good neighbors.
