neither. israel should not even be there but the whole thing started with a hamas attack (well not the whole thing thus point one)

What do you mean by "be there"? Exist as a nation or be in Gaza?

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social -2 points 2 years ago (18 children)

exist as a nation. Put in place by fundamentalist religious types who want to show how the bible predicted this thing they caused to happen.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the persecution of Jews didn't start with WW2 and neither was it limited to areas controlled by Nazi Germany. There are very good reasons why Jews wanted to return to their home country.

Stealing land has always been popular.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These Jews legally bought the land. The expulsion of Arab Palestinians didn't start until the Arab League declared war on Israel.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From whom did they buy it? The Ottomans?? I don't think so.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Yes, from the Ottomans and also from local landowners, especially after the British took over. They preferred purchasing land with few Arab tenants in order to evict as few people as possible. This meant that much of the land was of poor quality for agricultural use, which they solved, after the founding of Israel, by coming up with innovative irrigation methods.

That land belonged to the Jews a thousand years before Islam took over

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Land doesn't belong to anyone you fucking loser.
