Modern Israel should not have been created.
And what should have happened then?
Or do you mean that the entire circumstances of it being necessary shouldn't have been.
Also... Besides their current government shifting towards being basically Nazis, why not?
Not the OP, but the reasons for creating a country of the other people's land was basically religious, that makes it automatically a mistake.
No jews actually are considered a "race" because the only way to actually become Jewish is to be born from a Jewish mother.
And other peoples land? You know how many times that place of earth switched hands? How far do you need to go back to "rightfully" own land?
I don't care. They're using idiotic arguments to justify atrocities. They get zero sympathy from me.
They as in jews in general or the Israeli government? ๐คจ
The latter. And those who adhere, of course.
The refugees get sent back to their original towns where they can, taken in by allied nations, or taking land from Germany or other axis power as reparation.
Instead they took land from a nation not even involved in the war with the express purpose of forming an ethnostate, not even just for the displaced Jews.
Sorry but that wasn't a nation, it was a British colony, your entire point is invalid because they got land from them...
And that changes what?
You literally said the allied countrys should take them... They did.
Britain being an asshole military subjugator doesnt make them allies, they were fighting for independence and im gonna recognize it.
Oh you mean allies of the jews?
So nobody in this world?
Stop shifting the goalposts. Israel is legit and the only way to prevent another holocaust. Their government right now is a different story. And a "Palestine" country doesn't exist. Its a terrorist organization.
no, I mean the allied powers during the war. Im not interested in the technicality that Britain was oppressing an arab nation at the time, Palestine was not involved.
That was Britain during that time.
No it was a nation oppressed by Britain, seeking independence. They didnt consider themselves British. My mind's not gonna be changed by old, oppressive British colonialism.
You don't have to "consider yourself part of [insert country]" to be part of said country.
Man you are really adamant old Britain being imperialistic tyrants is a justification for this. Well Ive already said its not gonna change my mind, and its just us two talking, so I guess Ima head out.
Man you are defending a place that does not exist.
