Lessons from the past - Lemmy.World

Ah yes, because of the Jewish “freedom fighters” which killed 1500 nazis and kidnapped nazi women and children which was the trigger to the Holocaust. Yes it’s an exact parallel.
Of course it isn’t an exact parallel. Jews fleeing persecution were given a country in another people’s land. Palestinians fleeing Gaza are being sent back.
Were there no jewish people living in israel prior to 1948? Do the Jewish people have no historical claim to Israel?
So if I live in a country then I’m free to bring in everyone considered the same ethnicity as me from anywhere else in the world because of my historic precedent?
The Jewish people living in Palestine at the time were largely ostracized by the immigrating European Zionists. Correct, the Jewish people have no historical claim to the area, given that said claim was won through brutal conquest and genocidal subjugation of the people who already lived there.
There are Palestinians living in America. We should give them Texas.

Do the Jewish people have no historical claim to Israel?

Nope.

They do, but not because they have lived there historically. It’s because they have lived the last 76 years in there in a country that is internationally ratified.
