      No. That’s a religion. Their religion claims a link to the land. They have been gone 2,000 years and now they want to come back in, genocide the people whose families stayed in the region, and colonize it.

      There’s no part of de-colonialization that accepts a government of settlers over the people who lived there before.

        Jewish people are ethnically and culturally linked to one another and to the land of Israel. There has never been a time in the last 3000 years when there was not a significant native Jewish presence in and around Jerusalem.

        I’m sorry that your history teachers have failed you in this regard, but I urge you to learn more about this history.

          Yeah. Cool. That still doesn’t give the ones who left 2,000 years ago the right to kill everyone in order to setup a settler state.

          And they were fine without Israel, living in peace along side their relatives that now identify as Arab or Palestinian or just not Jewish. Then white settlers came in and settled the land.
