i had this crazy idea that instead of bombing gaza and killing civilians they could have just worked with the gazans to respect their space, grant them rights in israel, not cut off food water and power, and work together to help everyone live together against radical elements.
They’ve returned land to the Palestinians and pulled out settlers multiple times through that 75 years, yet Palestine goes right on back to attacking them.
There has never been a Palestine, The area was part of the Persian empire, Greek Empire, Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, etc, and the Arabic people living there came and went. There is no Palestinian homeland, and very few people in Palestine can trace their ancestry back generations in that region, with many of them going there after world war 1
The Land of Palestine: A Brief Overview
Palestine is a geographical region located in the Eastern Mediterranean, bordered by modern-day Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon. It is part of the broader area known as the Levant, which has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history.
Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem. The land itself was under the control of various empires, such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and eventually the Islamic Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire.

Ignoring 75 years of history and conflict.
eh israel has to start somewhere to show they’re serious and ready to change.
They’ve returned land to the Palestinians and pulled out settlers multiple times through that 75 years, yet Palestine goes right on back to attacking them.
Truly Israel is the victim here, those evil Palestinians trying to take their homeland back are just too much!

So not the homeland of current Palestinians, understood. Glad you agree.
And neither of current israelis, so why are they granted a Israel and the others no Palestine?
