@LiberalLibrarian One can argue that Israel is a settler state imposed on a country without the permission of its inhabitants. But you'd have to say the same of South Africa, Canada, the United States .... And if you argue that Palestinians, like every people, need and deserve a homeland, you can't deny the Jewish people a homeland.
@ImagineThat And, of course, Jews had been living in the Holy Land continuously, in spite of the best efforts of the Romans and later the Byzantines. It's not like they had been completely eradicated from the area.
