    You mean, returning home to the place they were kicked out of by the ruling party? The place they were ethnically cleansed from? Not quite and attempting to rewrite history doesn’t make it true.

    The Arabs living under British mandate were told by their Arab ‘brothers’ to get out during the war they started when Israel was granted statehood. Then they lost the war. That doesn’t make it Israel’s fault those 5 countries lost and couldn’t fulfill their promises.

    900,000 Jews were forced out of their homes by those Arab countries. How about they return that land and property? Then Israel could consider returning something to the lesser number of people who got the boot in the Nakba? You want to talk about stealing homes, why aren’t you advocating for the Jews to get their homes back too? More of them were displaced after all.

    Except Israel is the greatest decolonization effort man has ever seen.

    The British colonized it. Before that the Ottomans colonized it…

    Well over half of the people who live there now, are from the region having been kicked out of Iraq, Jordan, Egypt etc AFTER previously being forced out of Israel in the first place or have just been living there continuously… I’m including the 2 million Arab Israelis in that number. The myth that Israelis are from long island is just yet another antisemitic trope.
