Middle East Conflict

[Eds]

if the US is so concerned with Jews being wiped out, why don't they give them all a home in the US? It's one of the biggest countries in the world.

More Jews already live in USA than do in Israel. And by the same logic why don't any of the 49 countries whose population is more than 50% Muslim let the Gazans live in their country.

As do the 6 million Israeli Jews (and Arab citizens).

Clearly they've been given land to live on which they can call homeland BUT they continue to EXPAND illegally which is the main issue.

You do not have a balanced view on Israel. You turn a blind eye to mass murder.

Palestinians have a homeland therefore do not need someone to give them a home anywhere.

So do Israelis.
And therein lies the problem.

Seemingly you do too.

Israelis having a home is not the problem, Israel expanding illegally is the problem. And killing innocents mass murdering children in the process.

You could say the same for politics or even football, it’s just a human tendency to group together

You really couldn’t.

Seemingly by your earlier comment you want to relocate them to the USA or a Hamas/Hezbolah Death Camp - one or the other.

Had Arab armies not attacked the newly formed state in 1948 to attempt to wipe it out, almost certainly none of this would be a problem. Had President Nasser not been such a dickhead in 1967, almost certainly none of this would have been a problem.

But this was always going to happen.

Can you name a single time in history where a country, a people, have had 60% of their territory confiscated, given away to complete strangers and the native population thinking it’s just great and everyone living happily ever after?

You should read what I was responding to before judging my post.

There was never a self-governing country called Palestine. The territory was part of another empire for nearly 2000 years so nothing got "confiscated". Many countries were formed post WW2 that had far less logic than Israel, where a majority ruled and oppressed a minority. Or even, like in Syria with the Alawites, where the minority oppressed the majority. Look at India/Pakistan, where partition saw the displacement of millions.
