How far do you want to go back and play the game of warring tribes? Egypt is only an Arab state because of Arab conquest, should they expelled?
When and why exactly did Israel expand it’s borders from its original mandate? Wars have consequences, until recently that was primarily measured by territorial gains, or losses.
Look, my post on Lemmy is fairly new, so you’ll just have to take my word (or not), that I’m no fan of Israeli settlers, or their government, but I genuinely distest people who cherry pick their history of this conflict to say, without saying, that Israel made this mess on their own, and that Arab hostility and policy has had little, to no, influence on the current situation.
Maybe you should read up a bit on multiple Arab invasions and wars that occurred in the middle 20th century to better understand why Israel is now even in the position to settle those lands.
I’m perfectly aware of the chaos and confusion that came about after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and subsequent meddling by the usual suspects - the Brits, the Americans and the French.
None of that excuses European Jews being gifted huge swathes of land by western crooks and then stealing even more without repercussions.
Learn something new everyday. I wasn’t aware the Turk Ottomans were actually Arabs, or that the Ottoman empire waged multiple wars in the mid 20th century.
