I believe the Palestinians have inhabited the land for hundreds of years, and were ordered/forced to make space after the Balfour declaration, which displaced many Palestinian people and families from what they called their home for who knows how long.
Really??? You only think that it is the Palestinians who have suffered and been displaced?
"My parents and grandparents were forced to flee Egypt in 1957, leaving everything they possessed behind, to start a new life in a country they didn’t know – Brazil – with a language they didn’t speak - Portuguese. All of their assets were plundered and as of today, nothing that remained of...

Until the 1960s, approximately one million Jews lived in Iran and other Arab countries having arrived in the region more than 2,000 years before. Nowadays, it is estimated that only around 15,000 remain, as the majority of the Jewish population in Muslim lands were forced to flee their homes in the years following the establishment of the State of Israel. This mass expulsion and exodus is part of modern history, but inexplicably, it’s neither taught at schools nor remembered within the context of the conflicts in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, in the article below, the full text is behind a paywall, so only the headline is readable.
In 1948 some 900,000 Jews lived in Iraq, Yemen and other countries. Almost all of them were violently forced out.

It seems that you are only accepting pro-Palestinian facts and narratives. The Jews (including Christians) have been forced to "
give-up" their lands to make room for Muslim Arabs. Their suffering shouldn't be dismissed simply because the Palestinian claim faux victim-hood. It is the Palestinians (Hamas) who have repeatedly broken cease fires (over the past 80 years) and used terror tactics against Israel currently culminating in the October 7, 2023 barbaric sneak attack on Israeli citizens.
There is also an issue of "
relative morality". Currently, there is a wave of pro-Palestinian protests disingenuously claiming that Palestinians constitute a victim class that must be granted (undefined) justice. What about the Kurds?
When the Middle East was partitioned, the Kurds lost-out and were denied their own homeland. The Kurds are currently under the threat of genocide from Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq. Don't they deserve, as a victim class, justice (their own-homeland). But their suffering is ignored. The reason; the Palestinians are useful cannon fodder and have the propaganda support of the Islamic community in their quest to exterminate Jews. So one modify a left wing slogan to: "
Kurdish lives do not matter."
As another aspect of "
relative morality". It is the Palestinians who have devoted their entire "
economy" to making war on Israel. which made Gaza poor. It should also be observed that Gaza was given its "
independence" to become a city nation, like Singapore. Israel withdrew all its citizens and the military from Gaza, so there was no Israeli occupation of Gaza. Yet, the Palestinians conducted a barbaric sneak attack on innocent civilians and claimed that was morally just because they falsely claimed that they were "
occupied" and not free.
Where are the Palestinian peaceniks marching in the streets demanding that Hamas stop attacking Israel and that Hamas give-up its weapons?
Apparently there are none. Does this then imply that they are pro-terrorist? Seems so. Especially considering that they actively endorse a Jewish genocide. Therefore it would be foolish of Israel not to to exterminate Hamas.
