The land was barren. It’s not like there was thriving cities that were demolished to make way.
Palestinians/Ottomans lost the land to the British. All losers in war lose land and that’s just how it’s been forever.
Jews have a historical claim to the land and have been expelled themselves 5+ times over the millenniums before Islam was even a thing.
People act like 1948 was the origin of all this. Please zoom out.
Also ask why no country wants the Palestinians.
I don't condone the Hamas terrorism at all, but neither the Israeli terrorism that has gone on over the years. The action of Hamas has set back Palestinian people for many years if not forever now. This will only result in more displacement of one of the most displaced people in history.
However, to claim that Jews have a right to the land because of historical occupation is pure rubbish. No group on earth is now where they were historically 1000's of years ago, except pure indigenous people of Africa, America , Australia etc. If you just want to put Jews where they 'were' milennia ago, then give my land back too. ;-)
And your last question...the very reason they were given Israel, was because "no country wanted the Jews" Ask that question, there are answers to it, but if one says anything then you are branded an anti-semite.
Is it also then "pure rubbish" to claim that the Palestinians have a right to the land now occupied by Israel?
You could be right, Horst. The FBI is warning Americans and law enforcement to be vigilant tomorrow because Islamics have designed Friday as some kind of Global Jihad day. Jihad is Islamo-speak for "we need to kill everyone!"
Tell me who is currently holding innocent American Civillians captive?
There are Americans in Palestine. Israel will not spare them. they’ve killed our citizens in the past. I’d rather our tax dollars didn’t fund either side.
Still MF'ing lying I see. Now you have a black wife. So she listens to you talk s*** about her and all black people.
Stop lying. No woman is with you, unless she is racist lying POS like you.
Dude...you lie worst than trump.
Nah my wife is white you'd hate her by default too.
I just said she was black because I know interracial marriage enrages racists like yourself.
I could care less who loves who. If a couple is happy...great for them. However, YOU are not married to a black woman. All that racist BS lies you spew. A black woman would kick your ass and her father and brothers would have you eating all your meals through a straw, as they would crack your jaw in a million pieces.
What the F have the people been doing in Gaza the last 20 years that Israel is able to cut off the water, electricity and other services whenever Israel wants? Do the people of Gaza not have their own generators and other electrical services aside what Israel provides them? Are they still living in the Middle Ages? Why don't they have a bustling and vibrant economy and everything else?

Also ask why no country wants the Palestinians.
Apparently no country wanted the Jews either if they kept being expelled. By your "reasoning" we should be asking why that is.
Circa 1945, the Jews could have used some help. The western world gave them some. Perfect? No. At the expense of some others? Yes.
I’m quite sure that Palestinians don’t equal Hamas. But it is notable how little support the Palestinians have received from the Muslim world, particularly the ridiculously wealthy Gulf states. Imagine what the Saudis and Emiratees could EASILY do with their wealth?
It’s very easy for much of the world to come to the conclusion that the Muslim world doesn’t really care much about the Palestinians. Occasionally pretending to care about them is just an excuse to cast more aspersions on Israel, a desire mostly or completely motivated by their anti-Semitism.
Do you know anything about psychology and history? Look at us, at least 74 million Americans have allowed a makeup wearing NY conman to control their minds. You are one of them.
The conman had good policies.
Your corrupt snake oil salesman's policies have destroyed the economy and set the world on fire.
I am an Israeli citizen, and I served in the IDF. You actually have ZERO factual knowledge
Point one: Great Britain & U.S. are largely responsible for modern Israel. Yes or No?
Jews have been living in Israel since time immemorial. When scientists seek to establish indigeneity, one of the key elements considered is archeological artifacts. Israel has hundreds of thousands of such artifacts. The Palestinians have NONE.
Point two: Great Britain & U.S., for the most part created modern Israel due to advocacy from some in G.B. for Israel based on Zionism.
Zionism barely existed when the Modern State of Israel was declared. It was a concept, not a reality. BTW, here is a fact, Zion is another biblical name for Israel.
Point three: Arabs living in SW Asia had zero to do with actions or inactions by some European powers during WW2.
Look up the meetings between the Mufti of Palestine and Hitler and other assorted Nazis during World War 2.

Point four: The U.S. gives billions of dollars annually to the Israeli government.
The US does not "give" Israel billions of dollars every year. This is money used to purchase goods from US companies. All major countries use money to gain influence in a region.
Point five: Israel was established as an international cooperative. Israelis are not supposed to be in West Bank
The "West Bank" was occupied by Jordan till 1967, as was Gaza by Egypt. Why did these countries not give it to the Palestinians if this was Palestinian Land? Why were there no terror attacks against these two countries? Why was there no BDS against these countries? It's funny how so many leftists spout useless Land Acknowledgements on their social media, but they don't allow it to apply to Jews and Israel.
By the way, the REAL name for that region is Judea and Samaria. Jews come from Judea.
What the Eff has the people been doing for 20 years? No emergency generators? No water services. Are they not able to function on their own? Big bad Israel can come in and shut off everything? are they still living in the Middle ages?
What the Eff has Israel been doing for 20 years? No ability to prevent a few Hamas terrorists from walking into Israel and taking over? Hundreds of billions in US aid apparently wasted. Should have given it to Ukraine instead.
Huge amount of corruption in Israel with US dollars 💸
How many Muslim countries are there, and how many Jewish ones? We Jews tried to live in a non-ethno-religious state for centuries.
In fact, my family was sure they were regular Hungarians just like their neighbours, till those same neighbours forced them to wear the Yellow Star of David, passed all kinds of laws that drove Jews into poverty, forced most men into "Labour Battalions" for slave labour or to clear minefields with their bodies and many never returned. Their neighbours robbed them of all they owned and forced them into a Ghetto where they were starved and tortured and then packed into cattle cars to be shipped to Auschwitz to be gassed. So save us the BS about the wonder of non-ethnic states. We Jews no longer lie down quietly in the ditch as our Grandparents did, or in my case, walk quietly into the gas chamber.
I personally remember when there were no checkpoints in Gaza other than the basic ones you would see anywhere when people pass from one country to another. What happened? Terror happened. The USA had ONE terror attack and promptly invaded TWO far-off countries, not a threat to the USA , killing thousands. Threats to Israel are three feet away as we have seen.
