> Arabs like to say that there are two conflicting narratives of the conflict. The facts are far simpler. I'm aware that the conflict is old and complicated and there are good and bad people on both sides, but by your own account, the basis of it is that Brits decided that a group of people scattered across the world all had a natural right to live in roughly the same place their ancestors came from 2000 years previous, regardless of the feelings of the people who were already living there. And, granted, their neighbors could have reacted less violently. But it still doesn't make much sense to begin with. I can trace my ancestry to medieval Britain, and I might be able to figure out exactly where some of my ancestors lived, but that doesn't give me or anyone the right to evict the people living there now.
