Are you seriously comparing conquests and migrations of the 7th century and a thing that happened in our life time? Well, my life time at least... I actually went to high-school with a Palestinian kid who immigrated with his parents to Yugoslavia. His family was kicked out of their apartment and put into a camp and he spent a part of his young life locked there. In his own words the hardest was that the camp was relatively near where they used to live and they could actually see their old building's roofs from the camp, through the wire fence, knowing that someone else now lives in their home. It's a recent event still very alive in mind and souls of Palestinian people, not some ancient story from time when Anglo-Saxons still ruled the Britain and Slavs haven't moved to Europe yet.
- TheGuyWhoCodes 5y agoSo what you are saying is that we should wait couple of hundreds of years and then there is a statute of limitation? How far in history do we need to go for context? - 67 (6 day war)? - 64 (PLO founding) - 48 (Israel independence)? - 1920 Nebi Musa riots, 1921 Jaffa riots, 1929 Palestine riots, 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine?
- ivanhoe 5y agoThe further back in history you go less relevant it is for the current events commentary - I thought it's something well established?
