The colony in Palestine took off, due to the British preference of solidifying european control over Ottoman region, and the convenient façade of the historical claim.
People lived there before this are descendents of those who lived there in the past. Many stayed even after the expulsion by Romans, many returned. Some, obviously would have changed their faith, but none of that gives the European descendents any more right over it. We can all colonise Ethiopia if we were to go on like this.
- dakom 2y agoStarting in the 1800's is pretty arbitrary. Try going back a couple thousand years. I am not interested in debating Ethiopia, I know nothing about it, and wouldn't presume to take a strong position on a subject I know so little about. "Usurpers" in that context was specifically about religious claim, where Islam has both a far weaker and far later claim than Judaism
- racional 2y agoTry going back a couple thousand years. And then a few more, for good measure. The only legitimate heirs to the region are the Bronze Age Canaanites. The only legitimate religious claim is held by the followers of El and Asherah. All others are usurpers and latecomers.
