> A lot of Palestinian activists do support the Land back movement in the USA. I‘m curious if you do?
No. I wouldn’t want to send the arabs back to the arabian peninsula, or get that land my family had in Ireland back from the British either. But history is history. Jews were there 1600 years before arab colonisation.
> I‘m also curious why you seem so fixated on the Arab conquest
I’m not focused on the arab conquest, happy to talk about BGRBACOB rather than just A but people are discussing Palestinians (who before the 1960s referred to themselves as Arabs).
I’m not sure if you’re unaware of the concepts of Dhimmis and Jizya or the violence against Jews from Arabs in the early 20th century, which prompted the partition of British Palestine into one Jewish and two Arab states. Jewish people living as second class citizens under the Arabs was not a viable option.
Allowing Israelis and foreigners of all nations and religions to visit Jerusalem, yet not allowing Palestinians to enter Israel makes sense given security issues, I’m sure you would do the same.
Again though, HN isn’t a politics chat and we’re all about to be warned by Dan G or the new person to stop this conversation so I’m probably not going to participate.
