I'm not a zionist I think the Palastinians were fools to refuse the UN offer of their own country and attack Israel. If they had won they would have expelled all Jews. They could have had their own sovereign Nation for 78 years now. Just for comparison after Germany lost WW2 they lost 25% of their land and 14 million German living on it were expelled. Has Germany spent the last 78 years trying to get it back? No. Instead they have been doing the smarter option which is creating a peaceful and rich country, which is what the Palastinians should have done.

You're not a Zionist, but you then proceed to make a Zionist argument? The Palestinians were the only people living on the land before the settlers came. That included Jews and Christians, because Palestinians are not a homogeneous group. The Zionist settlers are not indigenous, they had no right to settle there. They also took the UN resolution and just started a war where they razed 500 villages. I'm sure if the Palestinian side had won, they would have expelled the settlers. But that is only natural. And beside the point, because the Palestinians didn't start the war, and of course uou expel invaders.

  "The Palestinians were the only people living on the land before the settlers came" And native americans were living in Canada, US, and Mexico before settlers came. The Palestinians are hardly unique in losing land in a war. In fact this is basically the norm in human history. What is almost unique is how Palestinians have made their lives much much worse pathetically trying to get the land back when they have absolutely no chance of doing so, anymore than Native Americans do. The jews living in Israel in 2026 are indigenous in the sense they are NOT leaving so any scenario where they do is a stupid fantasy. the Palestinians DID start the war, they rejected their own sovereign state in favor of gambling for everything and lost. But they have spent 78 years just refusing to accept reality while Israel has grown rich and powerful.

    The Palestinians did not start the war. Israel has started every war against the Palestinians, including the 1948 one. Israelis are not indigenous (there are rare exceptions of Mizrahis or Jerusalem Palestinians with some form of citizenship), they are colonists.

      Arabs stared the war when they rejected the UN offer of a sovereign internationally recognized Palastinian state and tried to destroy Israel instead. They lost. In retrospect this was very stupid. It doesn't matter if Israelis are indigenous or not because 7 million people are not going to leave.

        What is plan Dalet? Rejecting the establishment on your land is also not a declaration of war. Israel was the one who started the hostilities

        Jews legally migrated to the area and bought land starting 1882 driven by the rise of the Zionist movement and pogroms in Eastern Europe. If the Arabs had won the war they would have forced every last Jew out of the area and Israel would never have existed. When the Jordanian Arab Legion took control of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the ancient synagogues were destroyed, and the entire Jewish population was expelled or taken prisoner. The same happened in the Gush Etzion bloc. If the combined Arab armies had won the war, the Jewish state would have been dismantled, and the Jewish population would have been expelled or killed.They lost but have rather pathetically refused to accept this for 78 years now.

      > rare exceptions of Mizrahis It's not rare at all, the majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi.
