I feel like the way Israel was created was incredibly unfair to the Palestinians. If a group of refugees were told they could come into your town and live there and you would now be under the leadership and religion of those refugees, would you not be upset by this? Even if land wasn't stolen from you, I'm sure you would feel a way about having a random group of people now leading your people. Is it more complicated than this?

I think Jews deserve their own country but they should have been given an area that was completely isolated and didn't previously have a different type of leadership/ruling and population. Of course the Palestinians were resentful and fought back. What choice did they have?

I feel like this dynamic was created when Britain gifted Israel to the Jews. I don't even blame the Jews for this. They needed a place to live. Reguardless, the creation of Israel shouldn't have happened the way that it did. It was a recipe for disaster. It was not a good or real solution for anybody.

Do people not think Palestinians have a right to that land that is now Israel? And if so, why do you think that way? I do get that land redistribution happens all the time with war, but that doesn't make it fair or morally right. I think it is understandable if any group of people decide to fight back against someone else claiming land they have come to identify with. For instance, I know the land I live on right now was stolen and if Native Americans decide they want their land back, they have a right to it.
