Palestinians have been living there for hundreds of years, it is their home. The Isreali settlers started showing up 70 years ago and forced the inhabitants out of their houses. Do you seriously think that Jewish people deserve that land because of the religion of its inhabitants in ancient roman times?

You do know their were always arab jews in tbe region. Just saying from Morroco to Yemen but with Israel's creation, jews were expelled from every Arab nation. Only Iran let those who wanted to stay in an islamist country.

When were Jews expelled for every Arab nation? I don't think that's true. Like you said "there were always Arab Jews in the region" but they were a minority. The modern Israeli citizens are mostly immigrants though.

That surprises me. I thought sharia law demands that you let peaceful infidels stay as long as they don't practice their infidelity in public and pay the jizyah. I mean, it obviously sucks and is tailored in a manner that infidels are leaving, but there is no forced relocation as in zionism.

If you go by the Quran Jews aren’t even called infidels. They are considered People of the Book. But you are thinking that Arabs follow the Quran devoutly. They cherry pick like all the conservative Christian’s in the west. It doesn’t matter which religion they have they will be hateful against “others” regardless.

the mistake youre making is comparing sharia law to zionism

one is religious rules, the other is a political ideology heavily influenced by religious rules
