They've got as much a claim to it, as the Palestinians do. But the Palestinians are the ones who tried to engage in terrorism first - Arab paramilitary groups prior to 1948, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the Yom Kippur War, formation of the Hamas, suicide bombings - you name it, and are now uncompromising in their position. Unfortunately, they will continue to suffer with that attitude.
Under British rule, the Jews bombed the king david hotel, terrorism against the Brits. The Brits passed the buck to the UN and now Palestine is the cluster fuck it is.

Trouble is, they actually were here first. And only them. Oops.
But it doesn't matter, does it?

They were turfed over 50 years ago by a nation with a first rate army and nukes. The Israelis ain't going anywhere. No matter how many suicide bombers offer their souls to Allah, the Jews are there to stay.

So the Palestinians either adapt to that reality. Or leave.

Is this the makeup of the UN Security Council?

"You're talking about the alleged Human Rights Council that includes paragons like
Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cameroon, China, both Congos, Cuba, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Nicaragua, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Thailand, Uganda, UAE, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

At least a third of the council is made up of massively authoritarian regimes who behave in ways you would normally condemn but since the council ridiculously fixates on Israel like you do, you fully support them."

Yuh. My uncle and my best friend's dad served there in the British army and it was miserable as fuck!

Interesting take given Palestine was never a thing prior to then.
Prior to the Brits controlling Palestine, that area was under Ottoman control and called something else. The Brits promised the Arabs in the area their own state if they took up arms against the Ottoman Empire.

Not sure they did. They offered the Saudis their own state and were taken up on the offer. Palestine was closely controlled by the Ottomans until 1918.

All problems start with the British. 😂
This one for sure was all Britain's fault. They offered the Jews a Homeland in Palestine and being British, they assumed everyone would be reasonable and discuss their issues over tea. And when the Jews and Arabs were "damned uncivilized and bad sports about the whole show!" fucked off quickly back to Britain.

well that’s one of a few misconceptions you have. Also an interesting choice of words. Because prior to, and during British rule. Palestine never existed. Period. And had they tried to give peace a chance, longer than 24 hours….who knows what Palestine might look like today.

And AFAIK Jews were in that area as well predating the Ottomans. Did king David not decree that 3,000 years ago.?

be all that as it may, that’s all ancient history.

During British rule it was called "Mandatory Palestine" or simply Palestine from 1920 to 1948.

I am using history books and you are using religious books.

lmao. If you say so.
the territory existed. Not Palestine.
.

In 1988 the Palestine National Council meeting in Algiers proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine.
.

While the State of Israel was established on 15 May 1948 and admitted to the United Nations, a Palestinian State was not established. The remaining territories of pre-1948 Palestine, the West Bank - including East Jerusalem- and Gaza Strip, were administered from 1948 till 1967 by Jordan and Egypt, respectively.
.

As far as Jewish people and the diaspora in the region dating back 3,000 years or more. I’m curious what makes you think anyoneclaim is any better than the others.

I suggest you get refunds for your junk history books.

Maybe, they should have accepted one of the many peace agreements

You are missing the best part of the story. It was Israel that was secretly diverting Palestinian tax revenue to secret Bank Leumi accounts for Arafat. While they were calling him a terrorist, they were financing him.
That doesn't help the Palestinians whom he cheated and scammed, does it?
