Where did I say this? Re-read my post. The issue I have is the statement that those living there (that which I replied to), even if a portion of those people are simply migrant workers and/or have been situated there for no longer than when the 'First Aliyah' took place, are referred to as the indigenous people in the area in question.So you believe after 100s of years of living in diaspora, generation after generation, you still are indigenous population of that place?
Capiche?
Jews have consistently lived there. This isn't some piece of fiction from Star wars ('long long time ago'), but an actual connection, historically, to the land.I know Jews were from that place a long long time ago.
But meanwhile other people lived there. And it brings alot of troubles creating a nation there. and especially it is a huge exceptions for Jews being made.
No other people had so much luck to have the International community creating a nation for them.
Nation building has never been trouble free. Case and point, the brunt of all Western nations.
Native Americans/Aboriginals just had two of the largest nations built around them. Kurds have always received the crappy end of the deal, be they in Turkey or Iraq.Native Americans dont get that in the Americas, the Aborigenis dont get that in Australia, Kurds dont get that in the Middle east etc etc.
Native Americans/Aboriginals also haven't launched wars against their the Americans/Australians in order to eliminate them. The other way around though, it can be argued that this holds true.
What is left is to negotiate to terms and reparations to both sides displaced.
You mean for the many groups of people that weren't happy with the wars and adjoining displacement.I dont say it should not have been done, but there must be some understanding as to why the people actually living there were not very happy with that decision.
A huge part of their land? The 50 some odd square kilometers of land in the West Bank? This is huge? Not to forget the potential land swaps that were in peace negotiations for decades already.Just like most in the USA would not be happy to give a huge part of the land they see as theirs to someone else and let them have an independent nation there. Same for the rest of America, same for Australia, same for Iran/Turkey/Iraq.
Put the ridiculous size differences of the US and Australia into question. Now factor this in to the WB, the settlement blocs, land swaps and reparations and you'll see how ridiculous the correlation between Israel/Palestine and the US/Australia is.
