Yeah, and the Jews were there before that. Welcome to history, where the people owning a land can change.
Fact is, Israel was formed on top of land owned by the Ottoman Empire, not the Palestinians. Britain won it as spoils of war, just like the Palestinians did long ago. Then the Palestinians went to war and lost again. It's just not their land anymore.
If war is a legitimate way to gain land, then Israel legitimately exists and it legitimately owns Palestine.

Again, nobody cares where the jews were when the Roman Empire existed. In that logic we need to roll back the entirety of the last several hundred years. That's patently ridiculous.
It's also ridiculous to say Britain won it so now Isreal gets to exist, when the Irgun drove the British out. It's doubly ridiculous because all of the other colonial projects from the early 1900's have been devolved to the indigenous people. And no, you're not indigenous to an area after living abroad for 2000 years. What makes this slice of the Ottoman empire special?

@TruthSandwich is a well-known troll. It proved so obnoxious that no other Mastodon instance would put up with it. It had to start its own instance. The fact that it could do that implies financial (and probably political) backing. I've blocked that domain, so I can't see what you're responding to.
