    You would feel differently if you and your family were forcibly evicted from your land and told it belonged to others now.

    Especially if you and your family had absolutely no connection to an event like the Holocaust. Which is the situation that the Palestinians experienced - last I checked it was Germans, not Arabs, who committed the Holocaust. And yet, somehow, no German land was converted into a new state.

      Um, kind of, Prussia and Silesia have been converted from German land to Polish land, just so that Poland could move all their people from east Poland to west Poland and give east Polish lands to the USSR (and now Ukraine).

      So the Germans lost that land, but the Jews didn’t get it. The English instead gave them their Palestine.

      Arab authorities supported Hitler in general.

      But I partially agree with you. Israel should have been established but at the same time lives of people there should have been unchanged.

      Just like no Jews should have been expelled from Arab countries.

      Unfortunately, they started a war and it ended badly for both sides.
