Oh boy. First, most Israeli Jews are of middle eastern origins, expelled from their homes in the surrounding Arab states. Second, like someone else noted, possession is 9/10th of the law, i.e., the world belongs to the living. Third, the Jewish people are the indigenous people of Israel - there is evidence of Hebrew being the language of the region 4500 years ago.

If Europeans would continue having that train of thought they would still be fighting. Alas, someone had those same thoughts back in February 2022. And now it's a minefield.

Dwelling on the past is a recipe for disaster, having grandiose thoughts of conquest is very much the same (hint: Netanyahu's colonization efforts, I thought I should be fair and account for that too).

It's their home because they live there now.

(on purpose i try to refrain for going all historical because we live in the present, not the past)
