    It ended is existence in 720 BCE. Current State of Israel has no relation to it other than name. Majority of the Jews staying there today are Europeans.

      Majority of Jews are Europeans because they got kicked out of their home in the 15th-16th century.

      But now we have a conundrum! You’re saying that “State of Israel has no relation to it other than name”, and that is - from what I understand - your argument towards there being no Israel as the solution to the issues, right?

      But that means Palestine should be eliminated too considering it never existed as a nation at all in the entire history of humanity.

      So, which is it? Are we keeping your methodology and giving back the entire territory to Iran, or are we agreeing that it’s stupid fucking methodology?

          Which Arabs? Lebanese? Egyptian? Jordanian? Syrian? Make it an Iranian exclave?

          And what do you do with the Palestinians and Israelis already living there? Genocide both groups? That’s your solution?

            Palestinians are also Arabs. Jews have been staying there peacefully since millennia. Both can share a single nation with equal or proportional representation.

                  Mandatory Palestine was never peaceful due to nationalists (both Zionist and Palestinian) fighting the British. Even if the British weren’t a part of the equation, the rise of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism would make co-existence impossible, as exemplified by the 1947 fights and the 1948 civil war.
