Well, if memory serves from what they told me on the heritage trip, the Israelis were kicked out pre Jesus, when they were defeated by… Someone ( me memory ain’t always the best) and said someone gave the land to a different set of enemies, bastardizing the name of enemies into Palestinians. So we’re talkin about a much longer chunk of time, like less than 500 vs 2400 years, and as far as I remember ( could be wrong) the Palestinians we’re the ones to kick them out, jus a different enemy. Also the indigenous people aren’t bombing hospitals and food aid in hopes of pushing whitey back into the ocean, but do I think we owe reparations to them, among others, including that of more land? Absolutely. Does this include if it were to displace me? Sure. It would suck but ya know, if it was done above board and peacefully, not much I can do. Anything involving war crimes though would instantly loose my sympathy.
Sorry i wasnt very clear. I mean I believe the reverse. The USA was originally largely the pilgrims who were kicked out of the UK (specifically east midlands) due to religious persecution, in the same way that jews largely fled to Israel after persecution in other middle eastern countries.
But why wouldn’t you therefore return the USA to native Americans who also experienced war crimes, or perhaps Canada to the inuits

Israel was created due to Jewish people being persecuted in Europe (Nazis), not the middle east. There were jewish people living in the region before.

Cool thats not why israel was created. Its a manifestation of western guilt.
