re: Did Israel Steal Palestinian Land?

Originally? No. Have they been using Russian tactics of scooting the border up every so often? Yes. Anyone who says otherwise is willfully ignorant.

:iagreewiththis:

Palestine was the name given to the geographic area by Rome after they laid waste to the temple in Jerusalem.

There were Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Palestinians for the next 1800 some years until Israel became a state after WW2. At that point the Jewish Palestinians started to self identify as non-Palestinians.

Even in the 100-200 years before WW2 the Jews weren’t stealing the land, but rather legitimately purchasing the land from Palestinian Muslims.

Then came the Muslim invasion, where Israel took more land forcefully but it was a response to aggression, not “stealing” nor being greedy.

They were fine up to that point but then the Israel state started sponsoring stealing of Muslim land and “settlements” but even before that stealing started, most of the Muslims were already in the shite holes of Gaza and the West Bank.
