Timeline-wise, the Palestinians were there long before the Israelis in modern Israel. I don't think forcing them out is a reasonable starting point. At best, that becomes a perpetual shame like the US treatment of native Americans.

Personally, I look to Ireland and England as a potential model. People have been conflating Hamas and Gaza in this thread... At the height of the Troubles, more Irish supported the IRA than Palestinians support Hamas, and I don't think anyone ever suggested the solution was to relocate the Irish.

The non consentual sterilization of tens of thousands of Native American women by Americans was completely justified and justifiable?

The destruction of language and culture via Indian schools was completely justified and justifiable?

That's an opinion I and many others disagree with.


The Palestinians in Gaza and the entirety of Palestine trace their roots to 3000+ years ago actually.


Arafat was Egyptian


Wikipedia: Yasser Arafat[a] (4 or 24 August 1929 – 11 November 2004), also popularly known by his kunya Abu Ammar,[b] was a Palestinian political leader


Yasser Arafat was Egyptian. He was born there and his tribe is there. He's as Palestinian as every Turk or Houthi.

It's public knowledge.

Also Wikipedia is known for it's progressive stance. Can't trust it for anything that intersects with culture war issues where everything is a conspiracy.


You can probably trust Wikipedia when it says that Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt to Palestinian parents.


Arafat was born in Egypt to Egyptian parents. I knew where he was born since before Wales had the idea.


He was Palestinian. It's public knowledge. Secondly, let's say he's from Mars, does that maean the rest of the millions of Palestinians are also all Martians? LOL


I'm sure I'm misreading you; you didn't intend to say you can't trust Wikipedia because it doesn't indulge conspiracy theories, but I'm having a hard time understanding your meaning in any other form. Can you clarify?


Wikipedia overdoes it's claims that things are conspiracy theories. While people publicly promote those things.
