So the British took it from the Arabs...
Muslim but not Arab. The Ottoman Empire was mostly Turkish.
And, of course, the Ottomans acquired Israel by defeated the Mamluks, who in turn acquired it from . . . wait for it . . . Christians. The Christians moved in during the reign of the Roman Empire, which in turn acquired the territory by conquest.
Yup. You can trace any people you want to find on the planet, and you'll find it very difficult to find any who didn't displace somebody else when they carved out their niche in the world and very few nations exist that didn't have to fight or deal with the population already there in order to become a nation.
To accuse the Israelis of unfairly displacing others and not equally condemning every other people who have ever displaced somebody smacks of Antisemitism, pure and simple.
