This is where it gets really muddy. The people in that area that are indigenous include the Jews, and as a culture they are probably the oldest continuous culture in that regin with clear ties to the ancient history of the place. So you can't exclude them any more then you can exclude the other native Palestinian groups - Muslims, Druze, Christians who have roots going back centuries. They all have rights of place. Why are Jews excluded from this right?Really, the indigenous people disagree as explained above,and the European immigration did not substantially impact those who already lived there
Look at the numbers and you tell me.You also had immigration of Arabs from surrounding countries who came for the jobs. Why is one bad and the other not?
This is the best source I've found for this - it pretty debunks the idea that Jews displaced Palestinians and it also debunks the competing claim that the Arab Muslims were all foreign invaders: MidEast Web - Population of Palestine
Because the zionists came from another continent behind an army. They were not wanted after the first wave.The Pan Arab Nationism vs the Jewish Nationalism. I'm curious why no one has a problem with Arab nationalism resulting in states while the same goal for Jewish Nationalists is condemned.
I'm not sure what you mean.The native Jews have always been accepted as Palestinians. This was a part of the PLO charter.The people in that area that are indigenous include the Jews,
The native Jews refuse. They're overwhelmingly for Jewish control.
Do You have anything on the contrary?
