So, a bunch of Yiddish speakers with White skin, some how had rights to displace Palestinians, because 2,000 years ago a portion of their origins comes from the region?
Complete absurdity, of Biblical proportions.
Well no. A displaced people, speaking a number of different languages, and having a variety of skin tones, and from a number of different locations they were displaced to
returned to their homeland where they all originated.
Did you want to argue that a displaced people have no right to return to their homeland?
What homeland?
It was another people's homeland for 1,400 years.
It's complete insanity, to think you had the right to displace them after that long.
In acknowledging that it was "another people's homeland" and giving the starting point of that homeland as 1400 years ago -- the time of the Arab conquest and colonization -- you are displaying your acceptance of colonialization. At least, when its Arabs doing the colonizing. You can't have it both ways. Either you accept colonialization as a valid "transfer of homeland" or you do not.
Be clear what my position is:
1. The Jewish people have a right to return to their historical homeland. ALL of them, regardless of race, language or place of Diaspora. Subject to the rules of the State of Israel.
2. The Arab Palestinian people have a right to return to their historical homeland. Subject to the rules of the (eventual, maybe) State of Palestine.
3. The Jewish people have a right to self-determination based on the culture and values of the Jewish people on part of the territory as sovereigns.
4. The Arab Palestinian people have a right to self-determination based on the culture and values of the Arab Palestinian people on part of the territory as sovereigns.
5. The Jewish people have a right to live in peace and security within their sovereign territory.
6. The Arab Palestinian people have a right to live in peace and security within their sovereign territory.
Are you sensing the theme here? BOTH peoples have the SAME rights.
There is and never was a "right" to displace peoples. On either side. Nor was there ever a "right" to colonize people. There is and was a conflict between these two peoples, largely driven by one group's intent to erase the other, in many small and large ways. The Jewish people refuse to be erased.
