    It started when the colonial state of Israel was forced upon the people living in the area.

      Israel has to exist. The land was already inhabited by Jews and there were several partition offers.

          So where should all the Jews go? What if they originated from Yemen or countries similar to it? Edit: What would be your solution then? From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free? Lead by Hamas or Fatah?

            Israel is not all Jewish people, so it’s existence as a state does not change the living circumstances for Jewish people across the world.

            As for a solution, no one has the easy fix and it’s a difficult road a head as you’ll see from any post-colonial country. I can say that the process can never start while one side is unfairly oppressed and murdered however.

      Actually, it started when the Romans kicked all the Jews out and to spite them renamed the land of Israel to Roman Palestina.

        That is such a warped view on history.

        Even Herodotus was referencing the region as Syria Palaestina, 500 years prior before the Romans merged two provinces together.

        Palestine/Syria was always the name, Judea was only ever a tiny fraction of that land.

        As for the Romans kicking everyone out (realistically they murdered/enslaved most), well no shit. We all have stories of the Romans doing that to our ancestors as well, the Romans and every other empire in history are famously shitty.

        Actually, it started when ooga booga stole his best friend’s favorite rock.

        They’ve been feuding over it ever since.
