The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all
Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

Israel was never a country either. Yet here we are.

Even if there wasn’t, Israel was created by jews that came from all over the world where a lot of people was already living on it, while current palestinian are decendents of pre-israel population
some jews managed to stay and survive in israel for thousands of years.
in addition to jews who came back to israel throughout the years like in the 1600’s, 1800’s and later on also in the 1900’s before israel’s rebirth.
I mean, there have been Jewish folks In the region before the modern state of Israel.
But yeah you’re right in that Israel came about because of the Holocaust and the fact that zionists wanted out of Europe and Europe was antisemitic still.
I’m not saying that there where no jews before that but the jews that created the state was the jew that came frim Europe and not those who was born in the region. That’s why i said palestinian and not arabs or muslims.
The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.
That’s just semantics though.
People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.
All that has been taken away from them. I don’t care if you call it “owning a country” or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.
this is clarity you could stand to have more often
