    Some did, but the whole point of Israel was a place for European countries to send their Jewish populations.

    People who even if they were also ethnically Semitic, were descended from people who voluntarily left the area generations ago.

    They could have immigrated there, instead European governments just declared it was theirs now.

    Like, imagine if every American with Irish heritage were granted birthright citizenship there and the people who never left are shoved down into an ever shrinking slice of land. That’s what’s happening

      There have been forced deportations from that area for millenia. They’re talked about in the Bible and the Romans did it.

        Weird then how the majority of Palestinians are a genetically unbroken set of lineages from before the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Some deportations from very specific areas happened, like from Jerusalem to the West Bank during Roman rule.

          I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make…I was just pointing out that “voluntarily leaving what is now Israel” is wildly misleading and wrong

            My point is you’re incorrect. Jews have continuously lived in what is now Israel for 4000 years.

              Where did I say anything about Jews not living there continuously? Idk what you’re talking about now
