@samueltyler2 israel didnt exist, ithen britian gave some land to thgem, immediately they started to fight the british, then naved palestine, hense th 'occupied terrotiros' which ar ein palestine, now israel shoots people trying to get food,

@kittee sorry, you totally have your history incorrect. There may be a sliver of reality, but mostly incorrect. Israelites were occupiers of the land for thousands of years, as were the Arabs. The British were one of the occupiers of the land, during its colonial era. Before that many claimed the land as their. I suggest you are young enough to actually study the history.

@samueltyler2 wh cares who had what thousand sof years ago, shall uk give it back to the roman sor vikings, no, ive never heard of a army shooting people starving for food, the world knows what israel is doing,

@kittee you are mixing up things and no one is saying they approve of people shooting noncombatants!

@kittee The first Jewish refugees (and they were refugees, not "settlers") arrived in what is now Israel during the Ottoman period, and purchased (not "stole") land from the people who owned it. After the First World War, the area fell under the British mandate, and more Jews began arriving. Maybe you haven't studied what was going on in Europe in the 1930s, but if you don't know, I recommend studying it.

After WWII, the British wanted to get out of the Mandate, and it was obvious that the Jews and Arabs weren't getting along, so the UN voted to partition the land between the two groups based on where they were living. Immediately upon independence, the armies of several Arab states attacked the newly-formed Israel with the stated intention of finishing what Hitler started. Unexpectedly, the Jews fought back so successfully that they ended up with more land than originally planned, and the Palestinians ended up as part of Egypt and Jordan. Oddly enough, they didn't demand their own state at that time. The Arabs who ended up in Israel became Israeli citizens. In the years following, almost one million Mizrahi Jews were ethnically cleansed from their communities in other Middle Eastern and North African countries, and most of them ended up in Israel. This brings us to the early 1950s. If you don't understand what happened up to then, good luck figuring out what happened since then.

@kittee @LeopoldBloom great reply and short history lesson

@samueltyler2 Part of a wider problem is no real history is being taught in schools OR colleges anymore. The only history being taught is what happened at the mall three weeks ago.

@LeopoldBloom what about occupied terrotiroes
