The world has it. COMPLETLY backwards and is accusing the wrong people of occupation
There are physical facts that establish that the Arabs have NO business residing in Israel that the world ignores..
So lets FOCUS on these FACTS in the following illustration.. and yes lets GET RID of and end the occupation of Israel at our earliest opportunity to do so..
So when ANYONE accuses the Jews of Israel as being occupiers or colonizers what I want you do is to refer to this set of FACTS to rely upon who has the right to every square inch of Israel ... and who has NO right what so ever to this land..
In the coming months this will become VERY important in how the world moves forward to bring a final lasting peace to the Middle East that is BASED on FACTS. .

It has been a long time since I read a Bible but I seem to recall it has the Hebrews describing their own version of their history as essentially a motley collection of tribes who coalesced as one society, were more or less nomadic for a time then colonised their "land of milk and honey" (poetic metaphor for "fertile"). Wherever that really was, what of the original inhabitants of land even the largely-Judaic Bible calls "Palestine"?
The modern "Israel" did not exist before 1948 when the UN or its League of Nations predecessor, perhaps in a clumsy act of atonement for the Nazi regime, took an older British idea, removed the UK's protection of Palestine against the expansionst Turks and carved out the territory for it. Never mind all the unfortunate Arabic Palestinians evicted from their own land, in the process and since then by creeping take-over by "settlers", as a result.
And now we wonder why this bitterness and bloodshed, including Hamas' vile attack on the music festival, continues; stoked by extremists among the Israelis and by bandits like Hamas..
It won't stop until both lots recognise each other has its own right of own nation. One other thing that may help is for Israel to move its capital and foreign diplomats back to Tel Aviv, restoring Jerusalem's previous fairly-neutral status - whatever the USA or any other country might say about that.
