Why can't Europe take the Jews back so Palestinians can have Palestine?

Because the UN granted Isreal to the Jews as a homeland. A kind oc compensation for what germans did to the jews in the holocaust..And having got it back at such a price, they will never give it up again as long as a Jew draws breath, That place is Holy to them both to their God and their dead..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Let's remember our history. Jesus Christ, who was a Jew, was born in Bethlehem and grew up in Nazareth, both of which are in Israel. That place IS the homeland for the Jews.

@whowasthatmaskedman as a way to avoid repatriation for the Jews in Europe.

@Reason10 All true historic facts, whether you believe Jesus was the son of god or not. You do realise you just made the same argument for returning continental America back to the first nations people..And we both know what a stupid argument that is..Human prehistory is a series of invasions and displacements since before the Cro Magnons pushed the Neanderthals out of the way. History is a brutal SOB..But the creation of the state of Israel was the only time in history when the worlds nations got together and looked at the Jews and said "These guys deserve a break" You can see why the Jews see this as a sign from god..馃樂

The Jews are Palestinians. They were there from around 1200 BC at least. They were forced out by various peoples, including the Islamic Arabs when they invaded and treated the Jews as inferior peoples. The situation is longstanding and complex.

@MandyMitchell they're Europe. They're not wanted but it's not like we go there! Shhhh

@Roundandroundwego They lived in Israel for many centuries- a Middle Eastern people returning to their homeland. I think the first mention of them in Israel was around 1200 BC- perhaps before that.

Does that mean that Europe can send all the people there who are Middle Eastern and of Middle Eastern descent back to the Middle East?

@Roundandroundwego The Israelis are at a point where they've been born there, it's not like it was where they were settled there. So to remove them would be to remove people born in their own country.

@Allelse that's a ridiculously short time.
