• I didn’t mean the name of the region itself or the genetic origin of the inhabitants. I meant specifically the inhabitants that have known it as their home over the past 800 years, that are currently being very openly robbed of their home over that period.

    If I was alive and had internet during the trail of tears, I’d be saying the same. Same for the IRA, Spanish Inquisition, Armenian genocide, and every act of replacing one culture with another.

      I get what you say. The problem is that being inaccurate for protecting Palestinian claim to their land is exactly what give credit to Israel. The kingdom of Israel has a much older claim to that land. Nonetheless this is inconsequential. We do not see Norway claiming northern France, Germany claiming Poland, Poland claiming Russia or Italy claiming France and Croatia. This is just silly. Modern Israel has no more claim to that land than Germany claim to north Italy of Celtic heritage.
