Your phrasing “took from other people” ignores the fact that Arabs rejected the partition deal and kicked off a war in the region, leaving Israel mostly fighting a defensive war once the Arab armies came in. Israel won the 1948 Arab-Israeli war (again, started by invading Arabs, not Israel), defending both its territory and its existence as a state. Massive population shifts happened all over the world in 20th-century ethnic conflicts. Why do you fixate on the ONE Jewish state in existence? Why don’t you acknowledge that Jews were forcibly expelled from many Arab and Muslim countries in the 1900s — almost a million Jews forced out of Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Morocco, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and more? And since you have such strong feelings about the creation & existence of Israel, what are your thoughts on the creation & existence of Pakistan? Pakistan is one of about fifty (50) Muslim-majority nations today. Pakistan’s creation involved one of the largest migrations in history, with Muslims moving into Pakistan displacing over 10 million people —and also accompanied by widespread communal violence, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Why do you have no issue with yet another Arab state displacing millions of other people who were living there first, yet you have such a problem with Jewish people having and defending the ONE majority-Jewish nation in existence (which Jews also do have a strong historical claim to)? You’re also ignoring that Palestinian leaders have rejected pretty much every major two-state offer, ever (including in 1937, 1947, 2000, and 2008), but moreover, you’re ignoring that there has been zero indication that current Palestinian leadership would accept any solution that actually (a) ends the conflict and (b) recognizes Israel.
