"what? Itâs because of Netanyahu and his policies that hurt Palestinians and exclude them in many ways."
Palestinian policies is what both hurts and excludes palestinians.
They have been claiming their actions are the result of not having a state. What most people do not realize is that when Jews declared independence and established the Jewish state of Israel in 1948, the Arabs in palestine could have at that same time, established an Arab state.
Instead, those Arabs and the neighboring Arab nations; chose to go to war and destroy the fledgling State of Israel.
Thus, there will never be a state as a direct result of the the fact that the palestinians, which never had a state in the land to begin with, the land that is the historical home of the Jews, and the land of Israel in perpetuity; because those people choose war, the destruction of Israel and no State in the land, rather than peace.
The reason they don't want a state in the land, and especially a Jewish state of Israel; is because the State of Israel proves the Bible as a whole, to be true, and their Koran false, and that is simply unacceptable to them.

"You do know that Israeli settlements evict indigenous people, right? i.e., the retaliation. Just think of Native Americans, and you might get it. "
In 136 AD, Emperor Hadrian, after expelling the majority of Jews from the land of Israel; decreed the name of the land to be "Seria-Palestinia". That over time was shortened to Palestine.
God's removal of the Jews from the land was for a limited time and in no uncertain terms did God intend that the Jews would remain out of the land permanently.
When Mark Twain toured the land in the late 1890's, he stated that the land was so barren that one could barely meet out a living. It was not until after 1897, when the Jews began returning to the land that the land began to be fruitful again.
The Jews would move to the land; pay exorbitant prices for worthless sand, and through hard work and technological know how; restore the land to fruitfulness and begin growing food. At that point, the Arabs that sold the Jews the land would accuse them of stealing the land.
During the British mandate, every charge of land theft against Jews was investigated by the British authorities, and every charge was determined to be false.
This brings us to the two problems with your assertion;
1) The Arabs claiming to be Palestinian are not necessarily indigenous people, they are mostly Arabs that immigrated to the area from foreign lands and expected to steel ownership of the land from the Jews after Israel was defeated in the wars of those time. Defeats that did not happen. They took a gamble and they lost.
As far as the evictions are concerned, those individuals that were evicted were evicted because they refused to pay rent to those that hold the legal title to the land and have held the legal titled to the land since the days of the Ottoman Empire.
No one was simply removed from the buildings. The eviction came after years of litigation in the courts and the squatters lost.
Here's an easy solution to prevent eviction; if you don't want to be evicted from what you consider to be your home; then pay the deed or title holders, the real owners of the land; rent.
2) God dispossessed native Americans from the land that is the United States of America in the same way that He dispossessed all the nations that dwelt in the land of Canaan prior to His giving that land to the Children of Israel (the Jews). It doesn't matter how many generations that an Arab clan has lived in the land of Israel prior to Israel's rebirth in 1948. The land belongs to the Jews by Covenant decree of God almighty in heaven. There is absolutely no way anyone can keep the entire land of Israel from being restored to the Jewish nation. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
It is your prerogative as a human with free will to oppose every good work that God almighty is doing in His intentional actions to restore the land of promise to those whom He promised the land. Just don't be surprised when the day comes and you find that you have been sentenced to an eternity of agonizing torment in the lake of fire.

"Try this:
- prove God wants to be worshiped"
It's human nature to worship a higher power.
This is proven by following;
1) People worshiped idols.
2) Today, people worship government.
3) Totalitarian regimes in which people worship government, the leader or leaders often require the people to worship them.
4) People worship the famous. Look at some of the screaming fans during beetle mania, or Michael Jackson. They are worship their idols.
Certainly, if the God created in us the desire to worship; one can conclude it is because He desires us to worship Him.
"- prove there is a heaven and hell, or any afterlife"
The only way to truly prove that is to kill you and then raise you from the dead.
"- prove the magic stories in the bible are true"
Archaeological finds in Israel have proven that the stories in the old testament are historical events. The fact that you refuse to believe that science indicates a lack of sincerity on your part.
"- of the thousands of religion that exist, prove which one is correct"
How about the religion in which ancient prophesies come to pass in our day.
Daniel 7:4: The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Look at the UN's November 9, 2021 post.
A new statue was erected at the UN.
Read the description of the first beast that Daniel saw in his vision, then go to the UN November 9, 2021 post at the link below.
A bit on the creepy side don't you think?
I mean, do they really think that statue is going to defend international peace?

"- prove that god still exists"
Proving that God exists is more so dependent upon the person wanting the proof. Jesus Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, yet was rejected by the people of His day.
If you are unwilling to accept any evidence or argument that God exists, then no one can prove to you that God does indeed exist.
Many atheists have set out to prove God does not exist, and to prove that the Bible is a myth, yet, during the course of their research to prove that God does not exist, repented and became Christians.
Many Muslims in Islam controlled countries in the middle east have converted to Christianity as the result of a dream or a vision of Jesus Christ. Such conversions are illegal and put their safety and their life in jeopardy.
How about proving that the lake of fire exists?
There are two contenders.
1) The molten center of the earth.
2) The Sun.
Both are lakes of fire.
However, if it was the sun, it is likely the author would have mentioned the sun.
A lake of fire on the earth however, would only appear to be a lake of fire.
Revelation 19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
"If you cannot prove any of that, then the issue of the existence of a god, or gods, is academic."
Two more points; who said it is on us to prove that God exists?
The overwhelming majority of the people on earth believe that there is a God.
This belief is the historical norm.
You are the accuser and that being the case; the burden is on you to prove that God does not exist. The thing about that is; you have a greater difficulty proving that God does not exist, than one who has experienced God first hand.
Again, the person demanding proof is in fact the problem, not that there has never been proof.
Those that receive legitimate, instant healing do not need any further proof than their restored health. This legitimate, instant healing is disregarded by those that demand proof God exists.
What of those that have seen visions and dreamed dreams?
What of someone like myself that has dreamed a dream that came to pass several months in the future after having forgotten the dream, yet was reminded of the dream when an individual made a statement that was made in the dream?
What of someone like myself that, being threatened by a charging dog, was saved by an invisible hand that struck the dog in the side?
The fact that you are unwilling to accept the living witnesses that God has placed in the earth shows a lack of sincerity on your part.
A sincere person would hear of these things and search them out to determine if those bearing witness were sincere in their witness. A sincere person would also look to see if there were any religious commonalities between the many experiences which would indicate an influence by the same God.
And if these things only happen to Christians; that leads you to Jesus Christ.
