"Palestinian inhabitants were not acknowledged in the Balfour Declaration." Yes, they were. By your own admission, they were acknowledged as the non-Jewish inhabitants of the land and extended protection of their civil and political rights.

"Like other white Europeans, they felt a sense of entitlement over the world." Nope. Like all other peoples on earth, Zionists felt a sense of entitlement to THEIR OWN HOMELAND and understood that they had a right to take it back from the colonialist overlords, the Turks and Arabs who had control of it.

If you ever feel stupid, just remember there are some out there who believe there is such a thing as a "Palestinian" or that there ever was such a place as "Palestine."

The more pertinent question is, why are you so obsessed with Israel's existence? Do you regularly make videos about Pakistan's or China's right to exist? Do you object to actual "settler colonial" states, like Liberia? Do you object to states that actually commit apartheid, like all of the Arab countries where Jews are forbidden to dwell?

Israel did not need a "metropole" for the simple reason that Israel was not, is not, and has never been a colony. It is the eternal homeland of the Jewish people and not a colonial project of Britain, the United States, or any other country.

Nope. Israel is and always was the homeland of the Jewish people, who have as much right to it as the Irish have to Ireland or the Poles have to Poland. History and archaeology have established 3000 years of Jewish connection to the land of Israel. We, not the "Palestinians," are the indigenous people of Israel.

Zionist militias never perpetrated the "Nakba" for the simple reason that the Nakba never occurred. Arab leaders told the Arabs to leave after they started the 1948, giving them promises that they would be able to return in a matter of days or weeks after the Jewish state was defeated and the Jews cast into the sea. Zionist fighters did not perpetrate an "ethnic cleansing" and were in no way obligated to allow back into Israel people who refused to live in peace with Israeli Jews.

@meretricioussimp7759 Historical fact doesn't care about your antisemitic feelings, dear heart.

@shamim621 Dear heart, that's basically the claim every other nationality makes to its homeland: we've lived here a long time. You're just upset that the people making the claim in Israel are Jews and that their claims are even older than most of the other nations on earth that make the same claim.

How did the British destroy a "Palestinian society" or "Palestinian economy" that never existed in the first place?

@Phoenix-pe2gf A people can't "occupy" its own homeland, dear heart, and Israel is just that: the HOMELAND of the Jewish people.
2
@Phoenix-pe2gf There were nowhere near millions of Arabs living in the land. There was not a single "Palestinian" living there as no "Palestinians" existed before Yasser Arafat invented the "Palestinian" people in the 1960s.

@MrMabloom Be careful about giving these people facts. They don't understand what they are, and you'll only confuse them.

The eternal homeland of the Jewish people and the only democracy in the Middle East.

@arifabd Wow. Ignorance of history, racism, and antisemitism all in one three-sentence post. Your schoolteachers must be so proud.
1
@arifabd Yeah, see, there are books written by actual historians as opposed to Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappe, or whatever self-hating Jew spewing lies you get your ideas of Jewish and Zionist history from. So take your own advice and crack open a book.

@jameswilliam26 Dear heart, we know perfectly well where our ancestors are from. They're from Israel. Stop kidding yourself that we care about your assessments of our authenticity or that Israel is going anywhere.

@arifabd Yeah, see, when you post antisemitic claptrap, YouTube identifies it as antisemitic claptrap and removes it. The solution is to stop posting antisemitic claptrap.

@AbdoMSG You have images of Arabs older than 80 years. No such thing as a "Palestinian" exited until Yasser Arafat invented the fake nation of "Palestine" in the 1960s.

@omeritzics And not even the West Bank.

Yes, one-sided anti-Zionist and antisemitic propaganda alike this always makes me angry too.

How can a country and people that never existed be "occupied?"

@Mastersharkmapping I'm sorry you choose to believe such antisemitic claptrap. Praying for your return to the reality based community and common decency.

Your point being?
