Then the nation cannot have a claim. That simple.

Like the Jews. But according to you they don't matter because Jewish.

> Jews and Christians and Muslims were neighbors and brothers.

And now the militant factions of one of those wants to commit genocide and you support them.

>The UN, a bunch of white colonizing nations

Like the Syrian Arab Republic (charter member, but you didn't know that).

>It doesn’t matter who lived on that land 2000, 3000, however many years ago. You cannot go to someone’s home and say my ancestors lived here 3000 years ago so I’m taking it back now.

What is the statute of limitations?

> If that was the case for even 400 years ago, America wouldn’t be a country.

Nothing would be a country because everything has been captured by somebody at some point.

> Now, they collectively punish all Palestinians living in Gaza with a blockade that controls water, electricity, construction materials, access to their air and sea space, natural resources, etc.

Which would stop at any time with a pro.ise to stop trying to exterminate the Jews and punish people who try instead of affording them nation hero status.

> 57% of Gaza children are anemic and 90% of the water is unsafe to drink. You’re quick to brush this off as a failed gamble, but it is a cold and calculated move.

Easy fix. They stop advocating genocide and figure out a way to share the region, problem solved. Launching rockets at civilians does not make them good guys, nor does it encourage cooperation.

> They even calculated the caloric intake required to keep people on the brink of starvation but wouldn’t die.

Citation needed. This is Alex Jones level of conspiracy nutzo-ness.

In 2008 Israel set to ensure just under 2,300 calories/day per person which is on the brink of starvation for nobody.

> “The idea is to put the Palestinians 2008a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.”

Who are you quoting? And since when is 2,279 calories a diet?

>These are not actions that the good guy takes.

Do I need to link to videos of Palestinian actions and let you avoid having to ignore them because they are indefensible?
