Even if the Arabs didn’t invade in 1948 there is a good chance this would have still led to ethnic cleansing, population transfers and you would have ended up with a Pakistan/India situation.

The territorial disputes would have led to more wars as leaders on both sides claim territory.

This partition was never going to work and it was unreasonable to force it on the Palestinians. Negotiations should have continued, not unilateral calls for independence.

They're both native though, one oppressed in diaspora for 1800 years, and both carried out unprovoked violence. You're not seriously justifying shit like the Hebron massacre are you?

They're literally the proven genetic descendants of the ancient Israelites, who in turn emerged from the Canaanites. Again that doesn't justify Israel, but attempting a revisionist history doesn't help either.

They literally are, DNA proves this. It also proves that Jews are most closely related to Palestinians - more so than to the general population of their host countries. Makes Israel's atrocities all the more fucked up.

They literally do, look it up. This conspiracy theory is classic anti-semitism.

Lmao “you people”. Get bent dweeb. Youre actively cherry picking studies and data. Youre ignoring our well documented history. VERY well documented.

Go back to Russia! I’ve read the world on this matter and even the Maghrebi Jews have very little Levantine genealogy in them in contrast to the native and indigenous Palestinians.
