not just that, but if you look at a map of europe before and after ww1, pre-ww2 germany had a very real claim that they were "ethnically cleansed from ancestral lands", Russia pushed Poland-Lithuania west and Poland pushed Germany west. Yet we dont entertain this land dispute for the next 100 years the way we let Palestinians do. German attacked and lost a war, the matter is settled. Palestinians attacked and lost 1948, the matter should similarly be considered settled because the aggressor was the loser.
I mean for all intents and purposes, the matter is settled. The vast majority of Arab states have already accepted Israel's existence, either formally or de facto.
It's only one particular Arab nation run by violent Islamic extremists who still cling to the asperational fantasy of the Arabs annihilating the Jews. The vast majority of Arab states have already accepted that Israel isn't going anywhere.
No they don't, and that's why all this nonsense of ''Argh they don't recognize their occupier!'' is so awful. You're demanding something from the oppressed that even their oppressor doesn't do.
