      Some did, but the whole point of Israel was a place for European countries to send their Jewish populations.

      People who even if they were also ethnically Semitic, were descended from people who voluntarily left the area generations ago.

      They could have immigrated there, instead European governments just declared it was theirs now.

      Like, imagine if every American with Irish heritage were granted birthright citizenship there and the people who never left are shoved down into an ever shrinking slice of land. That’s what’s happening

        There have been forced deportations from that area for millenia. They’re talked about in the Bible and the Romans did it.
