    instead of directly in the middle of people who hate them the most.

    It’s not even that. Zionists caused the Middle East to hate Jews.

      Yeah, nah. Their neighbors declared war on Israel the literal moment Israel was founded. They hadn’t even had time to piss anyone off.

        Because the very creation of Israel was a settler colonialist state ethnically cleansing the local population.

        I would say their neighbours had plenty to be pissed off about.

            Yes? Especially if the territory of that state is forcibly taken away from others who are living on it

            Creating the United States was similarly terrible as it involved the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Same with Australia. Same with South Africa. Same with Rhodesia.

            Forcibly taking someone’s home and cleansing an area of an ethnicity is certainly regarded as one of the worst actions a group of people can do. And rightly so

              Of course, the way Israel was created was not ideal. I do not agree that Israel should have forced people out.

              Just like many Arab countries should not have forced Jews out.

              But unfortunately, it’s not very feasible to return it to the previous state now…

                A lot of countries have a right of return. It works just fine. They may not be able to get the family farm back, but we can’t win everything.
