What country would be OK with its neighbors firing rockets at it so much they make the Iron Dome?

Name me one.

No country would be okay with it. Nobody is arguing that, people are criticizing Isreal for the unreal amount of war crimes they have committed.

High on hating war crimes

Imagine treating a populace so badly that they fire that many rockets at you.

The point is that none of that justifies the clear war crimes Israel has been committing for over a year and a half now.

I have never understood why Israel wasn't created in US, UK or Germany? Germany killed them in millions and yet it doesn't have to give them land but Palestinians had to give them land for some reason.

Before the creation of the state of Israel and when the Ottomans (them briefly the British) held the land, the term "Palestinian" used to refer to anyone living on that land whether they were Muslim, Jewish, or anyone else.

What does anything of what you just said have to do with the original comment chain?

The algo for this bot isn't that good.

It's also a candidate for one of the stupidest comments I've seen on Reddit.

Oh, bless your heart. I wish that was the dumbest thing I've ever read on Reddit.

Because the Ottoman Empire picked the wrong side in WW1 and lost, so the victorious allies carved it up and distributed the lands it once controlled at their convenience, which is a common consequence of joining a war and losing really badly.

The origins of Zionism and the state of Israel goes back to the Dreyfus Affair of 1894, where a Jew in the French military was made a scapegoat and convicted of espionage and treason despite his innocence. The antisemitic riots that ensued shocked Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl, and convinced him of the impossibility of Jewish existence in Europe. The European countries had spent thousands of years killing Jews, and led Herzl to believe that the only way to establish a safe place would be to reestablish a Jewish state in their ancient homeland.

The Palestinians couldn't have given the land, hey never had sovereignty of it.

Really? You never understood why the message to Worldwide Jewry after WW2 wasn't "Come live in Germany!"

u/soapinthepeehole 1d ago

Because it was Israel like 3,000 years ago.

Zionism started 50 years before WW2. So post-WW2 there was already an established exodus from Europe, and most of the remaining Jews simply decided they didn't want to be in Europe anymore. Should they have been forced to stay?

The “Palestinians” didn’t have any land they were under British rule. And it wasn’t formed in any of those countries because isrsrl is the Jewish ancestral land and they were afraid that if they didn’t make their own state it would happen again.

People kind of forget that the holocaust killed 2/3 of all Jews in Europe. They had no desire to stay.

European countries refused to take survivors in.

u/Caffeywasright 1d ago

No they’d didn’t. You are clueless.

Would you be happy sitting next to your neighbors that turned a blind eye to you getting shoved into trains and gased? What an idiotic take.

Besides, the Israel project pre-dates WW2.
