The Jewish homeland was formed by killing and kicking out people who were living there.
I think this comment wasn't supposed to be an argument for the existence of Israel, but rather directed at the initial premise. They are challenging the assumption that support for the Israeli state and support for the conflict in Gaza are one in the same.
As were most countries.
And the Jewish people were killed and kicked out everywhere they lived for centuries prior to that.
That not Palestinians fault.
Why not give Jews half of Germany?
As a German, I'd be fine with that. They can have the Eastern half.
Or Sitka, Alaska?
That didn't work out so well.
I read the book because my wife is from Sitka. Apparently there is a disproportionately large Jewish population in real life as well, though not nearly like in the book.
That's how it should have been handled tbh
