    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.

          You see, we can’t win everything. Hence why we cannot “win” Palestine from the river to the sea.

              So far the international court has not decided on the genocide case, so it’s incorrect to accuse them of genocide now.

                The UN definition is public knowledge. It’s not like it’s a secret we have to wait for the clerics to decipher. What they’re doing meets the definition.

                  Not necessarily, proving the intention is the key to genocide accusations and it’s quite tough to prove.

                    Because half the ministry and the PM saying they need to clear it out and settle it isn’t proof of intent?
