Except the vast majority aren't from Europe.

The vast majority of Jews living in Israel now were born there.

Their Parents and Grandparents may have moved there.... but 70% of the Jews who live in Israel (who are 70% of the population) were born there.

So 70% of the Jews do have a historical right to be there through birth.  

 

What percentage of Palestinians in Hamas and Gaza do you think were born within Israel's borders?  Keep in mind these people have been out of there for like... 40+ years.

By your own words "very important in these matters, because if a population leaves a certain land, they no longer have any right to it"


The Palestinians have left en masse from the borders that make up the state of Israel.  So according to your arguement, they have no right to it.

The few Palestinians that stay (Something a little less then 20% of the population once you count out other arabs) are not a majority, nor ar they supressed having all the equal rights of a regular Israeli citizen.


Your own arguement is defeated by your own parameters.   (Though historical claim is dumb no matter who argues it.)

40 years isn't a lot of time. Not enough to argue for continuity. And there's also the fact that we're actually witnessing the ethnic cleansing, which doesn't help Israel's cause.
