That's not the argument you think it is at all.
Sure, historically historically Jewish people were expelled from their homes or massacred, and that is a horrible thing. That doesn't mean that they get to do the same thing to other people. Regardless of whether they think they came from a certain place or that they think they are entitled to live in a place because they have converted to Judaism that in no way means they get to live there over the rights of the people living there. Ill tell you what, if every single Jewish immigrant can tell us the name of their ancestor that lived there and prove it with some kind of documentation then I will agree that they have some right to live there. Otherwise its just a free for all which is what has been going on for a long time. I mean really, thats a pretty simple thing. If someone came up to your house and said that is my land you would want some kind of evidence right? That is the rule of law. If the land you own was stolen and it could be proven then, hey, they have a right to that claim in some form or another. Of course you have rights also. None of this is happening in Israel. The people that decided that Israel should be a Jewish country took it and then defended it by force. If anything the Jewish inherent right to the country was that they could keep it by force. By force. What happened to the Jewish people in WW2 is beyond any bad thing I can say. There are no words that I can utter that can adequately describe the horror and inhumanity that befell the Jewish people at that time. None. All of any that I can think of pales to what actually happened. That doesnt mean they get to kick a people out a place cause they thing that is their homeland.
