    He’s doing the classic anti de-colonization argument of, “well sure we got here illegally, but it would be mean to kick us out now, you’d basically be ‘colonizing’ us in reverse!”

    It’s like a home invader saying they chased you out, so they live there now, and now it’s you invading their home!

    And then of course calling 70 years “ancient history” LMFAO. Guess my dad is “ancient history”!

      Extremely true - but even that aside, if it really was as long ago as 70 years, it wouldn’t be the pressing ongoing issue that it is.

      There are Palestinians who lost their homes forever, and Israelis who ignored the UN telling them stop breaking international law, this week and last week and the week before that.
