Given how often humans move around to new homes (voluntarily or not), clearly, historical claims are meaningless (which applies equally to Jewish claims, IMO). On the other hand, recent injury - and rude evictions - are harder to forget. It took a long time for an accomodation to be made in Northern Ireland. Lets hope it happens faster in Israel.

Where else would the people who lived there for thousands of years call home?

Again, don’t ask the evicted to say their former homes are now a homeland for another people. That’s crazy.

Had they been actually willing to live in peace with the Jews, they would not have been evicted.
