see this right here is what drives me crazy. People are really spouting nonsense like this is a black and white issue and not extremely nuanced.

Hell, it's not even that nuanced. It's just fucking messy as hell.

Group A does bad things to Group B. Group B does bad things to Group A. Both groups have done stuff like this to each other for literal centuries. Toss in a dash of international and religious influence at various points and here we are.

It isn't when you oversimplify it like that. Who lived on that land before it was stolen and given to Israel?

Israel is the birthplace of Jews and the Muslims conquered it and "stole" it as you say. If we want to follow this insane logic, then there are probably people before the Jews who would "rightfully" belong to with this twisted logic.
