There was a strong desire for a Jewish state in Palestine

Unfortunately a population had been living there for thousands of years…

And they weren’t stoked at being forced out at gunpoint 70 years ago.

If that was too long ago that they don’t have a claim, why was a much older one good enough to found Israel?

Hell, the Jewish texts said they moved there after Egypt, why weren’t they given Egypt? Why pick a random place some of their ancestors may have moved to that already had people living there at the time?

The formation of Israel and Pakistan was just a bunch of Europeans deciding religious segregation would be a good thing. It obviously wasn’t and there’s no reason to keep trying it. Religious ethnostates are not a good plan.

And as long as they exist (especially when one gets a mutual holy land) these wars will keep happening
