    Again, nobody cares where the jews were when the Roman Empire existed. In that logic we need to roll back the entirety of the last several hundred years. That’s patently ridiculous.

    It’s also ridiculous to say Britain won it so now Isreal gets to exist, when the Irgun drove the British out. It’s doubly ridiculous because all of the other colonial projects from the early 1900’s have been devolved to the indigenous people. And no, you’re not indigenous to an area after living abroad for 2000 years. What makes this slice of the Ottoman empire special?
