Why do Zionist people claim that Israel is their land even though Israel hadn’t even been an independent jewish led state for 2,533 years?

Yes, the state of Israel did exist at one point prior, but at one point 2,533 years prior when it was taken over by the Kingdom of Babylon in 586 BC.

So whenever I hear things from Zionists like “the muslims and the arabs stole our land”. This is a complete fallacy and far from being historically accurate.

And even if it were true, it is still very far removed from being at any recent point in time in history.

There are no living people today, or their descendants that were personally or indirectly affected by such a move.

And the formerly majority Arab population residing in the region never even consented to the idea of there being a Jewish led state in the first place. Where they would go on to become second class citizens afforded no legal protections or civil rights.

They were not even so much as included in the talks that led to the creation of this new state. Even though they were the majority population residing in the region at the time.

Yet Israeli police mistreat these people every single day and the country itself regards them as second class citizens.

Yet they wonder why these people are angry and there are constant terrorist attacks against them.

Even though they’re continually pouring fuel on the fire by expanding settlements and occupying the west bank even though it was suppossed to be a UN backed two state solution.

So how can any person in good faith not expect retaliation from Palestinians and continuosly decide to support Israel?

Only reason I can think of is because they’re putting their own personal and political interests first.

Especially considering that the Arab and muslim majority population was never even included in the talks that established Israel as a state.

In order for a state to form, isn’t it only fair if a majority of people residing in the new proposed state actually consent to the state’s creation and actively participate in the process?

I just don’t understand how anybody can support Israel

In Israel today, A majority of Palestinians aren’t even considered legal citizens. They don’t have the right to testify in court and the government reserves the right to evict them from their homes. And neither are they allowed the right to vote or help decide the country’s future.

Muslims and Jews had been living peaceably among eachother in Palestine for years. But Israeli jews today would rather have an ethno-nationalist Apartheid state
