How is the restoration of Israel as a country wrong?
If Israel had not been attacked and scattered, they wouldn't have needed to be restored to their own country. They'd have never left it, they'd still be there.
What is wrong with giving people back their own country? Isn't it just a form of reparations?
And besides, when Jews started going back, Israel was still a wasteland. There's a reason nobody lived there for a long time.
“How is the restoration of Israel as a country wrong?”
In the 1930s there were less than 50,000 Jews and 500,000 other peoples in the region now called Israel. Through the post war US based Zionist movement that saw mass immigration and militant takeovers of land that number swelled to 7 million and the demographics of the region changed radically. Prior to the founding of Israel, Jews were scattered to the winds and settled all over the world with nothing essentially tying them to that particular place, due to the destruction of their temple and priesthood. Muslims have an active major mosque built on top of the ruins of the Jewish temple and the Christians have Bethlehem as a pilgrimage site . So there many claims to that region . If only one narrative is permitted there will never be peace.
