There never was a sovereign nation known as Palestine - the powers of the world have fought for, won & lost most of the territory on earth since the Git Go (those bad evil colonials, y’know). The Brits with the cooperation of the UN were forced to deal with the millions of Jews who had nowhere to go after WW2. The so-called Palestine was carved up with a small spit given to the Jews. A much larger piece, then known as Trans-Jordan was for the Arabs. No one was forced out of Israel - they ran out rather be seen as collaborators with the Jews. Israel has had to fight to keep what it has since day 1. They have never been the aggressors, but have been repeatedly attacked. Let’s face it - the Jews have accomplished in just a few decades what the Arabs have never done in hundreds of years. Nothing happens in a vacuum. The Vatican and Catholic church is at its heart the Social Justice team, in partnership with communists and Islam against all of us Infidels.

You need to read up on the Balfour Decision. The Brits and Americans weren’t forced, all of a sudden, to consider relocating homeless Jews after WWII; they’d been working on the issue of a Jewish homeland since before WWI, offering Rhodesia and working to offer Utah (nixed after WWII by Truman). The Zionist negotiators wanted historical Israel which happened to be in then-Palestine. Before negotiations were completed, the Zionists, possibly rationionizing that the holocaust justified their impatience, rebeled against the UN forces and took, by considerable force, what became “Israel,” knowing that the UN wouldn’t dare deny them their victory. (So their nonaggressor status isn’t quite what you portray. It wasn’t until after the state of Israel was recognized that they earned the nonaggressor rep.) As to no one’s being forced out of Israel, however, untrue. Arabs (Palestinians), Brits, and Americans were very definitely forced out.

On the other hand, it can’t be denied that Zionist management of the area was/is far superior to anything the Arabs offered.

But Ratzinger associated with Social Justice, communists, and Islam? Surely, you jest. His current and prior reputation was earned by denouncing the evils and irrationality of all three.
