Putin meet Okie
If a nation is attacked and then beats back the attacker, are they not entitled to some compensation? Especially as the conquered territory provides security against a subsequent attack.
I believe you'll find that Putin's "conquests' exhibit a different pattern, where he is the attacker.
If you've got a better idea, happy to hear it...
Israels founding was not quite that neat and sanitary
Contrary to wishful thinking here some Palestinians lost their property and homes who had zero to do with the “conquest”
War ain’t fair naturally and it’s pretty obvious since then who’s more morally right than the other
My opinion is formed from working in Israel with Israeli Jews who take part in the founding and were members of Hagannah and the Ergun as well as Palestinian Christians or Christian Arabs if u prefer
Approximately 8-10% were Christian Arabs
About half catholic and half Christian
When I read here that no innocent Arabs were expelled and lands and business confiscated I say to myself bullshit
No Israelis short of Kahane types but that notion
The Arabs and Druze who remained in the mandate bitders were those with the good fortune to live in uncontested areas or politically connected
Decent Arabs were caught between murdetous arabs who’d kill them for not helping or Jews who wanted their land
A hard spot
Palestinian Christians like the ones I know are erudite educated folks often more European looking and not crazy emotive in the streets thugs like the Muslim rabbits
It’s more complicated than typically acknowledged on this forum
But it’s kind of reverted the natural order now
The Christians who fought the Jews hard early on gave slowly hone to the pragmatic side in the age of hezbollah and isis
One caveat though
Israel detests Assad the minor because of his hezbollah proxy love yet Assad is best pal Christians in that shithole war have
And by extension now Putin
Course now Trump too hopefully
