The Jews lived in their land for over a thousand years before a large part were dispersed by the Romans. The Jews nevertheless remained a people - a nationality. It makes sense because you're a Jew if your mother was a Jew or if you were adopted into the "tribe" by arduous and lengthy conversion: Jews are a people, Judaism is our religion.

After WWI the victors decided that the defeated empires - Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian/German, and Russian - would have their component nationalities divided into respective nation-states. International law - the Treaty of Sevres and the Palestine Mandate - released Jews from loyalty to the Ottoman sovereign, declared Palestine the "Jewish National Home" and explicitly called for "close settlement" of the Land by Jews. It was thus only natural for many Jews to return to their homeland, too - about half of Israel's population had great-grandfathers who either lived in The Land or in Muslim-majority countries (including some from Pakistan.) In this context, Israel is just as legitimate as the Czech Republic, Greece, or Lebanon.

Not really most are grand kids of migrants who were settled here by the europeans

Locals converted you fled(centuries ago) now all of a sudden locals are outsiders cuz they converted?

 

[LfcRed]

Point number 5 is totally wrong as well as your poor attempt to justify your occupation in the 10th point. No one will be conned with your own distortion of the truth anymore. You need to read the Quran before claiming it as a fact that jerusalem is not mentioned in it.

 

[Zibago]

What is the cutoff date upto which settlers are allowed in order to claim a land as theirs? Pakistanis enthusiastically deny their South Asian heritage and proudly claim to be settlers from Persia, Arabia, Afghanistan, Central Asia, etc. By that token....

Last time i checked many Pakistanis had Cheema,Achakzai,Dar,Leghari at the end of their names and as far as i remember they are not mid east tribes

Many is not all. Then you are stating that all Pakistanis originated in the Indian subcontinent itself?

Many did but there were many outsiders and just for the record half of Pakistan is outside South Asia

Similarly, the Jews who were already living in Palestine were the anchor.

What was their % about a century ago in the lands that make up Israel?

 

[ebrahym]

the terrorism was born with israel.... instability in arab world and middle east started from israel............ israel can gain a great respect only if they accept two nation formulae and give up west bank and gaza ......... and can share Jerusalem and becomes the leader of peacefull earth

 

[Zibago]

30% in 1946. Enough to necessitate a separate state.



Who invited Pakistan to the party?

I am talking about a century ago and 1946 is after the european migration

Israel is the only country in ME which genocides Palestinians. Deserve the nobel prize for their barbarism. They dwarfed the Hitler in barbarism.
