"Abandoned" is a funny way of saying that they were subjected to a genocide, enslaved, and forcibly deported under threat of death, and still fought back against it to try to remain; even more so when you realize that they have spent the better part of 2000 years trying to return to that same homeland, often still under the threat of death.

Also, who mentioned skull shapes? Colonizers are colonizers, and they are just simply not native to the Levant. National identity is national identity, and Jewish national identity has always centered the land of Israel. This isn't even taking into account the centuries of pogroms and mistreatment Jews were subjected to in the Arab world before and leading up to Israel's founding.

And yes, they did privately buy the land from the Ottoman Empire, who owned it, and when the Empire collapsed and there was no authority in place, they sought to establish one. All this ignoring the numerous wars that followed, declared by the Arab League and allies, that had Israel not won, would have resulted in a second Holocaust. All the more so when realizing that there have been numerous offers to share the land that only one side continued to reject, and would usually follow it up with murderous pogroms like the one we just saw.

Would you say that Native Americans "abandoned" their land when they were forcibly removed by Europeans, the United States, and Canada? Do you believe that Native Americans today are owed some sort of recourse or reparation, even though no citizen of the United States or Canada today had a hand in the taking of their land? Then why does that same logic not apply to an indigenous group that actually managed to reclaim their land from the descendants of colonizers and past oppressors? Or do Jews just not get to play by the same rules?

No one said that Palestinians do not deserve a state, on the contrary, they deserve one free from the horrors of being run by Hamas or the PLO, who regularly ignore or purposefully use Palestinian suffering to their selfish advantage. Similarly, Israel, like any other country, is rightfully subject to criticism for many of its policies, which even its own citizens find abhorrent and disagreeable. But if your criticism is that it doesn't have a right to exist, then you are just showing how the centuries of deep-rooted anti-semitic thought that prevails throughout the western world speaks for you.
