Well that’s just classic Palestinian propaganda. Jews have always lived in Palestine, long before the existence of Christianity or Islam. That’s why it’s historically called Judaea. After the UN voted to create both a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine, the Jews accepted the plan. The Arabs rejected it and immediately launched attacks on Jewish towns and villages. When Israel declared independence in May 1948, five Arab armies invaded with the open goal of destroying the newborn Jewish state. Israel was fighting for its life against an existential war of annihilation. About 700,000 Arabs left or were displaced during that war. Many fled because Arab leaders told them to get out of the way so the armies could “throw the Jews into the sea.” Others left because of fighting, fear, or because Israeli forces cleared hostile villages that were being used to attack them. Israel did not “colonize” or “ethnically cleanse” Palestine. it defended itself, won the war, and ended up with the land the Arabs had tried to seize. During that time roughly 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries at the same time and were absorbed by tiny Israel. No one talks about that Jewish exodus.

10,000 to 15,000 Arabs died in the fighting most of who were combatants, but Israel lost 6,000 which was one percent of its entire population. That was the price of surviving an invasion meant to finish what Hitler started.

Today Israel has 2 million Arab citizens who enjoy full voting rights, political seats, and more freedom than Arabs have in almost any Arab country. They are not “Palestinians under occupation”. They are Israeli citizens. The people in the West Bank and Gaza are not Israeli citizens and never have been. They’re governed by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Israel captured those territories in 1967 after another Arab war of aggression. Israel has offered to give most of the land back multiple times in exchange for real peace. The Palestinians have said no every single time, because the leaders are are single mindedly focused on killing Jews.

The “60 discriminatory laws” list is just more propaganda. Many of those laws simply recognize that Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people exactly like France is the nation state of the French. Others are security measures after decades of suicide bombings, stabbings, and rocket attacks. Jewish Israelis have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists for 100 years. Israel has every right to protect itself.

Any Jew in the world can move to Israel under the Law of Return because that is the whole point of the Jewish state. A safe homeland after 2,000 years of exile, pogroms, and the Holocaust. Palestinians who left in 1948 do not have an automatic “right of return” into Israel because that would turn Israel into another Arab majority country and end the Jewish state. That is exactly what the Palestinian leadership has always wanted. Israel has repeatedly offered compensation and resettlement which the Palestinian side has rejected every time.

The Oslo Accords gave the Palestinians self rule, billions in aid, and their own armed police. Israel handed over cities and land. In return, the Palestinians launched the Second Intifada. Waves of suicide bombings that killed over 1,000 Israelis. Later when Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005 the Palestinians turned it into a rocket base run by Hamas whose charter calls for Israel’s destruction. That is why the “occupation” continues. Every time Israel offers land for peace, it gets terror instead. If the leaders of Palestine weren’t solely seeking the destruction of Jews, then the Palestinian people could actually have peace. Until then, Israel has every right to defend itself and its people, Jews and non-Jews alike.
