    No, it started in 1949.

    The idea that there’s anything coherent about Zionist justifications for a modern-day Israel based on thousands-year old scripture is pure and absolute white supremacist and antisemitic hogwash.

      No it didn’t and people’s ignorance of when the modern portion of this conflict even started speaks volumes.

      Also if we want to play the game of who was there first-est and thus whose land does it rightly belong to then the archaeological record is also pretty illuminating. We can go back thousands of years in actual history and determine this. I don’t like these arguments though.

      The only good ultimate answer to this conflict is a 2 state solution and an end to the war and suffering.
