      How are Jews treated in Palestine right now? What are the goals of the major Palestinian organizations when it comes to Jews?

        I think you’re getting confused. Before the creation of Israel there were jewish palestinians, and Christian Palestinians and muslim Palestinians. And then the apartheid ethnostate of Israel was created, and israel made everyone who was not jewish a 2nd class citizen or a refugee.

        Before the creation of israel people of the three faiths were living together in Palestine.

        So i’m quite sure the problem is actually israel

          There has never been a state of Palestine. In world history. And that region has never been very stable. With populations or governments.

            All three of those riots are the result of the Balfour declaration, which is what lead to the creation of Israel.

              Ah, so you’re moving the goalposts from May 14th, 1948 to November 2nd, 1917?

              Admittedly, there seems to be fewer records of violence towards Jews in the region. Probably under a 1000 killed through violence throughout the 1800s. But there were oppressive laws set by the Ottoman regime - limiting land sales, requiring Jews to work in certain industries and forbidding them from others, etc. You know, apartheid.

                I don’t think it’s unfair to link the statement “there was less violence and hate towards Jews before Israel” with you know, actually checking dates before Israeli settlers started arriving.

                  So Israel began with Jewish settlers first arriving, the Balfour declaration, or Israeli Independence?

                  Just so I don’t waste time for you sealions.

                    If you want to debate perv this, which group was there first and can lay claim to the land? Oh look, it’s Egyptian Arabs. Source. And before you debate perv me with context. It certainly wasn’t the Jews who were first, and you know it.

              I don’t think the Philistines have any relation to the modern Palestinian population. I believe they were all killed at the end of the Bronze Age by the Sea People. Or maybe they were the Sea People. 🤷‍♂️

                No clue if they’re genetically the same people, but it’s not really important. That region has been recognized as Palestine for a long time. Any argument about statehood is just Eurocentric justification to steal land from the natives.

                  Yes, because borders, territories, and statehood are only creations of eurocentric policies. They are definitely not a natural progression of tribalism that was capable of centralizing authority in some form. I mean it isn’t like the earliest examples are largely in Asia and Africa.

                  Formalizing it for the purposes of stopping wars in the current nation state is somewhat from Europe, but existed in Asia previously in a similar form.

                  And how is it used as a justification to steal land from natives?

                  Edit: and how doesn’t it matter? Like you tried to make a point and then just said it didn’t matter when challenged. And the name being used for a region is not the same as existing as a nation or state or nation state. And what’s funny is you ignored the part about how the name started to be used for the area isn’t of Judea, because the Greeks wanted it to have a purely geographical name rather than something connected to the Jews.

                  So what you’re saying is that Palestine itself is just some eurocentric creation used to drive off the natives from Judea?
