    Over 80% of the population of Israel was born in Israel. If you want them to leave then you’re talking about ethnic cleansing, not decolonization.

      Your statistic is wrong 80% of the Jewish population were born there. Jews are 73% of the population at 7.2 million which means 1.44 million weren’t born there. It isn’t about leaving or kicking people out. It is about the Israeli government was founded on false pretenses, ethnic cleansing and genocide. They owe reparations to the people who lived their before. The nation shouldn’t be Israel and shouldn’t be an ethno-state (all ethno-states are bad) it should have been Palestinian and every one should live their peacefully like they have before

        There was no ‘living peacefully’ in the region. Israel isn’t the cause of the blood shed, it’s the outcome.

          1500s until around 1947. The people of different religions lived decently peacefully amongst themselves despite all the people trying to rule them it wasn’t until the zionists wanted the region to be Israel rather than Palestinian that all this ethno cleansing and genocide began. There was riots against the government or other nations ruling them but wasn’t civil unrest. The bloodshed over the last 80 years or so is because Zionists want to create an ethno-state called Israel.
