    Not a great comparison as Brits have Britain to live in already (I’m British, if it matters).

    If you displaced the Brits from India back in the day, they could return to Britain.

    If you displace the Jews from Israel now, where could they go?

        The vast majority of Israel’s Jewish population is native-born at this point. They have no connection to those countries. They likely don’t even speak the language. I do not see how that would be a good solution.

            What if the countries their ancestors came from don’t want to take them and the Palestinians don’t want them there either? I don’t think it is a solution.

            My solution would be put the whole area under UN control until something equitable can be worked out that will make people at least satisfied. They won’t be happy, but they could be satisfied if they were forced to have negotiations.

      There’s a lot of places where Jews can already live safely

      The hilarious part is upper middle class Jews from like New York running over to colonize Palestine to be “safer”
