So, I was having a long discussion with my liberal dad, and he said the statement above: Zionists have claim to Israel because apparently Palestine was a former British colony and it was given to the Jews by the British. Also, that there was not such thing as the country of Palestine before that. He also mentioned that apparently, Palestinians have refused the 2-state solution and that apparently makes them the bad guys for October 7th.

It is all pure liberal bs, but I don’t know enough of the history of the occupation to debunk his claims thoroughly. Therefore, help debunking this would be appreciated.

    If it was a colony that land never belonged to the British in the first place. Native Palestinians have lived in that region for thousands of years before Britain ever stepped foot in the region.

    His dogshit argument is like saying I set up a tent in someone’s back yard then sold their house to my friend. A friend that proceeded to claim self defense when that family told them to leave then murdered said family.
