Re: Hamas slams Blinken’s remarks on rejecting Israel’s ‘generous’ ceasefire proposal – Middle East Monitor

You didn’t answer my question. You dodged it entirely. If you dislike the framing then let’s stick to the facts.

In 1882 the population of Jews was 24,000. This is the time period of the creation of Zionism. The population of Palestinians was ~500,000.

In 1918 the population of Jews was 60,000. Mostly Zionist migrants from Eastern Europe. This was the time of the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The population of Palestinians was ~700,000.

So at the time of the fall of the Ottoman Empire the land owners were the Palestinians who were >90% of the demographics. Also the recent influx of Jews were migrants and they have no claim to the land. So you cannot frame this as two equal parties after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. That’s dishonest framing.

My framing is correct because from the population demographics it is obvious that the current Jewish population in Palestine migrated in the past century. As you said yourself “migrants have a home, they can’t have mine”. Why must you insist on imposing a foreign population onto the Palestinians against their own self-determination?
