A country with no involvement in world war 2 had its land taken as reparation for world war 2.

Are you referring to the British Empire (who was part of WW2) or the Ottoman Empire (who no longer existed)?

Well it was WWI in the first place, and the levant was part of the Ottoman Empire which was part of the central powers and did take part in the war.

Palestinian soldiers also fought with the British against the Nazis.
But none of this involvement is making it any more fair that Palestinians had to pay for the Holocaust. If anything, the opposite.

Yeah you lose me at stuff like 'controlled the territory'. It was palestinians living there, not British.

Youre making me hate your side more and more for the complete disregard of uprooting people that were already living there, guilty of nothing. Yes, they were there first, and then were exiled. You wanna get exiled from your own country? No fucking empathy

You’re conflating ‘country’ and ‘people’ then. The ‘country’ that gave up the land had this flag: …wikimedia.org/…/2560px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdo…

The British empire controlled a lot of regions of the world and they didn’t do it by establishing big population bases everywhere.
