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…
Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out?
blazera@kbin.social 8 months agoYeah you lose me at stuff like 'controlled the territory'. It was palestinians living there, not British.

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

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

Yeah, youre advocating that Palestinians could be uprooted because they were under british control. People not involved in WW2 were uprooted and their homes given to jewish refugees. That happened, thats why palestinians are pissed, and now israel is just perpetuating more of the same. It never should have happened, those refugees shouldve been returned home where they could, taken in by allies, or if they absolutely had to have their own country give them land from germany or any country responsible for exiling their jewish population.
