Palestine

There are no more Ottomans. There are Palestinians and they have lived on their land for a very long time and there is no reason in the world why it should not be the state of Palestine.

There are no more Ottomans.

Agreed.

However it was the Ottomans who populated Palestine for hundreds of years.

There was no state of Palestine.

Should there have been?

Yes.

However the choice of the people of Palestine along with the surrounding Muslim countries squandered that option in 1948.

Makes no difference. We are talking about now, and those who live in the West Bank have been there for many generations, and they identify and the world sees them as Palestinians and there is no reason at all as to why they should not have their own self-governing state.
 
Yes, we are well aware that you are in favor of inhumane cruelty towards the women and children and families of the Palestinians. Does that make you proud?
Coming from a party that want men in girls bathrooms, men in women's sports and are in favor of genital mutilation in children.

Blah blah blah. Are you unable to stay on topic?

Obviously you forgot the unarmed people the Palestinians murdered. The women they raped. The children they killed. The Palestinian mothers urging their sons to Kill, Kill, Kill. The two babies they took hostage and before returning, killed them with their bare hands. This is the hill you choose to die on? WOW just lost any modicum of respect that was left for you. You have my sympathy....they began this own their own.

I agree the West Bank should be a state of Palestine.

I agree Gaza should be part of the state of Palestine.
 
There has never been a Palestine state.

After WW1, the Ottomans ceded an area of land which now comprises Israel and Jorden and which was referred to as the Palestinian mandate, but it was merely a territory under British control.

There was no Israel before WW2. While there was terroritory called Palestine on a map

ehm they ruled it, they did not populate it. Ottomans are no people. That would be the Turks. There are as many turks there as French an Brits wich colonized the area after the turks.
