1) no you wouldn’t.

2) Israel has been the ancestral land of Jews since shortly after they escaped slavery in Egypt. Jews have been living in what is now Israel 4000 years before Islam existed.

And most Americans are living on Indians’ ancestral lands. Should that land revert back too?

Revert BACK?

Back to WHAT? It never STOPPED being Jewish land. Jews have lived there continuously for 4000 years.

At what point did you imagine Jews stopped living there?

Really?

Actually, the portion of the total land area owned by Jewish individuals and groups in 1920 was less than 3.0%.

In 1947, after years of Zionist terrorism inflicted on the indigenous Palestinians, convenient “distress” sales brought that figure up to approx. 7.0% of the Mandate.

Calling THAT (less than 1/14th of the total land area) “Jewish land” and suggesting that is encompassed the entire Mandate is yet another false claim by the false claims tribe.

You left out the part about Jews being massacred by Islamist Turks prior to that. Think that might account for that “only 3%” figure? They were the only ones left.


Yeah. You didn’t mention that for sake of convenience.

Israel and the U.S. keep voting for these current governments. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Palestines are indigenous to their lands and can trace their history back to the Canaanites unlike the so-called European Colonial settlers. There's a reason why DNA tests are banned in Israel

+1 If Israel was wrongfully created, so were the countries in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Australasia, and Southern Africa plus Liberia. Please feel free to add some I have forgotten.

I agree the 'unfavorable of Israel' views numbers are actually higher than reported due to people worried about repercussions.

Is Hamas great? No.

But I am absolutely bewildered about our unwavering support of Israel at any cost, for any reason, turning blind eyes to all International law violations. I truly do not understand our support and massive financial funding of such a horrible place.

Aipac spent 100 million on the last election.

I'm one to side with my country first and always considering what happened in the 1930s and 1940s. Eff Israel and all other countries is a fair stance. This being said; I love the Jewish people and their culture just like I love all other people and cultures of the world. We must come to realize the difference between the good people and awful governments around the world.

OP here. I realize I didn't link to the whole Pew article, and just the image. Here's the rest: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/04/08/how-americans-view-israel-and-the-israel-hamas-war-at-the-start-of-trumps-second-term/

Israel is the only one actively engaged in a holocaust. Something must be done.

It's all ridiculous. If the world weren't filled with so many conservative Christian, Muslims, and Jews, global peace would be much more achievable.

Please identify the "holocaust" in which Israel is engaging?

What we do know is that one side engaged in a massive terrorist attack on October 7th. But for that attack, there wouldn't be an Israel-Gaza war currently (Israel left Gaza in 2005).

Oh really? So Israel was in danger of being over run on Oct 7th? Israel kill more Palestinians in an hour vs what Hamas killed on Oct 7. Israelis kill more Israelis on Oct 7 vs Hamas. Israel will kill more Palestinians vs number and percentage of Jews killed in the Jew holocaust. You know that!

I think the intolerant blood thirsty people in that part of the world are getting more and more annoying to the normal people in the rest of the world with each passing day. Grow up people! Stop the killing and hating in the name of your silly religions!
