Still down the Israeli/Palestinian rabbit hole and finding a lot of value in @rudy_rochman debates.
This one is civil and productive discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian activist:https://youtu.be/Ew24nP-fiLU

Worth checking out how the map has changed. Difficult to see how the government of one side is not trying to eradicate the otherpic.twitter.com/saudsAuws3

Isn’t the premise of this map off, considering Palestine was never a country, but a colonized region that was actually decolonized in 1948 when Israel became a state?

What does that mean though? Trying to learn as much about it and it seems the land ownership or settlement is a key debate point. In my book I just figure who was living there should answer the question.

It means that the narrative that the Jews returning to their land of origin by conquering the country of Palestine is false, cause that’s never been a thing. It was a colonized region that was decolonized in 1948.

So colonized like America was colonized, and the Indians already lived here. Who lived there? I legit don't know the answer. It sounds like Jewish started to settled there through the early 1900s and this ramped up after WW2. Who was there already though, Arab? British? No one?

Jews were kicked out of Judea. The region was passed around and ruled by Romans, British, etc. As for who was living there in 1947, I believe it was what would now be referred to as Palestinians.

Right on. I'm sure Judea is a decent portion of modern day Palestine/Israel, but I can't find a quick map of it yet. I can see why either side might feel like their land is being occupied.

Yeah, depends on your starting point. If you go all the way back, the Jews are native to Judea. That is their homeland same as Native American Indians native homeland is North America. Even if they move to Europe, or elsewhere.

It's all about the starting point, our ancestors lived in the Horn of Africa 200.000 years ago, so maybe we should go build us some settlements in our native land, Ethiopia.
