      Yes, but I think that supports restarting from the 1940s, not from the 1700s. By 1947 there were hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the territory that now forms Israel and Palestine.

        They were moved there by European colonialists who didn’t give a shit about the natives who already lived there.

          “Moved there by European colonialists”? Which colonialists were these who were picking up European Jews and dropping them off in Palestine?

          Jews mostly moved there due to getting sick of being repeatedly pogromed in Europe. So if by “moved there by” you mean “repeatedly forced out by” then kinda.
