| How do you think Israel was formed in the first place? Or is your comment intentionally ironic? |

| How do you think most countries or borders were formed? It's almost all wars and displacement. |

| In the fist place? That was 3,000 or so years ago. |

It is also trivially simply to disprove “It was always Palestine”. It was made up by Romans. Again, much later than when Jewish people lived there. | | |

| Israel was not formed by displacement. That's a common misconception. Jews bought lands all across Palestine in early 1900's, with bodies such as the JNF. The displacement ("Nakba") came in 1948, during the Israeli War of Independence (started by the Arabs in Palestine and abroad), and even that mostly concerned areas which participated in the war. Areas that remained peaceful integrated into Israel (today's Israeli Arabs, 23% of the population). |
