Archeology exists. There are ancient scrolls, artifacts and history belonging to the Jews in the territory that became the state of Israel. And Great Britain held ownership of all that land. If Israel is a 'land stealing' state, so is Jordan.

And what about Pakistan? Wasn't that a carved out country that also took land from India as part of its development? And what about America? Etc. Etc.

But what is happening NOW on the West Bank in settlers conviscating land from Palestinians is unacceptable as that has happened since boundaries were established and is a current issue that should be resolved fairly. But part of the root of that issue ( besides religious fanaticism) is the struggling economy of Israel. That land is cheaper and the government 'gives' it to Israeli families who struggle financially to encourage birth rates. And these families are desperate and want to afford a home and raise their kids. So I understand those families.

But the Israeli government is the problem because of not coming up with humane and fair solutions for Israeli families that do not violate Palestinian community rights in West Bank.
