The Israeli court system, which has bent over backwards to Arab claims, found that the property belongs to Jews evicted by the Jordanians. Why did she not mention this?

They don't belong in the Middle East. No group of people should be moved half way across the world to displace indigineous people from their land. Your argument is nonsensical and unconnected to how Israel was contrived. European Jews should be returned to Europe. They don’t belong in the Middle East.

The Zionists started purchasing land in the 1800s, irrigating the desert and draining malarial swamps. There's no reason they shouldn't have a state on land they purchased and developed. Israel only takes up 1/4 of 1% of the available land mass, yet the Jewish state is the only one whose legitimacy is questioned. Anti-semite much?
