    Yes the Ottoman empire held the land before Israel was created in 1948. They took us violently from Hebrew speaking Semitic peoples called the Judites. They were forcibly expelled by the Ottomans.

    And Hamas knows this too, as they find (and destroy) Hebrew artifacts all the time whilst digging the tunnels.

    The land records don’t weigh in Palestinians favor, unless you open your history book to the last one third and pretend there is nothing before it.

    I didn’t say 30,000 deaths is justified. I said Hamas caused the deaths. It is not justified. And this is in part why Hamas must not strangle another generation of Palestinians.
