      We’re talking about the first migrants to Israel. Indigenous Jewish people didn’t migrate to Israel, did they?

          The region has been a site of religious, not ethnic, conflict. Jews that converted to Islam were able to stay in the Caliphate, the idea that all ethnic Jews were expelled is a myth. There was a lot of emigration, but the truth is that many of the Muslim Palestinians today are descendants of ancient Jewish people.

          Claiming that Palestinians are just invaders that stole Jewish land is bad history.
