 But who denies any of that by the way? Have you ever seen any human being Palestinian or not deny a Jew from property they acquired legally and fairly? It’s almost like a straw man to mention it.  Islam has very strict property rights laws and that would have and has always protected the rights of a Jew and everyone else to buy and own property. The irony is, it’s this exact thing we both agree on that the Israeli gov is breaking and has been breaking for almost a century now.

And I would also say that statement “I support Jews in their search for safety” I find it extremely distasteful. Safety is a right given to all, not just Jews. When phrased in such a way it gives the impression that their safety is somehow more important than others. So I would say, for all of those who wave this phrase in the air to them take the Jews into your own lands and give them the safety you say you want them to have; and don’t take other people’s land and rights to achieve that goal.
