As I outlined above, the history of the area is not a rainbow unicorn story.

The Persian kings conquered neighboring tribes. The Greeks under Alexander the Great conquered Persian cities. Later the Romans governed the area, under which Jews lived in Judea under Roman laws. Yet later the Ottomans gained control, and so forth.

The partitions after WW2 was a centrally planned allocation of land that ended up causing millions of people to not have an official homeland.

Whatever we think of historical or military claims to the region, cultural roots and religious roots, the WW2 partitioning borders have left deep conflicts in the area that are not easily solved.
