Let us all just pretend that nothing existed on this land prior to 1948, except the Palestinians, right? This man is totally biased against the state of Israel to begin with.
Who has been denied their home? 3,000 years old, one of the oldest collectively cultured peoples and religions known to mankind. Some of the oldest written words known to mankind come out of this religion. I don't think first matters anymore, a right to exist, however, does.

You do know that being against the occupation of Palestinian territories is not the same as saying that Israel doesn't have a right to exist, right?
This is more of the ridiculous binary thinking: if you are against the eviction without recourse of Palestinians, the establishment of Jewish-only roads, the restriction of Palestinian access to water, and a blockade that keeps even basic necessities out, then you must be for terrorism and the destruction of Israel.
Of course, that is bullshit, but apparently some people refuse to move beyond that.
