I should clarify. I never said that Palestine was/is not real. Palestine was a region made of primarily of Jews and Arabs. They thought of themselves as Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs. The Arabs of the region certainly considered themselves a part of the Pan-Arab identity.
It sure sounded like you were saying Palestine is not real.
Let me clarify too - many of the people called "Arabs" in Palestine were descended from Jews that converted to Islam, as well other Levantine and Semitic peoples in the region. It was actually only under the Ottomans that there was this distinction created between Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews, before that many Palestinians can trace their families back to their Jewish roots.
Unfortunately Zionists continued this racist program to further segregate their home into ethnostates instead of forming a single multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy. Then they got a white European dominated UN to force a racist agreement onto the rest of Palestinians, which would give the best and most land to the Jews while kicking the rest of Palestinians out of their homes. Why the fuck would they agree to a colonial partition plan and let their land be taken from them?
There is no justification for ethnostates. Only a single multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy from the river to the sea.
