    I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but the persecution of Jews didn’t start with WW2 and neither was it limited to areas controlled by Nazi Germany. There are very good reasons why Jews wanted to return to their home country.

        These Jews legally bought the land. The expulsion of Arab Palestinians didn’t start until the Arab League declared war on Israel.

            Yes, from the Ottomans and also from local landowners, especially after the British took over. They preferred purchasing land with few Arab tenants in order to evict as few people as possible. This meant that much of the land was of poor quality for agricultural use, which they solved, after the founding of Israel, by coming up with innovative irrigation methods.

        That land belonged to the Jews a thousand years before Islam took over
