No nation has a "legitimate claim" to any land. All land has to be fought for, negotiated for, defended and/or taken by force.

I agree Israel should not have been made a state in the 1947 UN agreement, but your argument is deeply flawed.

@djsumdog Flawed in what way? Many public comments from trying to justify the theft of rely on the myth of "ancestral rights". More than happy to listen to your point, however.

Jews are an ethical group (Ashkenazi, Sephardic being the primary subsets). There is no such thing as a "legitimate claim." That's some Game of Thrones bullshit. They have a claim, backed by the United Nations .. and other nations with a lot of money and firearms.

In reality, for a claim to be "legitimate" ... well there is no legitimate. There is only what you can take and hold. The world backed Israel to take and hold a land and they did. The people on it didn't fight back hard enough or have enough resources and lost.

That's pretty much the entirely of how a nation is established and held. France back the colonies in the revolution, and that gave the colonies the ability to hold and form the States. Had they lost, they would have "legitimately" been a part of the British Empire for longer.

Trial by combat seems stupid if we applied it to a murder trial today. But trial by combat is exactly how nations are established. The most moral side rarely wins (see the DPRK, a.k.a North Korea or China/CCP). There is no legitimacy of case law when it comes to being able to create and hold a nation.

And now the tide is shifting. Soon the Zionists will be international pariahs, as will any nation which spends it's resources gobbling their knobs. Welcome to the new reality. Personally I can hardly wait until the same is true of any/all nations which give preferential treatment to Abrahamic superstitions.
I would also be interested to hear how "inheritance of family/community identity" is meaningfully distinct from "ethnicity"/"culture".
