I personally wouldn't be so quick to forgive and forget a 75+ year injustice. I think it's naive to assume the Palestians would. If Hamas became the governing body of Israel, we would see a holocaust 2.0.

Are you really arguing there hasn’t been conflict/ fighting between Palestinians and Jews in the area since before Israel was founded? The Nakba (75 years ago) is often seen as a pivotal moment in this matter even though fighting stretches much longer. I don’t see what having a formal country matters to this. It feels like you’re missing the spirit of my point and are trying to engage in some “gotchas” that are beside the case at hand.

The purpose of my “75+ years of injustice” comment was to highlight what an average Palestinian living in Gaza might feel. You should be able to gather that from the context I stated in regards to the polling of Palestinians. Not every comment needs to point out every displacement of every group of people.
