2. Should they have just accepted the expulsion of around 200,000 Palestinians even before the founding of Israel?

And another 500,000 after?

Or agreed to give away lands that had been Muslim for a millenium and they considered THEIR Holy Land?

And it wasn't theirs to accept. It was the Palestinians, the natives of that land. Nobody consulted them but they were too busy running for their lives anyway.

The Partition was the problem. Not the people it was imposed on and their reaction to it.

Today, no one one would think of imposing such a thing on anybody. It was unjust. Why don't we acknowledge that at least.
