It would be only just if the Palestinians would get their own state after this.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, here, that would have the stench of colonialism about it.

It's not their land to 'return to' - after all, people already live there and they have no moral right to displace them.

How do you think Israel was formed in the first place? Or is your comment intentionally ironic?

There was never a country called Israel until 1948. It was always Palestine.

The idea of a nation called Israel is the invention of Zionists in the 19th and 20th century.

And spearheaded by the Haganah and Irgun, who were violent terrorists whose many bombings "persuaded" the British to hand the land over to them.
