Should European-Americans all “just relocate” since we occupied North America from the Native Americans?

Otherwise I don’t see how you’re any different than the Israelites.

Well one happened in living memory and people are still living in the houses of displaced people in Palestine.

This isn't just about land. This about homes, farms, legacies, birthright, inheritances that have been stolen by living people from living people. Not a vague concept of belonging.

Well one happened in living memory

Then we just wait another 30 years and it's okay.

Settler-colonialism in the continental US didn't end until 1953. Israel was founded in 1948.

people are still living in the houses of displaced people

Millions of people were displaced in Europe and other places of the world during the 1940s, who never got to go back and claim their lost property. 900,000 Jews had to leave Middle Eastern countries in the 1940s and 50s and often lost their property over the course of that.

Luckily, it's not problematic or worthy of condemnation to deport people who were born in the region if their government commits genocide first. The Israeli Jews have to learn that collective punishment is Good, Actually, as long as it's in response to previous crimes.
