Palestinians did nothing to deserve their land being stolen. It was European fascism that persecuted the Jews and caused the creation of Israel. Zionism was pushed by European antisemites to get the Jews out. The Palestinians had nothing to do with it and rightfully see Israel as a European colonial project rather than any kind of legitimate state
How did the British get their hands on it?
What does that have to do with ordinary Palestinians' homes being confiscated? They have nothing to do with it
Well, this part needs some explaination and historical context, since you're saying the Palestininians deserve something, and that the thing that is deserved was stolen.
Because Palestine is just as much a distant historical idea as israel, since that land was in the hands of the ottomans that were then taken over by the british, while being promised to both jews and palestinians.
For clarification, the British , with the help of traiterous arabs who thought they could hack it outside the ottoman empire, took those lands by force, then they did whatever the fuck they wanted to, because they took those lands by force, the same way any other territory belonged to any other group of people.
That's pretty much true when it comes to Palestine as a country, but none of that excuses Israel claiming families homes they've been living in for generations. There was no such thing as a country of Palestine when Israel was created, but that doesn't mean it was empty of people. Maybe they don't have a good claim to a state of their own, but they do have strong claims on their own farms and homes. Those people rightfully don't recognize Israel's authority, especially when Israel is denying them basic human rights that they grant to Jews, i.e. apartheid
