There were periods of peace, but they were also second class citizens and occasionally the victims of massacres.

So because there were violent historic events (half of which were perpetuated colonizers/invading forces) in a region destabilized by colonization/imperialism, that means Israel has the right to genocide the Palestinians living there?

Of course not. I don't know how you got that I 'support genocide' from my post.

My point was merely not to romanticise the past.
