Yes, a Jewish minority lived in Palestine with no problems as far as I know. But again, they where offered citizenship and a sovereign country. This is not something that should be offered by the rest of the world, or by a bunch of immigrants with a motive to create their own country specifically for themselves.

Their rejection is understandable. The west/UN offered them land? Shouldn’t the people who had lived there for generations be able to decide for themselves?

Israel has all the power over Gaza. They control who or what goes in and out. The way Palestinians have been treated I’m not surprised at all that they have ended up with extremist leaders.
