Being supreme Jewking sounds like a great job. Thing is though, in all seriousness, this kind of mass movement to a random strip of land of one of the peoples made far more sense for the Jews back in the early 20th century because they were already geographically spread out massively, many European Jews had had it with Europe and Europeans were still the masters of the world and drawing borders and fecking things up worldwide. Probably easier to tell a German Jew or Polish Jew that you're going to Zanzibar or Canada, when their family have not stepped foot in the Middle East for many many generations, than it is to force either set of people out, one who have been there for hundreds of years and see the land as their own, the other who've now built a state there and believe that God/history gave them that land.
I do think that Israel would have thrived in Europe. Would have been great to punish the Germans for what they'd done too by giving them a juicy chunk of German land. Alas, they decided to punish the Palestinians instead and the rest, as we say, is history.
When I say its unprecedented, I mean the entire context. There are situations where the Palestinians themselves have been forced out entirely (Kuwait), situations where countries force out entire groups of refugees who already have a state (as Pakistan look set to do soon with Afghan refugees, Turkey with Syrians, Denmark too I think), situations where there is ethnic cleansing of a people, who then return to their 'historical/ancestral homelands (Armenians of NK, Germans being ethnically cleansed around Europe post WW2 to ensure a German state couldn't use them as an excuse for future war), mass population transfers to a new state (Muslims out of India to Pakistan, Hindus and Sikhs out of Pakistan to India) and ethnic groups who are stateless but who inhabit their 'historic' homelands and can potentially have some autonomy (the Kurds) but I cannot think of an example in recent history where a people are left stateless, with no 'home' state to return to, are ethnically cleansed with nowhere to go. An ethnic group with no homeland and who will eventually likely end up dispersed worldwide.
Maybe the Rohingya are the closest example I can think of? I don't know enough about the history to know whether they're 'ethnically' Bengali etc. Another really tragic story, with I guess a closer example of a country that the international community genuinely has no control or leverage over.
I don't think I made a direct comparison with Russian casualties (unless I'm mistaken). I said that some people on here are screaming iran/China (and I guess also Russia) when people criticise Israel, as if 2 of those 3 countries aren't being heavily censured at the moment by Western governments, whereas one is being actively clapped on and provided with weapons.
