We are opposed to a state that exists at the expense of indigenous Palestinians.

Israeli leadership have literally bragged about preventing a Palestinian state

Hamas wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for the oppressive occupation of Palestinians. You want them to recognize Israel? We can start by first lifting the boot off of their necks. Then we can talk settlements in land that is supposed to be a future Palestine and their removal.

Nobody has a problem with Jews in Palestine, they have been living there for centuries. The issue is Arab displacement from their land, and forced expulsion. Arabs didn’t have an issue selling land to Jews prior to 1917. The Balfour declaration changed everything. Naturally, Arabs got upset when they found out that they were about to become second class citizens (at best) in their own country.

I think the vast majority are upset over losing their homes and land, not the presence of Jews. Like I said, Jews lived in Palestine for centuries, they never left in the first place.

The Balfour declaration itself was a declaration of war and ethnic cleansing. The Arabs were right to reject a state that would have come at their expense. It’s not ideological, it’s principled. Anyone in their shoes would have done the same.
