>most if the original citizens of Israel were Jews from the Middle East
So let me get thia straight
>the Middle East has a mixed Muslim and Jewish population
>Jews decide they should form their own state
>lets form it in the place where Jews originally came from
>Israel is formed, Muslims who live there get kicked out and get sent to Arab countries that only got formed at the same time as Israel
>the same amount of Jews get kicked out of the Arab countries and are sent to Israel
How is this event not seen as a population exchange and division of the Middle East between two indigenius groups but as Jews taking over Arab clay?

I'd say there are pretty much *no* pure European Jews there anymore and only the low iq fundamentalist ones are staying
