You argue like Chompsky. When presented with the overall situation, return the focus at once onto your sole villain, explaining that only the villain made choices, only the villain acted, therefore only the villain is to blame. Chomsky wrote a whole history of the Cold War that manages not to notice the existence of the Soviet Union. In Europe, they signed surrenders, they signed peace treaties. Do you think that the three million Germans who were driven out of East Prussia, Silesia and the Sudetenland all got their properties back? Do you think their properties have been preserved in amber as you demand of the Israelis? There was a war. Afterwards there was no peace, despite many diplomatic efforts to make one. Arab attitude: we'll get you next time and take all our Jews off our hands (do you think the Jews got compensated for THEIR property?). The Brits negotiated the exchange of populations and compensation for both sides. The Arab states welsched on the deal. Ergo the Israelis, who had just doubled their population with penniless refugees, took over the land. Both sides make choices, punto.
