>> The modern effort to establish a national homeland for the Jewish people began in 1839

It actually goes back way before that. But there is no sense in arguing ancient history.

The modern effort started, as previously pointed out, with Woodrow Wilson and others in the Versailles agreements, and it was far broader than just "giving the Jews a national homeland." The British Mandate did provide for Israel (although 5x bigger than today's Israel) to become the Jewish homeland.

Substantial chunks of the world map were rearranged in the Versailles settlement and yet, Israel is the one whose borders weren't respected. No one is saying these other countries ought to give up their homelands. Just the Jews.

Israel has given up plenty; now 20% of what they were promised at Versailles. And you people want to cut them back to 15%. How does that even make sense?
