Remind me an Arab state where Arabs are constantly persecuted for being an Arab. It has NEVER been about citizenship (and yes, many countries have very strictly limited immigration of Jews before and after creation of Israel), it has always been about constant persecution of Jews. When Arabs lost to Jews in Israel Independence War then they started to punish and oppress Jews living in Arab states. Were these Jews responsible by any means? No, their only fault was being a Jew. And it's just only a single example.

You said Arab states should just be demanded to give Palestinians citizenship.

You think Israel needs to exist as a Jewish majority state because other countries did not accept Jewish refugees (e.g. the US) even though those same countries could and would do so now (at least as much as the Arab countries would for Palestinians).

So just think about that hypocrisy. Either being hated and rejected as refugees justifies a state of a group's own, or it doesn't.

I believe that Jewish state should exist. Jews have the right to have the same level of protections that other nations are entitled to have.

If they do not form a majority in that state, it's not a Jewish state anymore, in that state Jews no longer have the protection of the state, they instead are forced to search protection from the state.

It's simple and clear as that. It is also becoming more and more clear that your motivation is simply hatred toward Jews that you are trying to hide with these logical fallacies and simply lying.

> Remind me an Arab state where Arabs are constantly persecuted for being an Arab.

Palestine, particularly the Occupied Palestinian Territory, would be the obvious answer.

The footage going back many decades of their treatment by "neighbours" is savage.

You have to expand this comment a little. By now it's not clear what Arab state you are talking about.
