Technically, the Jews are also Palestinian, they've been there long before the Arabs came. Even before the establishment of the State of Israel, there was a large Jewish population in Palestine. Jews have just as much rights to the land, as Arabs.

Regarding the evictions that triggered the recent conflict - apparently the people who got evicted didn't own the place. Do landlords have the right to evict their tenants in the US? Or any other country in that matter? They do. Then what's all the fuss about evictions in Israel? From what I know, the Arab family hasn't been paying rent for years. In than case, the landlord has full rights to evict them. No need to play victim.

Tenant evictions are not genocide, and there's no reason to start a war over landlord evicting tenants, that's plain stupidity. The Hamas cowards simply wanted to call for attention.

Palestinian leaders call for the destruction of the State of Israel. Hamas in particular, has the aim of killing every single Jew in Israel. If you support the "free Palestine" movement, then you have to understand that you also support the genocide of the entire Jewish population of Israel (who have no less rights to the land than Arabs).

I do think that Israel treats their 2 million Arabs fairly well, with citizenship and full civil rights. On the other hand, how do Arab countries treat their Jewish population?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Arab_world

Some excerpts:

On 28 March 2021, 13 Jews were forced by the Houthis to leave Yemen, leaving four elderly Jews the only Jews still in Yemen.

Hostility toward Jews is common in Saudi Arabian media, religious sermons, school curriculum, and official government policy.

Indoctrination against Jews is a part of school curriculum in Saudi Arabia. Children are advised not to befriend Jews, are given false information about them (such as the claim that Jews worship the Devil), and are encouraged to engage in jihad against Jews.

Jordan does not allow entry to Jews with visible signs of Judaism or even with personal religious items in their possession.

Less than 20 Jews reside in Syria today.

Moral of the story? Jews are not welcome in the Arab world, there has been a large genocide and exodus. Yet over 2 million Arabs have full civil rights in Israel.

You might have not noticed it, but NYTimes is very biased towards the Arab side of the story. If that's what you read, then you'll also be biased. How about reading https://www.haaretz.com/ , just to see the other side of the story? I don't think you will though.
