20. Yeah, their land....

Or are they the only people in the world where the land they lived on for generations shouldn't have been seen by them as their land?

Anyway, yr version where the war was all about hating on Jews is far more simplistic and the entire war can be communicated in one short and outraged sentence. I can see why there'd be a preference to run with it
