Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s part of the UN Charter and the International Declaration of Human rights and a well established right in international law.
Native American peoples deserve self determination and reparations for sure.
Not every group, because they usually don’t have such a strong cultural connection to some ancient lands anymore. The Jewish people had been a homeless and oppressed minority for centuries. Fleeing and founding their own state in their ancient homeland was the only way to ensure their own survival. Israel is a country of refugees, who had nowhere else to go. I don’t know of another people with a comparable history.
Roma (gypsies) in Europe don’t have such a connection to their ancient homeland for example. I don’t know enough about North American natives to have an informed opinion on it. I know that many tribes were displaced more than once.
It isn’t in the Declaration of Human Rights.
Not every group has connection to the land? Are you dead certain this is the pathway you want to go here? You know that this is at the very least extremely uncomfortable of a suggestion, completely contradicts your initial claim that only Jewish people don’t get a homeland, and completely ignores the connection to the people actually living there at the time, right?
Many minority groups get oppressed throughout history. You should really learn more about other people if you think this is unique to Jewish people. I would start by looking at the Roma peoples of Europe.
