Jews were not only expelled from Arab counties, catholic too.

Jews left Arab stats on their own accord because of rise of Zionism.

Arab were the only folks who accepted Jews in the first place as they sought refuge from Nazi Europe

I don't know where you got this narrative from, but it doesn't align with historical accounts at all.

You mean the well-documented terrorist operations by Israel against Jews in the Arab disaspora? The terrorist state started with terrorism and sustained through it.

I actually think he is referring to these events, both happening before the establishment of Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farhud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiraz_pogrom

Yarmuk 636 is one of the most depressing events in history.

Whenever I read about that or the disasters that ensued in the following centuries I always spend a day depressed.

Grim.

Remember when Germany lost the second world war, lost a third of its territory, had millions ethnically cleansed from said territory and then proceeded to not maintain a goal to wipe Poland off the map (again)?

Would you please stop posting flamebait and perpetuating flamewars? You've been doing this a ton lately and your account is crossing over the line (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). We've repeatedly asked you to fix this and your latest run has been one of the worst. That's not good.

In your opinion, if an American converts to Judaism, at what point does America cease to become their homeland?

One can similarly become Palestinian by immigrating to Palestine (and "fitting in", which involves speaking Arabic etc). Arafat was born in Egypt, for example.

Does this refute the notion that Palestinians are from Palestine? I would say no. Similarly Jews are from Judea, despite the existence of a small number of converts with "impure" lineage.
