The Zionist side (in one sentence)

 

Ex-Muslim Laur on Twitter has a request:

Okay, so after being Muslim for the past decade, I've only heard or been taught one side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I want to hear the Zionist side.

Many people responded, often with links to websites or offers to have further discussion.

But sometimes I take it as a personal challenge to boil things down to a single tweet or a single sentence.

Here is my answer in nineteen words:

Jews just want to live in their own country, in their ancestral homeland, in true peace with their neighbors.

I’m pretty happy with that answer, although perhaps I should have added,  “-and they will vigorously defend that right.”
