Under modern international law and structures, all nations have a right to self-determination. That is, they have the right to govern themselves. They do NOT have the right to displace others to achieve it. Maybe if saying that Palestinians should have equal rights in the same land makes Israelis think that you are being anti-semitic, there is already a good and a bad side to this and it is not a circle as you think it to be. We are seeing what Zionism looks like in Gaza through and through.

I would like you to point out a single state on Earth that wasn't created through the displacement of other ethnic groups or national identities. I'm not saying that it was okay, but it's a fact that attitudes around state-building were different when Israel was created (just see how little attention the forced relocation of Germans, Poles, Russians and Ukrainians in Eastern Europe after the Second World War gets). There's no excuse for what's happening in Gaza now, which is why you'll never catch me defending Benjamin Netanyahu or a single member of his hateful coalition, but it's a fact that the creation of the State of Israel itself took place in completely different geopolitical circumstances to those that govern us now.

In the late 1940s, it was accepted that nations did have the right to displace others to achieve self-determination, otherwise Wrocław would still be Breslau and Kaliningrad would still be Königsberg.
