Food for thought

My ancestors settled Europe and built Stonehenge before writing was even invented, lived in peace with the hunter-gatherers, and were then massacred and forced out of their land by Indo-Europeans.

We've lived in diaspora since, for 6000-7000 years, and have never had a permanent homogeneously ethnic home like that since.

Does that mean that we can all concentrate in Salisbury and bulldoze the existing families' homes to take their land for our own?

No? What's different? Is it because the Jewry have maintained their own religion and been persecuted for it?

Well what about the Zoastrians of Persia then? They ruled Iran and were the few who kept their religion were persecuted for centuries. Can they go back to Tehran and Isfahan and bulldoze some homes?

What about the Romani, who've been butchered for hundreds of years and had laws written declaring it punishable by death to just be Romani - laws that were carried out. They've been scapegoated and treated as subhuman since they were first recorded.

Do the Native Americans get to claim North America and Siberia too, where they were forced out of?

Can we all start bulldozing homes and stealing land? What's the criteria for being allowed to do that exactly?
