Armenian genocide happened after the fall of the empire.
I said it was relatively more peaceful then than it is now. Not that nothing bad happened back then but COMPARED TO NOW? SERIOUSLY?
Unironically yes, what are you talking about? The region was way more peaceful before the Ottoman empire fell than it has been since.
Ottomans also kept huge populations of Jewish people safe from Christian pogroms
I guess it depends what counts as “native”
“no one in my family tree has any memory of the place but we have a book that says we lived there thousands of years ago” is not what most people mean when they say “native”

These are people that can be swayed and if you care about defeating fascism you should be interested in swaying them. You might enjoy dunking on them (which is fine) just as long as you’re not actively pushing them away.

You started this discussion by implying that Palestine became better off when the ottomans left, that is not true.
You implied it was good that Britain took the land from the ottomans, I’m simply asking you to justify that position considering what has happened since then, which you cannot do
