Because it’s not an arbitrary point in time. Jews weren’t there as a nation prior to that point. Then Britain made it so. There’s a before and after that’s clearly demarcated in history where the people in the area, whoever they were, was displaced by a foreign power to give land to people who hadn’t been there before.
Why can’t we just do it again, but this time displace ourselves? Wouldn’t the Republican party prefer the white skin of Jewish refugees than the brown skin of Palestinians? And then we can give them South Dakota, as someone suggested. And then Palestinians can have their state.
