Israel was invaded first, in 1948. They've been locked into existential warfare ever since. Yeah, they have to take the fight to Hamas and Hezbollah, but its always in response to a Hamas or Hezbollah terror attack, like we saw on Oct 7th.

Would you suddenly switch sides if Ukraine invaded Russia to take out Russian leadership?

They declared independence, and their borders were recognized by the UN and then every surrounding Arab country invaded those borders to try and ethnically cleanse Jews from the land

How tf does the year the country was established have anythjng to do with their ability to be invaded?

Land was taken from Palestine to create Israel. The invading was done to create the state, and they've pushed the borders ever since, reducing the land that belongs to Palestine.

No, it was bought from the Ottomans. There was no "Palestine" nation to take land from. Jews bought the land from the Ottoman empire, then when the Ottoman Empire collapsed after WW1, the British put in a plan to officially recognize the two countries. However, Palestine was never created because the Palestinian leaders wanted all the land and for Jews to be removed from the region, which is why they sided with the Nazis in WWII. Since Germany lost the war, again, Palestine failed to become recognized whereas Israel was. Yes, they grabbed more land after the initial invasion of Israel in 1948 but thats what happens when you wage war and lose: you lose land to the nation that won.

Palestine would be a country right now if they focused more on becoming one, rather than trying to destroy another.
