I remember being in 4th grade and my teacher taught us about the formation of Israel. That night I mentioned to my dad about how Israel was made by taking the land of other nations. My dad was like, "How do you think America was made? It was made by stealing other people's land".
To this day I have no idea if my dad was being based or justifying the existence of Israel. Probably the latter, knowing my father, but I'm choosing to believe it was the former.

It's how almost every country was formed. The timescales and how recent they are is the big difference.
For example England went Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Norman's.
