Who knew that seizing the literal holy land and expelling most of the native population would make the neighbors angry?

About equal numbers of Palestinians were displaced from the new, UN sanctioned state of Israel, as Jews from adjoining states. And many many more people have been displaced since then. While undoubtedly tragic, most displaced people at some point move on with their lives, and stop terrorising their neighbours and the world.

    The irony is that this statement (which I disagree with) could be applied equally well to both Israel and the Palestinians.

  • "Okay, we stole the country and expelled the native population, but they should just get over it and move on."

    It would be easier for the Palestinians to just move on if millions of them didn't live under 59 years of Israeli military occupation, with no end in sight. They have no way of moving on, because the IDF controls their lives, and Israeli settlers are taking their land piece-by-piece.

  • Therefore it is ok to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing and steal land two generstions later?

    Israeli leadership is as fascist as it gets. Openly so.

    • If that ethnic group assembles a military group that invades your border and slaughters 1200 of your people in 1 day, then retaliation is expected. FAFO.

      But I suspect you know nothing about Jews besides social media.

      Next thing you’ll say we’re not native to that land right? We only lived in the middle east forever, but our food is cultural appropriation too, right?
