You are being ridiculous by pretending that Israel in antiquity is at all relevant to the current colonial project that was started within living memory. If the families originally came from Palestine then the people are Palestinian regardless of whatever ethnostate bullshit the settler government might have spouted to blur the lines. I am saying that any settler families who have gone to occupy Palestine in the last 80 years should return to their home nations. Anyone else is Palestinian, whether muslim, jewish, or otherwise. And would stay to live under the Palestinian nation.

Why do you think this is a peaceful resolution? Why do you think those other countries will just open their arms and take back Israel's? They don't have home nations if they were born in Palestine.

This war is fueled by what amount to a religious disagreement. Pretending it's not is kind of a garbage take and pretending it's as easy as just send those people home is also garbage. You don't see it that way because you're looking at historical context of the last 100 years on purpose.

This is the equivalent of the movement in America who want to end birthright citizenship. It doesn't make sense and it's specifically tied to anti-immigration sentiment that ignores that essential the US is made up of immigrants. It's similar to pretending Columbus discovered America when we know the Vikings were here before him and the Natives before them and so on.

Like. I'm not pro Israel. I actually think this is a conflict that can't be one and both sides are wrong. But you seem to have drawn your line in the sand and therefore this conversation is over.

The current status quo of apartheid and genocide is not exactly leading to a peaceful resolution is it? Why must Palestinian survival and liberation be entirely bloodless? And why can settlers not leave without bloodshed?

Why do you think those other countries will just open their arms and take back Israel’s?

Luckily the settlers have had decades of looting Palestine, so they could afford to leave if necessary. An option that the Palestinian people have been denied by the exploitation and literal encirclement under apartheid.

They don’t have home nations if they were born in Palestine.

They have settled within living memory and know very well where they came from.

This war is fueled by what amount to a religious disagreement.

No the war is fueled by the continued expansion of a colonial ethnostate which is genociding the native population. You are the one spewing ahistorical garbage. ~~You said as much in your top comment when you admitted to having no knowledge of the situations history.~~ Edit- Sorry, I confused you with the first person, who claimed memory issues to pretend history started on Saturday. The rest of the point stands.

You don’t see it that way because you’re looking at historical context of the last 100 years on purpose.

You previously wanted to dilute the issue by examining things as far back as antiquity. Now you want to throw out historical analysis from the relevant time period because it's inconvenient? Do you have any ideas at all or will you simply say whatever is required?

This is the equivalent of the movement in America who want to end birthright citizenship. It doesn’t make sense and it’s specifically tied to anti-immigration sentiment that ignores that essential the US is made up of immigrants.

This is not equivalent at all. Israeli settlers are currently genociding the native population. Whereas in America the current population are settlers who have nearly finished their genocide. Current immigrants to America are not genociding the population. How is that a take you just seriously put forward? Are you a white supremacist buying into great replacement theory?

Like. I’m not pro Israel.

You support the status quo that ends with the eradication of the Palestinian people and the dissolution of their state. How are you not pro Isreal?

But you seem to have drawn your line in the sand and therefore this conversation is over.

Yes it's called having an actual position. But sure we can be done now that I've had a fair chance to speak.

God damn... It must be hard having more chromosomes than brain cells. Is there freedom of religion in Palestine? Are women equal to men in Palestine? Are gays allowed to openly exist?

Will you get murdered for drawing a cartoon of Abraham or Moses in Israel?

Poor them, they were open to peaceful coexistence or a two-state solution but those evil Israelis said no... Oh wait.

Speaking of history and genocide, ever heard of Amin al-Husseini? There's a pretty clear reason why he and Adolf got along so well.

I harbor mostly equal disdain for all religions but I've never heard of Jews giving people a choice between conversion or being executed.

PS, don't bother replying, I've wasted enough time on your smooth-brained bullshit already.
