    Nope, the Israelis and Palestinians have claims to the region and the Israelis did historically live there during Ottoman times. The Palestinians don’t have a better claim than the Israelis.

    Also, Israel built infrastructure to make the dessert livable. That’s not free.

    Palestine lost the war, they should stop being belligerent so that Israel can trust them to not be terrorists. That’s the whole reason why there’s an apartheid. They’ve made their bed for themselves.

      It’s amazing the mental gymnastics that pro-Israel propagandists will go through to justify the genocide of an entire people. By your shitty logic, I should be able to go back to my childhood home, kill a few of the people who live there now, and feel justified moving in with the survivors, taking over a bedroom or two. It was mine before, after all, and I never agreed to sell it to them. I’m not responsible for the actions of my parents, right?

      I would then play the victim when the survivors fight back as I systematically drive the rest of the household out and replace them with my friends and family. Then we’d start taking over neighbor’s houses. Sure, we didn’t live there before, but we’re a growing community and I’ll play off the retaliation of the first household as indicative of their “sub-human” nature. It was always my house, they were just squatting there so how dare they fight back. When the neighborhood gets fed up with our bullshit and starts burning our houses down, we’ll collectively pull a “surprised Pikachu face” - we didn’t do anything wrong, there’s no way this could have been foreseen, much less prevented!

      Edit: thank dog, another propagandist banned.
