Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off?
YourPrivatHater@ani.social 4 months agoThats not true for several reasons but im too tired to argue all of this.
One of those points is that the original Palestinian people are already part of Israel and currently only the Arab “Palestinians” are a problem. Maybe learn more about the conflict. But this goes for 99% of the people here, most here dont know shit about the conflict.
If peace in the region means driving those people away i think its justified, the jews have been on that side for the majority of history and still are, this conflict began because the Arab Palestinians tried to commit a actual genocide against the Israeli Jewish people.

No, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict began far, far earlier than Oct 7th, that was just the most recent flare-up. It’s complicated, remember?
The key is to not be evil, and to try not to kill too many people. You cannot escape the evil of killing innocent people, there is no acceptable justification. Some would be war. But too many is bad. Are the Israelis good people, or are they Huns? We shall see.

Bro, i meant the attempted genocide right after Israel was founded.
And its not evil to some day have enough about being the scapegoat for everyone and a easy target. Si vis pacem para bellum

Oh, I see. I don’t know about genocide back then, it was really just various wars after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Some atrocities, but nothing into the thousands.
No, if your “enough” is just taking living space over the bones and ashes of others, you are commiting evil. There are other ways.

Nah man they tried to kill all the jews in the first Arab Israeli war. They couldn’t because Israel was supported by the most important players.
What place isnt a gigantic graveyard? All modern civilizations are built on graveyards and if it takes another one to have more peace for longer thats a thing that wouldn’t be too bad.
This region in particular has probably seen more war in humanitys existence than most other places did. Why blame Israel for defending themselves? If your neighbors constantly throw trash into your garden you either throw them back or get the police involved. If your neighbor is a murderous psychopath you would buy a weapon to defend yourself, and you would use it when necessary. In that case, you killed someone for your living place.
Oh and Israel didn’t take shit, it was given to them by England after WW2 and as said, they constantly need to fight for what is rightfully theirs.
