I already said don’t care about your bullshit hand-wringing about the what-ifs an occupied people could have or should have done so that they would be a model minority for you (one who gets exterminated without putting up too much of a fight)
There is a simple solution, but it would either require Israel to stop being an ethnostate or stop existing
It’s simple to say that, but the practical application of doing that is anything but simple.
Yeah, America would need to stop supporting it and its ongoing genocide for that to happen.
It’s the primary funder, the president said that if Israel didn’t exist the US would have had to create it, because it’s so geopolitically critical. There’s a large number of US ships there right now, in support of Israel.
I’m probably older than you
The existence of Israel is predicted on the bloody murder, and ethnic cleaning of Palestine, and completely unjustified.
The history is far more complicated than that. Israel wasn’t really born out of a desire to ethnically cleanse Palestine, it was born out of a desire for a Zionist homeland and for independence from the British. Immediately afterwards, literally the following day, the Arab nations attacked.
Furthermore, Palestine was never really a country over the last 500 years, not until 1988. It was a region in the Ottoman empire, then it was under British control, then it was proposed to be split such that a nation of Israel and a nation of Palestine could be established - however Palestinians rejected this multiple times. Even in the Palestinian Declaration of Independence they didn’t really define their territory, saying “The State of Palestine is the state of Palestinians wherever they may be” but referencing the UN Partition Plan.
By all accounts, when Israel was established in 1948 they wanted their own territory in the region as partitioned by Britain/the UN, they didn’t want control over the entire region. It was only after successive fighting between Israel and Palestine that Israel developed the attitude they display today.
Whether or not Zionists, Israel, the British or the UN were right in pushing for the formation of an Israeli state is another matter, but the Israel we have now is a direct result of the wars that were fought, wars that Israel won each time. This is markedly different from colonialism, where one nation rules over another but then later grants independence and goes back to ruling its own territory - Israel do not have any other territory to go back to. Palestine taking an “all or nothing” position, as they have over the last 70 years, just isn’t a workable solution as it puts Israel in the same boat.
you literally just misspelled ‘criticize’ in the comment above, but I didn’t correct you because I don’t fucking care and nobody else does either.
also fuck off colonizer genocide apologist, this is why you got banned

I would say that Israel was the foothold, Saddam used to be the US’s ‘guy’ until he wasn’t and the Iraq war was a bunch of criminal opportunists seizing on an opportunity to invade and loot a country with a flimsy pretext.

Oh come on now, you criticise me, but you’re the one who thinks bloody murder is justified. You really are reprehensible.
Yes America is everything that matters in this situation. Grow the fuck up and step out of your basement.

Mine was an alternate spelling, yours had a completely different meaning.

Disengage colonizer, nobody wants to read your genocide denial
What genocide am I denying? You’re a pathetic liar.
The one happening now.
Fuck off
@Diva @TWeaK wasn’t the secret point of the Iraq War to use it as our foothold in the ME…
I would say that Israel was the foothold, Saddam used to be the US’s ‘guy’ until he wasn’t and the Iraq war was a bunch of criminal opportunists seizing on an opportunity to invade and loot a country with a flimsy pretext.
Albeit, there are theories that a foothold presence was part of the motivation.
