      1948 is the year Israel began their genocide by killing or displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people, after which several neighbouring nations staged a joint military intervention.

      Imagine claiming history has spanned a total of 75 years and that an attempted invasion at the beginning of time justifies a genocide in progress today.

        Lemme ask you a question: how did Jerusalem get its name, and who lived there and named it thousands of years ago?

          Maybe learn something before you advocate for the extermination of an entire people. Jerusalem was named after the pre jewish pagan Canaanite god Shalem. Those ancient Canaanites were there before the Jews and the modern Palestinians are the descendants of those ancient Canaanites.

          Romans.

          Jokes aside, the Bible states that Jews conquered the city from Jebusites. There’s no scientific consensus on who Jebusites actually were. But they were not Israelites, that’s for sure.

          Will the answer justify the genocide?

          No.

          Why should anyone care, and why do you deflect to this with less integrity than literal Nazis, who use the same blood and soil arguments you do, but at least tend to own their genocidal positions?

          By your logic, who named Los Angeles, Nevada, Texas, Florida, …? Are you saying the US has to give back more than half of the territory to Spain?
