I’m firmly against the Palestinian genocide, but, isn’t this a little ridiculous? Shouldn’t we just focus on ending the killings and stopping further colonization?
Like, as a 4th generation Canadian, do I need to go back to Ireland to make up for my great great grandparent’s generation’s gross history of colonial genocide?
You don’t need to evict Jewish people to end Zionism.
The difference is that there are quite a lot of Palestinians alive today who had their homes stolen, and Israel keeps stealing more everyday. And they do it because they have always been allowed to keep what they stole in the past.
Yeah, so give Palestinians right of return. There’s plenty of land there to share. Make Israelis pay reparations.
Like how is the land I’m living on not functionally stolen? My entire country used to be Indigenous land, and it became as it is because it was “allowed” (forced).
The Jewish children who were born there aren’t colonists, and they shouldn’t have to suffer for their parents’ colonial acts.
The main imperative is to end the ongoing colonialism and genocide.
have you not seen the Greater IsraEl map? They plan to take farrrr more land, and will return nothing.
That would require expelling a huge number of Israelis, given they literally live in stolen houses. One in every ten Israelis lives in illegal West Bank settlements
That would require defeating Israel in a war.
It is, but at least you didn’t literally steal your literal house from a person who is still alive today…
And the Israeli colonists currently driving people out of their houses to take them over and have children there know that you think this, which is why they’re stealing land in such a way as to make a Palestine state impossible without kicking them out.
Which is impossible while the illegal settlements remain.
Thats just flatly not realistic. Polling shows that Israelis on average are entitled, racist and violent. A plurality of them want every non jewish person expelled from Israel, citizen or not. And 47% of them want every Gazan killed, no matter their innocence. about 80% think the way the war is being executed in Gaza is just and should continue. They are fine with war crimes.
Its easy to conclude that they will not live in peace with anyone if they feel they control any state apparatus.
