    No, Israelis haven’t been there for thousands of years. Many of the settlers who live there now don’t even have ancestry from Israel but are European converts. And, anyway, you don’t get dibs on a land after you left it for thousands of years. That is the land of Palestinians who have been there for thousands of years. This is not even a discussion. This is not about religion. This is about native people being robbed of their land and killed for the ambition of the imperial core.

    “Committing war crimes on mass” Sure sure… someone defends themselves and tries to get their land back and you play the both sides cards. You are obviously being disingenuous here.

      This is 100% about the disease that is religion. And by your argument, Native Americans have no claims to land because they have been pushed off their ancestral land and have been gone for a long time - or have they not hit the imaginary line in the sand where it’s been long enough that they have “forfeited” their claim?

        No, this is 100% the disease of imperialism. Imperialist powers wanted to get rid of Jews from their territory by sending them away. Zionism was created by Germany and England, and it has since been financed by the West.

        And no, native Americans are still alive and the land that they’ve lost is recorded. There are natives alive today who remember the land that was taken from them. This didn’t happen thousands of years ago. Stop with your bad faith ridiculous comparisons.

      You may want to explain why those people had to leave this land, tankie.

        Whatever the reason was, it was thousands of years ago and nobody alive in Palestine is at fault of any of that.

        Edit: The Roman Empire kicked them out. So, why don’t they go and invade Italy instead?
