    Israel in its present avatar didn’t exist before the British have it to Europeans. The land was taken from Arabs who were living under the Ottoman rules. There were Jews living there but were a minority.

    Europeans just exported their problems elsewhere and are now propping it up.

    Palestine received a nation state in the exact same UN resolution that created Israel. One has the exact same right to exist as the other - their diplomatic effort gave them these nations and that’s that.

    Yet it allowed for the theocratic colony of Israel to continue is genocide.

    The only way to ensure peace in Middle East is for Israel to not exist and all the Europeans go back to their own countries.

      Yeah, same with Palestine.

      The land was taken from Arabs who were living under the Ottoman rules.

      Who took the land from Jews/Israelis.

      There were Jews living there but were a minority.

      Because they were persecuted and forced into exile, yes.

      Yet it allowed for the theocratic colony of Israel to continue is genocide.

      You keep using that word, but I don’t think you understand what it means.

      Palestine went from a population of 600k to 5 million in the span of 100 years. That’s a faster growth than Denmark. If that’s “genocide”, then, my god, it has to be the most incompetent genocide in the history of our species, considering it worked backwards.

      The only way to ensure peace in Middle East is for Israel to not exist and all the Europeans go back to their own countries.

      Or, and hear me out, a strong contingent of culturally-neutral forces that ensure no settlers take land from Palestine, the prosecution of said settlers, the proper establishment of the rule of law and democracy in Palestine (last elections in 2008 due to Hamas’ theocratic authoritarianism).

      And, please, stop with this ridiculous “Europeans”. Or, if you don’t, I’ll start calling Palestinians “Iranians”. Makes as much sense. Deal?
