You're not the only who believes that, unfortunately.

yeah people tend to believe that when invading colonialists take your land by force they should be expelled by force

Do you realize how many empires have conquered Israel in the course of history? Do you realize how many empires have conquered Israel in the course of the last 500 years or so? Hint: it is more than one

do you realize that this argument is just The Blacks Owned Slaves Too

the argument is "it's not meaningful to frame this narrative as the Israelis being 'colonialists' and the Palestinians being 'natives' because the word 'native' doesn't meaningfully apply to anyone currently living in this particular region" but unless you're rooting for an Intifada we're mostly disagreeing on semantics


yeah they're not natives because some of them are descended from people who came in 500 years ago. lol

Ok so if a white person is descended from a Mayflower settler are they now Native American? Is 400 years that significantly different from 500?

This is a stupid argument which means nothing and will accomplish nothing but I am yuppie scum still on my lunch break so I can indulge you

they are native in comparison to the hypothetical chinese army that is attempting to expel them by force, yes

it is actually a common thing for liberal jewish people to undermine action against israel on the left via ceaseless whining about the unfairness of it all is so he is describing a real phenomenon although phrasing it poorly

I think when an I/P conversation has turned to policing the actions of American Jews as a bloc it's time for me to officially say "gently caress this I'm out"

Lol at the moral righteousness brigade applauding settler death. The same posters that cry whenever a western force makes a fuckup, advocating literal warcrimes.

Because Im pretty sure settlers are legally still civilians even if the act of population transfer is a international crime.

Anyways gently caress Israël/palestine, it should be bottom of the list of international issues. Inconsequential shitholes, if it weren't for dumb religious interest.

the difference between killing settlers and killing doctors without borders is that settlers deserve to die
