“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.
“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

Just 2 examples of many, many Zionist genocidal massacres. Read a fucking book.
Even if you were somehow correct, you’re basically arguing that Palestinian children today should pay for the crimes of nation-states 3 generations ago. Completely reprehensible.
Look dude I’m not saying the Israelis fart the smell of roses, but the wars were started by Arabs. Read a fucking book sometime.
Holy shit. literally just doing a “I know you are but what am I” for an hour. Hang it up SilentStorms, there’s no reasoning with the terminal thickness of the meat on this guys head.
Yeah, I’m going to call it here. I did get him to say that the apartheid state is justified because of a war 75 years ago, so I’ll take the win.
If anyone else is reading into the trenches of this comment thread, please please read about the Nakba and the systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestine that continues today before bringing your thoughts into this topic. The reality of it is far worse than you can imagine.

lol they were lost by the arabs too. it’s like they’re incapable of long term memory
This also sounds… Racist. Why are you being racist/defending racists all of a sudden?
If they spent just a fraction of their time reading a book about the region rather than screeching about the current conflict I think they’d be singing a different tune. I have found exactly one instance of Palestinian expulsion prior to the Arab nations declaration of war in 1948. The Deir Yassin massacre, which if you actually read the Wikipedia article on it, it provides evidence of the majority of Jews condemning the attack and even some helping the Palestinians. The person responsible for the attack even said he was told by his commanding officer that civilians were not to be harmed. All land acquisition prior to 1948 was legal. I can provide mounds and mounds of evidence proving it. You can condemn modern day Israel without parroting antisemitic lies.
Yep, exactly. And the Arab exodus from Israel was largely in collaboration with Arab military authorities, people trying to get out of the conflict zone so they could reoccupy after the victorious Arab armies drive the Israelis out.
