The Palestinian people exist and have very real and justified grievances.
replyThere's hardly anything comparable in Europe.
The Romani people. Perhaps even Jews, depending on attitudes towards Israel.
replyProbably other groups who are even less visible, so we don't know about the challenges they face. The 19th century push for nation states has marginalized and tried to erase many groups.
I think it's pretty telling how Europeans treat those people now, and how Israeli people treat Palestinians today.
replySome of us learned to be better.
wake me up when Spain has let their minorities a path for self determination and when you do something about the savages that loot and destroy everything in your previous held colonies like Wagner and the Russian African Corpus
replyAh, so now Israel treats Palestinians like Spain treats Catalans?
replyI think we might live on different planets.
Ok, I’m for building them a better future, we’re on agreement in that
replyDo you disagree that there's a good chance that by choosing to live and pay taxes in Israel you're going to have a net negative effect on the future of the Palestinians over your lifetime?
replyYou hold me to inhuman standards you do not uphold in your personal life.
The current government is bad for me and bad for the Palestinians I strive for a better one, and I’m here to stay
replyI absolutely do hold myself to the same standards of not living and paying taxes in Israel.
replyThanks god, what a contribution to the world! Hope you having a nice time in this historic tiny minuscule moment of peace your continent is having, while you sit on an economy based on generations that robbed entire continents naked and then benefited from child labor of those continents!
But in this tiny point of peace you don’t dedicate any portion of your life to help 3rd world countries or any global causes like the environment
But tell me to move one of your countries that have right wing parties rising in the polls because some tiny percent of your population became Muslim.
You will watch with me your politicians throw away this high morality you hold the second a Russian missile hit the ground in Western Europe and you with them
reply> You will watch with me your politicians throw away this high morality you hold the second a Russian missile hit the ground in Western Europe and you with them
replyWhat are you implying? It's totally fine to defend yourself against aggressors.
The problem is that in the Israel-Palestine conflict, Israel has always been the aggressor.
