Just a reminder that before Palestinians lived there Jewish people lived there. I don’t really support either side. I just like saying uncomfortable facts out loud because I’m on the internet. Downvote away
So genocide is ok as long as enough time passes from the event? It’s such an obvious dog whistle when those opposed to the current genocide are magically unopposed to the genocide perpetrated against a certain group of people “before 1930”. It’s not ok to perform acts of genocide against the Palestinian civilians today nor is it ok for the historical Jewish populations to have had acts of genocide perpetrated against them.
Because you see all Jews as from Palestine. That isn’t the case. Before the colonization project started Jews and Arabs had lived together there for thousands of years. Then Europeans showed up, and suddenly most of the Arabs are corraled into reservations that the Europeans and Americans keep encroaching on with settlements.
Rather than assimilate to the existing culture and produce a single post colonial state they decided to try and push the Arabs out. Nobody would care if they had produced a post colonial state that had heavy protections for Jewish refugees, but was not a Jewish state.

Give it back to Rome. Roma Invicta.
Did rome take it from anyone?
Was the original Jewish population ethnically cleansed from the area in living memory? No? Then I don’t fucking care.

Who lived there pre-1930?
Jews and Arabs. They were collectively referred to as Palestinians at that time.
Here is the Jewish and Arab Mandatory Palestine national football team.
Fascinating
I couldn’t give a shit if they lived there 2000 years ago. It doesn’t give them the right to colonize it in 2023.
There’s never been a period of time when Jewish people weren’t living there. How can a group of people colonize the place they’re already living?
