The family of Noa Argamani is sharing harrowing footage of her abduction in southern Israel earlier today.
The video shows her being taken away on the back of a motorcycle by Hamas terrorists as she screams “don’t kill me” and stretches her arms out to her boyfriend, Avi Natan, who is also being held by Hamas operatives. They were both attending a festival in the south.
Other footage shows Argamani being held in Gaza sipping from a cup of water.
That’s not what happened. There was a strong desire for a Jewish state in Palestine for hundreds of years, in the beginning of the 20th century this was accelerated through the British mandate and immigration. The real story is way more complex and your representation of it is not only wrong but also negates the agency the Jewish population living there for centuries had in creating the Jewish state.
Of course the horrors of the Holocaust had part in the decision but it was not because “Europeans wanted Jews out”
Like I said the real history is waaaaay more complex, I suggest you read up on it - the
is a got starting point.

Unfortunately a population had been living there for thousands of years…
And they weren’t stoked at being forced out at gunpoint 70 years ago.
If that was too long ago that they don’t have a claim, why was a much older one good enough to found Israel?
Hell, the Jewish texts said they moved there after Egypt, why weren’t they given Egypt? Why pick a random place some of their ancestors may have moved to that already had people living there at the time?
The formation of Israel and Pakistan was just a bunch of Europeans deciding religious segregation would be a good thing. It obviously wasn’t and there’s no reason to keep trying it. Religious ethnostates are not a good plan.
And as long as they exist (especially when one gets a mutual holy land) these wars will keep happening
Do you think the creation of Israel and Pakistan were decided by ‘a bunch of Europeans’ without any input from the jewish, muslims or hindus? I guess you need to read up some history first if you want to discuss these issues
Oh yeah, I’m sure those people living in India and what would become Israel loved the idea of being forced out of their ancestrial homelands of millennia…
Wait…
That’s recent history, we have articles and even pictures of it happening and it was incredibly violent and people still choose death over forced removal
It was fucking ethnic cleansing.

Stop acting like those were mutual agreements
Here’s a confronting question that might shed some light on you: who killed Ghandi and why?
