Do you know any Palestinians? My wife worked for a couple that were forced to leave, good highly educated folks. The wife was an attorney, when Isreal was formed she was told her law degree was worthless. She went to school, got an Israeli law degree, was then told she needed to speak Hebrew. She went back to school, learned Hebrew, was then told lol nah you can’t actually practice law now. Shorty after their house was seized, it had an olive orchard that had been in their family for generations.
It goes largely unnoticed by them that Israel has never once been given the opportunity to have a peace with the Palestinians with any deal in which the Palestinians did not secure Israel’s total destruction.
If your point is that you think I don’t know how bad the occupation is, you’re wrong.
The issue for me is that when you decide to walk away from the negotiating table, and start blowing up school buses, I really couldn’t give less of a fuck what your grievances are.
And you think radicalization like that happens out of the blue? Do you condemn what Crazy Horse did and use the same logic on all indigenous people?
The whole fucking situation sucks but to say something as ignorant as “the imperialists wanted to negotiate with you” you’re obviously coming at the situation from an point of view, one you might not even believe to be as biased as it is.
You also are treating all of the Palestinians as a homogeneous group, a line of logic used to justify their genocide. There are radicals and there are moderates, to call off negotiations because of one group takes away any political power of the other. “You can’t control this group of people that we are responsible for radicalizing, so I guess we have no choice but to keep stealing more land and oppressing your people.”

That’s not how imperialism works friendo.
Great story. Got anything to back that up, or just the word of an Internet stranger?
“Nice job backing that up with a source, but the source needs to be in Hebrew”
Personal anecdotes aren’t verifiable sources, but thanks for trying.
I really don’t give a shit if you believe me or not.

Yeah, went to law school with a Palestinian.
I take it you never talked to them about the occupation.
