    unprovoked

    The Nakba never happened? Wow.

    Those who remained peaceful and stayed in Israel through the nakaba seem to be doing quite well, comparatively.

    Why should anyone havebeen expected to put up with the Nakbah though? These people still have keys to stolen houses they were kicked out of.

    Israel has always claimed they do not intend to destroy Palestineans in whole or in part.

    Oh word?

    Damn right I upvote my own posts, most social media platforms do this by default, and I find it very amusing that others care.

    It’s like clapping for your own poem.

      I never said it didn’t happen, I’m saying that the annexations were arguably justified. Once again, those who remained and stayed peaceful are doing quite well. It was those who left to join the belligerents or who fled that were not allowed to return. Given that Israel has been under attack since day one, I can understand why they want defensible borders and territories.

      Your link is about a gathering of settlers, I’m at a loss why you included it, do you think they represent Israel as a whole?

      Well then most social media sites have users, “applaud their own poems,” by default. Never seen anyone complain about this on other platforms.

          Yeah, funny thing when you try to murder your neighbors they might not want you as neighbors anymore. Had Arab nationalists not started the cycle of violence against their peaceful neighbors, then doubled down on violence every chance they got, none of this would have happened. An equitable one state solution we’re both Arabs and Jews could live in peace with each other could have been possible.

          When they chose violence and lost time and time again, only to choose violence once more, the terrible consequences should have become obvious, certainly by now Israel’s retaliation should be unsurprising. Did they think they could genocide and ethnically cleanse Jews without consequence? Did they think they could keep trying without retaliation?

            Kicking someone out of their house in 1948 doesn’t make the people you haven’t gotten around to kicking out yet (but are working on it) your neighbors.
