    The Jewish settlers didn’t live in Palestine, they lived in Europe and then moved to Palestine to steal the land. They’re white.

    Just because one ancestor a dozen generations ago lived somewhere doesn’t mean you have a right to evict the actual people living on that land.

      Palestinians didn’t live in Palestine during that time, either. they migrated when everyone else did.

        A ton of them just converted from Judaism. This idea that Arabs flooded into Palestine after kicking all the Jews out is racist revisionist history.

          that’s not what I said at all.

          they migrated when everyone else did.

            How am I supposed to read this as anything other than “Palestinians migrated into Israel when the Jews migrated out”? Which, I must reiterate, is a racist myth.

      I don’t agree on wording in the first paragraph, but do agree with the second paragraph.

      What now? Evicting all 8 millions of Israeli to make Hamas happy?

        How about ending apartheid and making a multiethnic, multi-religious democratic state from the river to the sea? Israelis can become Palestinian, they don’t need to leave.
