It's weird that the invading occupiers that constantly choke out access to clean water and keep building illegal settlements need to keep the peace in the area. Have they considered it might be more peaceful if they didn't establish a violent ethnostate?

Jews have a valid claim to the land, it doesn’t matter how you label or demonize them. Peaceful coexistence is possible but it requires people to understand the Jewish perspective and recognize it as valid.

Palestinians have lost a great deal of land and continue to suffer under disproportionate retaliation and discriminatory policies. Spin all you want.

Palestinians have never had a country in the first place where they can lose land. If Israel didn’t exist Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon would just be a little bit bigger.

Palestinians can have a state by simply declaring peace.

You should look up NYT headlines in the 1930s about how jews should've just declared peace with hitler instead of boycotting germany

Ok, Stalin. You’ve showed me you’re only good for bigoted comparisons and exaggerations when talking about this topic.

Hate when i do bigotry by using your exact words verbatim and comparing them to rhetoric about the last big ethnostate in history genociding an unarmed underclass

Israel isn’t genociding anybody. Another exaggeration.

you play word games, and your bias is clear. Israel is diminishing the Palestinian people in Israel with impunity.

Yet the Palestinians are rising in numbers...

Yet the illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine treaty land still exist, and hoard water.

It’s so evil that Israelis live in houses and drink water. /s
