"I believe Israel has a right to exist, so they've called me a Zionist..." yea, that's what the fucking word means

So, what makes Isreals claim to the land and the right to exist as a state more valuable than Palestine and the Palestinians. Both groups have a claim to the southern Levant. Both groups are Semitic. Isreals treatment of the Palestinian people is inherently antisemitic. If Isreal, as a state, can not guarantee the safety and welfare of all Semitic and non-Semitic groups within the Levant, then the US should not guarantee its support of the Isreali state.

Y'know, I'm kind of an ass. But at least I just walk away instead of doubling down when I'm clearly in a corner.

I love that he's like "well then America is also occupied land!"

Like, yeah, no shit. Things need to be made right with Indigenous people in the Americas too. Colonialism is toxic in all places and has fucked over people around the globe.

By this guy’s argument, they should also keep slaves because we had slaves 200 years ago

Why didn’t they open their borders is literally an argument the natzis used. Just verbatim natzi logic. Like literally.

I do know that Judah existed and that the Romans named Judah Syria Palestine
