We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It’s not that Jews immigrated to their “homeland”, it’s that they are ethnically cleansing the people who have called that land home for thousands of years. Palestine could have been a modern pluralistic nation that included Jews, but instead zionists chose genocide to try and make a country for only Jewish people. That’s why this conflict is where it is today, Palestinians want some of their land back that was stolen in living memory (as opposed to 2000 years ago), but Israel really wants beachside condos and there are people they consider sub-human in their way.

Are you suggesting that the genocide didn't start with the Oct. 7 war but has been going on the whole time as part of the return process?

Yeah, dude, that's just antisemitism.

The genocide started when settlers began attacking Palestinians towns to expel them from their land to make way for more settlers. Settlers had been there for decades before at that point without committing genocide. It’s the displacing and killing that’s the problem, not the immigration. It’s got nothing to do with the fact that they’re Jewish either, calling it antisemitism is using past atrocities against Jewish people to justify or deflect from the currently ongoing genocide.

Give me a specific date of when you are claiming the genocide started so I know how long the conspiracy you are alleging has been happening.

I believe you previously stated 1948. Are you suggesting a continuous 80 year genocide?

Forgive me, but I think your argument works better if you are claiming the genocide began Oct. 8th and is caused by trauma. I think that is what most people on your side are claiming to believe and I think that is much stronger than your position.

Do you wish to clarify your position?
