    How dare they contain the belligerent monoethnic nation that’s actively trying to genocide them. What jerks, must be racism, or apartheid, or some other shocking term you want to call their self defense.

    The Arabs that stayed in Israel through the nakba seem to be doing pretty well, gee, maybe this situation isn’t about race after all, but rather it’s about safety like they have always claimed it is.

      I’ll just mention that literally hundreds of thousands of people were expelled from Palestine. You should read more about the Nakba before saying stuff like that.

      They just want to return to their homes they were violently expelled from. Yes, it would be within their rights to use violence to expel the literal theives from their homes.

      What jerks, must be racism, or apartheid, or some other shocking term you want to call their self defense.

      These terms are true. It is a shocking situation, especially Gaza. Israel bombed their airport, won’t let them go too far off the coast, walled them off, control everything about what goes into Gaza (hell, they couldn’t get pasta at one point), 97% of the water they get isn’t potable. The food they do receive is calorie tracked and once described by Israel as “putting the Palestinians on a diet”. They can’t get concrete to rebuild shit Israel blows up regularly. That shit is fucking bleak.

      but rather it’s about safety like they have always claimed it is.

      It is, the oppressor is trying to keep the land they stole from the oppressed. It also hasnt stopped, and it’s obvious that it’s a continuous project. The ones who are there now know they’re on borrowed time and many will resist.
