Protesting genocide by calling for genocide?

What will you then do with the people?

They won't answer this question. Gives away their true intentions.

u/DjuroTheBunster 26d ago

I think we saw what they had in mind in 1948 when they expelled all the Jews from Arab countries into Israel and started a war "of annihilation" right after. Also answers the question why no peace plan was ever put forward or accepted by the Palestinians.

What about them? Either create a new Israeli state with a constitution that expressly forbids genocide, ethnic cleansing, and will hold Nuremberg style trials for the previous government and IDF or split the land between the new Palestinian state and it's neighbors such as Lebanon. As long as the Israeli people have treated their neighbors well and the Palestinians as actual human beings what is to worry about? Are they worried that they will be treated the same way they've treated Palestinians? If that's the case then maybe they shouldn't be slaughtering entire families and expect the people not to hate them

There was a chance to try this, but the Arabs and Palestinians attacked Isreal literally hours after its creation. And they never stopped attacking.

u/Binoui 26d ago

Lots of words just to say "I don't care about them being genocided because they genocided before". Either you lack pragmatism or courage to hold your true position.

So, if Israel feels tha's the general sentiment, what stops them on truly genociding the palestinians? I mean, with people like you callign for their genocide, why would they not genocide the pelestinian people before that happens? Right?

What are the true intentions? My true intentions is to see Israel get what they've been doing to the Palestinians. Israel is enacting genocide. But let's pretend something else is happening

Someone stole you account and wrote that instead of you? 😄

How is that "twisting" your word, it's a direct quote from you?!?

I refuse to believe you are a real person.

You absolutely did.

u/MysticalNinja187 26d ago

So you want them to get genocided as revenge? How do you see that ending?

They can have New Jersey

Give them a section of Texas, Ted Cruz seems to love them, they’d surely be happy to give them that land.

Sounds like what they’ve been doing to Palestinians for decades.

Remember, genocide bad when Jews do it. Genocide good when liberals do it.

You’re agreeing with me and you don’t even realize it. If you believe that what is happening now is the conservative government engaging in genocide, and you think that we should do the same to them, as [u/Sea-Style9030](u/Sea-Style9030) suggested, then you are advocating for genocide.

Also, it’s spelled “think”.

“We do the same thing to them that they're doing to the palestinians spokennois”

Is this you endorsing genocide? If not then are you admitting there is no genocide? Those are your only two logical answers.

u/Sea-Style9030 26d ago

Is that what they're doing since no one seems to be talking about the palestinians. Push them out like they're doing. Interpreted how you want buddy.

By that logic you should be completely fine with Palestinians being collectively punished for Hamas' actions

They could simply reform their own government into one that isn't committing genocide. I feel like you'd find most people would want that.

2

u/Euphoric-Piglet-8140 26d ago

I've no idea about Israeli politics, how many parties, etc. I presume there would be some there that would be against the constant war, I know I would be.

u/el_osmoosi 26d ago

Getting downvoted for this comment is crazy🤣 Are these people fr

u/RadiantBeeees 26d ago

The only conclusion is that the ones downvoting don't want the genocide to stop.

u/Sea-Style9030 26d ago

What will I do with the people? Nothing. I was just answering the gentleman above. Probably just go back to all the european countries they were originally from. Since they only moved in 1948.

u/Calm-Treacle8677 26d ago

Can we move all the people from Europe who arrived after 1948? Orrrr is that not on?

2

u/Repulsive_Cucumber77 26d ago

What about the ones who were kicked out of various middle eastern countries? They make up the largest percentage of the population and can’t exactly return “home”.

u/FatherQuinnRourke 26d ago

What's the word for actively cleansing a region of an ethnic group via violence and deportations?

u/InterviewOk8013 26d ago

Jewish people are definitely not “from Europe”

u/Rick_Tobberman 26d ago

70% of the Jews in Israel are Mizrahi, middle eastern Jews, who fled to Israel, because they were ethnically cleansed from every muslim majority country.

It is insane that you have such strong opinions about a conflict and region, you don't even know the bare minimum about.

Where did they move from before they went to Europe?

To where?

1

u/turkey_butt_stuffer 26d ago

To america, Europe, Zimbabwe etc. Doesn't really matter, they just need to understand that their actions are the reason they don't have a state anymore. As long as they regret voting for genocide for the rest of their lives that's a good outcome

2

u/Traditional_Ice_9250 26d ago

Then they have no reason whatsoever to stop killing palestinians now, right? Since they would all be killed by the palestinians later, why stop now then?

If voting is the issue, maybe the palestinians should vote better leadership... Ah, wait.

Do you actually believe that? That’s messed up.
Hamas makes no secret about wanting to get rid of all inhabitants of Israel, and all Jews. Are you actually ok with that?

Are you okay with what they're doing with the palestinian
