  No, it started in 1948. And it was started by several Arab nations, who invaded immediately after Britain released their mandate in the region protecting Israelis.

  Heard of the six day war? How about the Yom kipour war? Who started any of them?

    1948 is the year Israel began their genocide by killing or displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people, after which several neighbouring nations staged a joint military intervention.

    Imagine claiming history has spanned a total of 75 years and that an attempted invasion at the beginning of time justifies a genocide in progress today.

      Lemme ask you a question: how did Jerusalem get its name, and who lived there and named it thousands of years ago?

        Will the answer justify the genocide?

        No.

        Why should anyone care, and why do you deflect to this with less integrity than literal Nazis, who at least tend to own their genocidal positions?

    They also tried to straight up genocide Israel two more times afterwards too.

  Ah yes, the good ol “they deserved it”

    Pointing to an ongoing genocide isn’t the same as saying citizens of the state committing that genocide deserved it.

    That said, it’s interesting though not at all surprising that you’re running right past the tens of thousands that Israel have killed to cry victim about the couple of hundred that Hamas killed.

        Pretty sure he’s saying you don’t beat a dog and get to act surprised when it bites.

        No - you’re making it clear you support a genocide as I scale my concern relative to the civilian death toll and ability to stop the violence.

        The fact that you’re saying literal babies are members of a jihadist movement tells us all we need to know.
