    And it was created by a literal empire (my country, Britain), and millions of people died during the enforcement of that partition and displacement.

    the fact that you can articulate this, and seem to understand that i oppose it, but still dress me down like i’m not me and i’m saying something else is incredible. who the fuck are you talking to?

      Because you don’t realise what you’re saying. That’s my point. You have a framework in your head which completely disables you from being able to recognise that Jews are the most victimised people in the history of the human race, and that their struggle for just one state, in their historic homeland and to which they are indigenous, is not a case of colonialism or genocide, and that this is why the rest of the world was so appalled when so many of those of us on the left either celebrated or remained silent about the October 7th Holocaust.

      I fucking LOATHE Netanyahu, and his far-right fundamentalist allies like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. They need to go, yesterday. And there needs to be a renewed peace process. It’s going to take time, frankly the Palestinians are not yet ready to run a state by themselves given the depth of the Nazi-esque antisemitic radicalisation in their society. But it is the right goal, and they do need and deserve a Palestinian state.

        i think you aren’t listening to me. you are arguing against a strawman.
