My dude, Palestine has been attacked by terrorists and forced to split its country in two. It's irellevant if the terrorists then went "here, have some money you poor fucks". They still stole the land and homes of the people living there. They still are responsible for a mass exodus, and the destruction of a nation. They still killed millions to keep that land theirs.
Don't get it twisted. Their humanitarian efforts are not because they're good people. They're just so they can keep feigning legitimacy and moral superiority.
But it seems the ship has sailed and everyone's collective mind doesn't go back before the 1990s, so I guess fuck Palestine, what a mean thing to do, how dare you bomb the ~~terrorists that reside in your homes~~ civilians.
They didn’t kill millions, my dude, in any point in time. And Palestinian nationalism literally developed as a response to Zionism. Pan Arabism was very much the order of the day until the 48 war. Do you not understand how the fellahin had their land sold out from under them by the landed Arab gentry living in Beirut? There’s plenty of blame to go around, but feel free to pretend that the Jews are the only reason the Palestinians are in the position they are today.
