I am speaking super carefully, because I just got done? maybe arguing with a whole bunch of people from .world who seemed to think any fighting or asymetirical rules of war from palistine was a genocide aganst Isn'treal.
And while I will say things Like I want Isn'treal wiped from the map or even the term isn'treal, I personaly have not ment it as the complete anialation, nor do I think it will come to that, nor do I realisticly think that is what the palistinians want, though I cannot speak for them.
What I would expect the Palistinians would want is their land back ... all of it... and the genocide to stop. and I would be willing to bet, that at some point when the aid stops coming or it gets too uncomfertable they will leave, just from the previous power balances. I do not particularly want to see a mass slaughter of the people of Isn'treal, even if I think some deserve the wall.
I would also like to point out the palistinians really had no other choice, their choices where, do nothing and be genocided slowly and quietly, or fight back, and have a CHANCE of not getting completly wiped out, I am not saying either option was great, but I am saying if I understand the position they where in, I cannot say I would have made a difrent one
@CooperRedArmyDog ah that's interesting I usually find .world to be the instance that has the annoying pro-IDF people in it. Whereas .ml is more reasonable. Maybe it depends on time of day.
Yeah no "wiped from the map" literally means complete annihilation, if you're not genocidal you gotta stop saying genocidal stuff.
I think most reasonable people want Israel to stop occupying Palestine. That doesn't mean we have to mass murder anyone or make them stateless.
Most of the exiled Palestinians I have met basically just want to live on their land in peace and not be settled and occupied and oppressed. Again, being willing to fight for that doesn't mean you have to lose your humanity and become genocidal yourself.
