It was external settlers generally, especially starting around the Law of Return being a thing. Wikipedia and other sources says about 50% come from Europe and Russia, and the other generally from the surrounding Middle Eastern countries once Israel became a thing and started calling people towards it. Even today, lots of people immigrate there from Europe or the US.

Are you talking from thousands of years ago? That's a strange justification to kick people out of their houses in the last 70 years, but I am down to read other sources if you've got them. I am admittedly still pretty new to this whole subject.

Was Rabin the one assassinated by a Zionist who was so close to making a good treaty? If so, we need more of those.

I think they mean they just share the land with the Palestinians, the people who they threw out when they got there.

If the US can manage it with African Americans or Native Americans, or South Africa can manage it post apartheid, or the UK can manage it after the Troubles, I think it's possible. It won't be easy, but it's worth the work to stop the violence.

Wasn't there some companion game to EVE Online that was supposed to be like that?

I loved Final Fantasy IX but sometimes I think I dreamed it because no one else ever talks about it, just VI, VII, and then over to X usually lol.

Damn that sucks. That guy should quit, or just do the job the slowest they can.

You're justifying thousands of deaths, including mostly children. It's not a war, it's a slaughter against a mostly civilian populace to justify taking out a terrorist group they propped up themselves and continue to inflame with policies like kicking them out of their homes, the blockade, restricting their aid and food and trade, controlling their air and water space, controlling their trash, electricity, and now they've been trying to control oil found on their land.

May I suggest you don't fill your heart with hatred and learn to have some empathy for civilians that look different than you or speak different than you?

I'm mostly talking in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, places in the modern period that have used settler colonialism to displace and destroy indigenous populations.

As for the playbook, generally it's you move a big population in at once, set up shop, take over, tell any locals to move over and enforce it with violence, use a treaty to keep the land and move them over permanently. Then, individuals slowly expand to their land, sometimes rogue, but usually supported by the government either way. They push the boundaries of the "given land" or take resources from it, the native population plea for help is ignored until they push back with violence, the colonizers retaliate with overwhelming force, enough to keep the land settlers have been slowly taking anyway and probably take more, the populations are displaced more, either put in a smaller box or forced to move over again. Repeat.

And God help them if there's resources revealed to be in their area, like oil.

Tbh, the Hamas did get kind of something out of this in that the Palestinian crisis got more attention than I've ever seen before. A new generation of young people have seemed to have escaped the Israeli propaganda and support freedom for Palestinians. Hopefully, people don't forget after the ceasefire and we get some sort of more permanent solution, preferably a one state one, but Joe and other leaders prefer a two state one, but whatever works.

So the teacher was supporting against Zionism and occupation? That middle picture confused me. Did that student just get confused, too, and mi's-typed?
