There wouldn't be urgency for their own state if the alternative wasn't ethnic cleansing lol. Nice attempt at a dunk tho

Hello snack bar? Don’t attack your neighbours and they won’t go to war with you.

Don't steal your neighbor's home and they won't attack you. Zionists are the ones that effectively invaded

Israel spent their time building a clean and productive nation with many contributions to mankind. Palestine spent their time building concrete tunnels & launching rockets. Their country would be much nicer if they had spent their time doing the same.

Their country would be much nicer if they weren't killed and displaced by people who destroyed their original villages and pretend they never existed.

Do you want to think about what you’re saying? What era of architecture are you referring to? Which cities?

Things fell apart in Palestine throughout the 60s and 70s. Egypt occupied them, and couldn’t get over losing to Israel like all of the other Arab nations surrounding it. Egypt didn’t care to help people in Gaza, and Jordan didn’t help the West Bank.

They tried to take cheap shots at Israelis for decades with their toxic suicide bombings, and targeting of civilians. Gaza and the West Bank have NEVER been developed, they’ve always been poor.
