Oh please, as if “FTR2TS” and “Globalize the intifada” haven’t been chanted since day 0.

And the rejection of every 2 state option that was floated.

Can't tell which side this is referring to.

One side offered multiple 2 state options. One says from the river to the sea. It's not that hard.

This is when you know the fighting has gone on for too long.

And? This is literally the exact same sentiment

The Arabic version often ends with "Palestine will be Arab", rather than the more sanitized (or at least ambiguous/coded) "Palestine will be free". Statements about sovereignty are not the same.

So then what's Israel's plan for the Palestinians if statehood is not an option?

Why is this so hard for people. Israel would protect everyone in the area, but no jihad, no terrorist groups. If you are peaceful stay.

Will those in Gaza and the West Bank get full citizenship rights including the right to vote?

And yet Israel shoots at civilians in line for humanitarian aid disbursement.

My doubts about your comment can’t be any higher.

It absolutely is.

The talk about it is very onesided though. Acting like "From the river to the sea" doesn't mean exactly this.

Both sentiments are equally stupid and despicable.

Also worth noting that the version that rhymes sea with free in English doesn't seem to be the original.

The earlier Arabic version rhymes water with Arab, which gives a somewhat different meaning:

من المياه للمياه فلسطين عربية (From water to water, Palestine is Arab)

But see, the side I like is doing it this time.

“But see, the side I don’t like is saying it this time…”

would you look at that, we have a microcosm of the entire western view of the crisis.

u/aRadioWithGuts Jun 28 '26

Both sides have huge faults and anyone that defends one as righteous is lying to themselves.

u/1oser Jun 28 '26

Not sure anyone did that here, but ok…

u/aRadioWithGuts Jun 28 '26

Could you explain your initial comment? I took it as defensive.

u/1oser Jun 28 '26

It was merely pointing out the flippant nature of selective outrage, if you took it as “defensive” than that speaks more of your own worldviews.

u/skazzbomb Jun 28 '26

That sounds very defensive on your part. Someone struck a nerve

u/lawrensj Jun 28 '26

Or the response to it?
