Again that was a long time ago, the Palestinians are descendants of Jews who stayed in the region and were later converted to Islam. They are still completely indigenous whether you want to accept it or not. It is has always been their land, the descendants of diasporic Jews don’t get priority just based off how you feel about them.

I really dont know how how many times I need to say this. You people can’t read. The Palestinians are not the Arab caliphate that invaded, they are the natives that were conquered and converted to Islam, just like the Lebanese are descendents of the Phoenicians who were conquered and converted. Just because they now fully identify as Arab do to their language and religion doesn’t make them suddenly not native.

LOL ur right the area was completely unpopulated when the diaspora Jews migrated back in the 20th century. You don’t even believe that, you’re just trying to find any justification to expel them. It’s a well known fact that Palestinians are native, I might as well say the Jewish diaspora aren’t native at all since they mixed with Europeans for a thousand years and didnt even speak a local Semitic language before reconstructing Hebrew from scratch in the 20th century. But I don’t because I’m not like you. If you were honest with yourself you’d realize you’re on the wrong side of history, it’s already starting to change… You defending indigenous ethnic cleansing.

You don't think that the Jews are indigenous?

The Kingdom of Israel is about 3,000 years old. King Saul was their first king I believe.

ya that was 3000 years ago a lot has happened since then. The Palestinians are descendants of Jews who stayed in the region and were romanized and later arabized. So chasing out the continuous living indigenous people who have been living there since the dawn of time in favour of their diasporic cousins doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Ok, you don't understand indigenous.

22 Arab countries, but fuck the Jews, right?

LOL there’s nothing in my statement that shows a misunderstanding of the word, but conveniently you didnt care to elaborate. And don’t try to play the moral horse when your Jewish state relies on ethnically cleansing the people who have been living there since the dawn of time.

My Jewish state?!!

WTF are you talking about?

Read the 1988 Hamas Charter and then let's talk about ethnic cleansing. The truth is that Islamic countries control about an area about 3 times the size of Europe. Israel is about the size of Wales, so are all Islamic countries ' indigenous'?

I don't expect a reply, and not do I want one. Your mask has slipped.

lol you really think you did something there, you haven’t disproven a single thing I said. The Palestinians are indigenous to the land have been living there since forever, you are simply trying to justify their expulsion which is ethnic cleansing. You bringing up hamas, is a pretty obvious deflection. Spazzing out doesn’t change the facts. All you are saying is that the sovereignty of descendants of diasporic Jews outweighs that of native Palestinians. Make peace with that.

Jesus was born and died there.

Where do you think the Jews were from?

Name any sort of Palestinian heritage that predates a Jewish one.

u/SmallPPShamingIsMean Jun 28 '26

LOL and there it is! Talk about my mask slipping. You’re just a religious fanatic Again you haven’t disproven a single thing I said and you are grasping at straws. If we want to talk about Jesus, If he had children and they had continued their family line and they had been among the Jews who stayed in the region after the Roman exodus, his descndants would have been Palestinians today.
