Palestinian interlocutors for a two-state solution have actually conceded substantial parts of their rightful territorial due on several occasions (with Arafat even having allowed Israel to annex 5-10% of the West Bank during Oslo) yet have been rebuffed by Israel every time lol

The idea that being female is an important part of womanhood (and conversely that maleness is an important part of manhood) does not in any way imply that either identity is reducible to its respective category lmao
@LuxAlptraum
No? Zionism very specifically denotes the desire for a state with a permanent Jewish demographic majority whereas the whole point of anti-Zionism is that this desire is immoral and ought not to be validated lmao

Just to be clear—you don’t think it was fully within European Jews’ right to engage in armed resistance to Nazi rule before WWII began (whether in Germany or any of the countries it annexed during the interwar period), yes?

The Palestinian claim to the land is premised on fairly standard Wilsonian discourses of self-determination and civic nationalism (as opposed to the Israeli one which is just ethnonationalist irredentist garbage but for Jews)

You do realize that the exact brand of “oppressor vs oppressed” Manicheanism you’re criticizing here is deployed by Zionists all the time to defend Israeli war crimes, right?

That would track considering Zionists’ endless fearmongering over Palestinian attempts to erase Israel’s “Jewish character” [i.e. demographic supermajority]

Israel never “offered” any proposals of its own accord lmfao, literally every attempt at brokering a two-state solution ever was mediated by the Americans and in all cases negotiations collapsed due to Israeli transience over the idea of a truly sovereign Palestinian state
@AshlarRob
that is because "antisemitism" is fake and a genocidal ideologeme. anti-jewish sentiment post-1948 ought to be viewed within the context of jewish collective culpability for zionism.

There not being a breach of continuity doesn’t mean the policy was “exactly the same” after Israel murdered 10 aid workers in broad daylight lmfao, it just means that the latter didn’t fundamentally change its og aims (i.e. to extricate Palestinians in Gaza from the WB)

Your problem with the pro-Palestine crowd is that they cite the punitive effects of the separation policy without acknowledging that it softened after the flotilla massacre, but if said punitive effects lingered even after the fact then what difference does it make lmao???
