Ottomans were the first Arabs in Israel, it was a Jewish semi-autonomous region of Rome inhabited by mainly Hebrews and Assyrians until the Ottomans took over.

So then you support Israel? Because if the Ottomans stole the land, and the people the land was being stolen from were the Israeli Hebrew Jews, and you support the people who's land was stolen by Ottomans, than you support Israel.

They were Christians at the time of the Mamluk takeover, the Mamluks replaced them with Muslim arabs who joined the Ottomans in the 1500s.

No. Every intelligent people would have suck with it 'till they were effectively able to fuck them up. Palestinian were given a not so good deal but still decent one. Then they genuinely tried to genocide the jews and lost. And thus as the adage sayed, "vae victis" especially when the "victis" isn't the one who was expected at first.

Oh yeah relations between the jews and rome were just peachy rome was definitely down with local autonomy and culture independence of its provinces
except the part where the romans drove most of the jews out of judea

The Israelis are an evil people and evil must be defeated with evil. That tiny sliver of land is worth more than life to the Palestinians who day after day blow themselves up and die in gunfights to protect it. The Israelis commit terrible war crimes against the Palestinians all I support is returning the favor.

I don't watch this thread but I believe I'm not the first to point out the United States of America and Israel were founded in similar ways, making things like these... not having a very strong point.
Image

What do you think is the main reason people generally do not acknowledge the US's actions but actively and passionately point out literally everything that Israel does?

Maybe the fact that one of them happened hundreds of years ago and the other happening now is a main reason, but surely there must be a lot of antizionism (and veiled antisemitism - the two not interchangeable) coming into play?

edit: Despite the above, I find that Israel's actions are still no less excusable than the genocide of millions of Native Americans, even though the latter has done much more damage.

Maybe because people don't like Jews or native Americans have integrated in American society now. and to be honest most people with Native American ancestry are white people who are 0.00000002 percent Cherokee. with the picture, how about 2000 bc (or something like that) Israel has the land, and then America takes all of it. And then go back to that pic.

Especially for Gazans, it's their only hope. Maybe if Israel wasn't there they may have been just politically unstable just like some Middle Eastern countries right now, but I believe it is Hamas who keeps their morale up.

So you think the existence of Israel today is more justified than the USA? I kinda agree. Replace Israel with America/White people, and America with Native Americans in that pic, and you get what actually happened.

Definitely Israel existing is more justified than America existing (coming from an American). But then again I think America has done a lot of good and a lot of bad, but if America never existed we wouldn't be talking now, although that would be good in a way, less global warming and all that crap. But it's too late to return it to the native Americans, there aren't that many, like what I said before about the percent and stuff.

Because they're the only people who will stand up to Israel because even though the Palestinian Authority is all about peace they still get shit all from Israel. Not to mention Israel killing thousands of people in Gaza gives Hamas a lot of new recruits who are very angry.

They're the only people to stand up to us cause of the war in '67. 3 against 1 and israel beat them in 6 days. May I mention that Hamas hides in schools and hospitals as well
