Your first statement of "there's totally Christians in Palestine"

Yes it's true. Your own links prove I am right LOL. Not only that, many figures in Palestinian resistance are Christian. Examples: George Habash, founder of the PFLP. Shireen Abu Akleh, she was a journalist that Israelis murdered last year in cold blood.

There's an entire Wikipedia article about Palestinian Christians. You might learn something (I doubt it, you don't seem to be the kind):

nice whataboutism, bringing up the 2nd Gulf War without addressing the very real issue in the first one

I didn't imagine you would have so much trouble understanding that the west has a record of justifying war with bullshit claims. The first gulf war was due to, supposedly, Saddam's involvement in Kuwait and doing horrendous things. It was later proven that the woman who testified in front of the UN to justify this war was lying. More here:

I chose not to continue arguing your other points

"I only cherry pick the arguments I may have a chance not looking stupid responding to". I am sorry to break it to you, you look just as stupid in all the arguments, and your cherry picking is not a good look.

You said you would stop replying yet here you are. I urge you to stop wasting my time and spreading misinformation.

Last thing I'll add: you've started to engage in adhom attacks. I'm going to let it pass since I personally don't care, and imo you only embarrass yourself doing them. But if I see you doing that with anyone else in this community, I'll have to ban you. So please keep your insulting in check.

An outspoken supporter of genocide and colonialism? Yeah that's a ban from me.

So you're saying native Americans have every right to kill, maim and rape settler-colonialist Americans?

Where did OP say this? It is a bannable offense so please point out where, as I don't see it.

What matters isn't who came first. What matters is that no one has the right to expel a human from a land they're living in. That is the core of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

I am pro Palestine, but have no issue with the increase of Jewish migrations in the 19th century. The problem is not Jewish migration. It is the fact that Israel expelled Palestinians from their homes, murdered them, suffocated them, and made their lives miserable.

And this is the same thing that was done to the native people of the modern day Americas.

Hamas is not even a fraction of the concern that Israel is. Casualties are not even order of magnitudes close. Even the horrific ways in which Israel has tortured and murdered Palestinians is unmatched by Hamas, despite it being a militia rather than an organized army judged by the international community.

Israel has burned children alive, they have officials who bragged about raping and torturing children, they make people destroy their own homes by THEIR OWN HANDS. And this is while Israel has the upper hand, yet it is still the more horrifying of the two by many orders of magnitude. Comparing the two is sickening.

If more than one entity massacred people, it means massacre is okay? Very strange logic. Do bad things have to be done by only one entity to be considered bad?

Yeah uhh... Not at all, actually.

Welcome to the Internet. Do you know how it works?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So... Average history?

No

Other examples existing does not change that it is historically unprecedented and far from the norm. And its just a really strange and pointless thing to point.

Person A: "my dad died in a car bomb" Person B: "ehh, average family death" A: "uhh what?" B: "well, there are other examples of people dying in car bombs, dude! "

I don't doubt this at all, but any resources on this?
