    I am ashkenazi jewish and i think if the “israelis” want to stay in the holy land, they should be given palestinian citizenship and learn to live alongside their literal cousins. Modern israel is a settler colonial project propped up by the american military industrial compelx and as such will never be an equitable solution.

      The holy land is a myth. We are literally killing people over a 2000 year old myth, it is maddening that in modern society we act like we know what the fuck was going on 2000 years ago and someone somewhere owns it bcz a fucking book says so… Hell, we dont know what was going on 50 years ago.

        It is holy in the same sense that indigenous lands are sacred. And yet there the zionists go, slaughtering the indigenous. Its almost like it was based on Manifest Destiny (it was)

          Only this time the irony is lost on the dickwads doing it. A generation ago their grandparents and parents were the ones getting murdered just for existing. Survivors of the holocaust would be ashamed of their behavior.

      I just realized this is uplifting news. Of all the things, who is this delusional to think this is actually good news? They are just mucking around and doing nothing. The UN is dead in my eyes.
