“Colonialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country. It contents itself with bringing to light the natural resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country’s industries, thereby allowing certain sectors of the colony to become relatively rich. But the rest of the colony follows its path of under-development and poverty, or at all events sinks into it more deeply.”

anyways free palestine, stay woke, use google instead of a palestinian who is tired of defending her right to exist
are Jews and zionists the same thing?
no and a quick google search would have yielded a faster answer
i’m curious tho what do you think would happen if it turned back into one Palestinian state what would happen to the Jews? where would they go?
they don’t have to go anywhere like… why does giving palestinians equal rights suddenly mean ethnic cleansing is inevitable. it’s almost like jews, christians, and muslims have been living in that same part of the world together for hundreds of years or something
hey, genuine question from someone who tries hard to understand the situation in Palestine: do you believe most people in Gaza and the West Bank and in Israel would support a one state solution? cause I know how much state terror is practiced by Israel and the Zionists but the rest of the Jewish people there, do they believe in a one state solution? and (you guys) Palestinians who have been suffering for so long?
most palestinians i know want a one state solution because they want equal rights in the country they and their ancestors were born in. i don’t know the consensus among israelis, if there is one, but current political powers in israel don’t want to demilitarize palestine or lift the siege on gaza and also don’t want to afford palestinians the same rights as jewish people.
there is definitely liberal israeli support for the palestinian cause but i’m certain their opinions differs vs an israeli settler, for example.
yeah it’s absolutely insane to me how there is documented history of people living in that part of the world and they still think palestinians are an “invented people”. and then telling us to just accept being violently expelled from our homes and settle for living as a refugee somewhere else bc we share the same language… unreal
serene sorry i’m stupid but i’m curious are Palestinians their own people or like consider themselves Arabs? I once heard someone say there’s many Arab countries so why can’t the Palestinians go there since there’s only one Jewish state in the whole world but aren’t Palestinians their own like people? Pls educate me
palestinians consider themselves arabs but asking why they can’t just “go there” to other arab countries is mind boggling lmfao. do people think palestinians popped out of the ground in 1948? or they fell from the sky? or that israel was just empty and uninhabited until 1948? that region of the world is home to some of the earliest civilizations, palestine and palestinians have existed for 1000s of years. then in 1948 they are kicked off their land and stripped of their human rights thereafter but that doesn’t matter because they’re arab and they can just go somewhere else???? seriously? why are the rights of one population more important than the rights of the another? why does one group deserve security and right of return and land ownership but another doesn’t?
not to mention that millions of palestinians DID go somewhere else. they fled to jordan and syria and lebanon. many still live in refugee camps located in those countries today with no right to return to the country they and their family were born in.
like you ask me if palestinians consider themselves arabs so that you can justify them being stripped of everything because they can go to another arab state. no one would ever make that assertion if the people of a european country were suddenly slaughtered and kicked out of their country. would you say “they’re white, can’t they just go to another white country?”
a one state solution also doesn’t mean that the jewish population is suddenly evicted. like the fact that ppl can’t conceive of a palestine where people of all religions can live together with equal rights just shows how little they care about palestinians having the right to live as equals instead of as second class citizens.
yup. there is no respect for palestinian autonomy, sovereignty, or land, and that makes a two state solution impossible.
why don’t you believe in a two state solution?
two state solution is occupation lite, apartheid 2.0. it’s also never going to happen. one state with an equal society with full restoration of palestinian rights is far preferable, but israel (and thus its allies) doesn’t want to allow palestinians basic human rights. it also makes no sense to kick people off their land… again… and then call it “fair” because you drew up new borders for them. that’s ethnic cleansing.
