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.
