    Please explain to me how their narrative is simplistic and have nothing to do with reality.

    In case you don’t know history, Palestine has been predominately Muslim since the 12th century. In 1800 there were 2000 Jews living there, to 246000 Muslims. In 90 years, there was 43000 Jewish people. 1922, 84000 Jews to 589000 Muslims. 1931 - 175000 Jews to 760000 Muslims Then came 1947 and magically 630000 Jews to 1181000 Muslims. Then during Nakba, 750000 Palestinians were thrown out from their homes. 55% of Palestine was assigned to less than 30% of population, a population that literally wasn’t there 150 years before. Israel then took 78% of the land, ignoring the UN.

    So people who previously owned 7% of the land and consisting of 30% of the population, got the larger half of all of the territory, 2/3rds of the coastline, then took even more of it.

        Imagine supporting literal nazis. If you ever thought you were a good person - right now shows you aren’t. You are a genocide apologist. Countless orgs deemed it a genocide - including the UN and Amnesty International. You are naive if you think Israel will stop. But there is no point in arguing with a zionist.

          I don’t think you know what the word “literal” means. But anyway, we disagree about how to categorize what is happening in Israel, and possibly what the solution might be, but I don’t think you are a bad person because of it. I don’t even know you. But I hope you have a good day.

            There is no “debate” here or “agree to disagree”. You are a genocide denier, plain and simple. You don’t have a moral highground here.
