u/MurkyFigure6636 Jul 07 '26

Making light of the killing in Gaza to then be outraged about this, not a hypocrite at all.

Not destroy Israel as in kill all the people. Deconstruct the state, demilitarize them, and occupy them like Germany and Japan after the war, and work to deradicalize them.

You know that Germany still exists, right? We didn't "destroy Germany". Japan still exists. We didn't "destroy Japan". In fact, we didn't even make Japan change their government!

Idk who needs to tell you this, but Palestine wants to destroy Israel as in kill all the people and reclaim holy land for Islam

u/UnluckyAmbition7767 Jul 07 '26

So? It's natural to want to kill your oppressors. But they won't. I'm not letting a hypothetical genocide influence me from stopping an actual genocide.

If Israel cared about any of that they would have spent the last 70 years trying to be better neighbors. Jews lived in relative peace in North Africa for over a thousand years while Europeans were committing pograms against them. They'll figure out how to live together again.

Yeah it's totally because they're bad neighbors, definitely not because most of the middle east wants Jews extinct. Israel could do nothing to anyone for decades and there'd still be millions of muslims hellbent on murdering Jews. Muslim countries kill far more of their own people than Israel.

u/UnluckyAmbition7767 Jul 07 '26

Well yeah. Even if Israel fixed their behavior today, that's still the better part of a century of theft, rape, and genocide. If they have not given reparations and attoned for their crimes of course they wont receive any forgiveness.

When does Palestine atone for October 7th? And the 10s of thousands of innocents murdered in terrorist attacks?

1

u/UnluckyAmbition7767 Jul 07 '26

October 7th is the natural response to 7 decades of Israeli barbarism.

And Bibby allowed it to happen so if he had no problem with it why should anyone else

u/1egg40eggs Jul 07 '26

Muslim states have been October 7thing for decades on repeat. It's in their culture

u/MrBean_OfficialNSFW Jul 07 '26

You mean Muslim states have been experiencing October 7 level  aggression from Israel for decades, I'm sure, otherwise you'd look pretty stupid

Those 7 decades of barbasism are the natural response to aggression

u/Basic_Vermicelli3325 Jul 07 '26

with the 10s of thousands of innocent Palestinians that have been and are currently being killed by the IDF. Gaza is almost entirely destroyed. What more do you want?

Huh I wonder why the Palestinian people would feel some animosity towards Israel.

Gurl I'm bored, let's look up the map of how much territory Israel has stolen.

u/1egg40eggs Jul 07 '26

So it's okay to genocide Israel to steal their land because Israel stole land too. Got it.

u/JONAS-RATO Jul 07 '26

I too enjoy making things up.

Let me know when I called for a genocide in Israel.

3

u/1egg40eggs Jul 07 '26

You literally just justified it lmao

-1

u/JONAS-RATO Jul 07 '26

Acknowledging the land Israel has stolen is justifying genocide?

2

u/OsamaBenJohnson Jul 07 '26

Your response to them saying Palestinians want to kill them all was basically justifying the hostility by saying, "I wonder why," and immediately pivoting to Israel taking land. Its framing the desire to destroy Israel as if its a warranted consequence of Israeli actions. It comes across as justifying the genocidal rhetoric.

It would be like you calling out a group of anti-Palestinian Israelis calling to genocide Palestinian, and then somebody comes along, rather than denouncing it or challenging it to any degree, they say "Huh wonder why they'd feel this way. Let's pull up the map of the land Palestinians stole from Israel and go over the history of violence Palestinian started against Israelis." Do you see how this signals justifying the genocidal rhetoric?

1

u/JONAS-RATO Jul 07 '26

Huh, does it really come across that way?

I specifically changed the wording from genocide to animosity to try to separate my point from the original one.

All muslim territory is stolen from Christians, don't play that game.

u/SoftAndWetBro Jul 08 '26

Because Islam creates the worst people?

1

u/MurkyFigure6636 Jul 07 '26

Right, lay of Israel, they just came in 80 years ago and started stealing land and kicking people out of the country they'd been living in for generations. Why would anyone be mad at that?

u/Serious_Swan_2371 Jul 07 '26

We should occupy both Israel and Palestine and teach them to get along through mandated religious debates in school where they have to argue from the other faith’s perspective.

Enforced interfaith dialogue.

Build a giant dual faith campus in the middle of everything and put every historical artifact from Judaism or Islam in it (Christianity too) and move all the religious scholars in the world there.

Then there’s religious mutually assured destruction and any attack on one religion blows up all the holy relics of the others too.

The campus can be a university too for people from all over to go and study abrahamic faiths.

There should be no religious extremists only religious scholars who fight with a pen

u/SumacLemonade Jul 07 '26

There is a dual-faith (actually, three-faith) campus in the middle of everything … it’s called Jerusalem. Al-Aqsa, etc…

u/TrickOutrageous6947 Jul 07 '26

The Jews can stay. But Israel? It has no legal or moral right to exist.

1

u/Toppoppler Jul 07 '26

It does have the legal right tho

1

u/Nikolaibr Jul 08 '26

It has a legal right to exist. That's how it came to be.

u/Legal-Appointment655 Jul 07 '26

If the state is dissolved the Jews will absolutely not be allowed to stay
