The "recognition" from the UN in 1948 took place when most of Africa was colonized and many of the countries in the global south were essentially bullied into it. So it's all good that the world is on the side of Palestine, but Palestine is more than just the '48 or '67 borders or whatever

    This is how you lose support for your cause. If you actually care about palestinians, a ceasefire is the only viable option.

    More like gain support, you dumbass.

    “I’m convinced that many of the very people who supported us in the struggle in the South are not willing to go all the way now. I came to see this in a very difficult and painful way. In Chicago the last year, where I’ve lived and worked. Some of the people who came quickly to march with us in Selma and Birmingham weren’t active around Chicago. And I came to see that so many people who supported morally and even financially what we were doing in Birmingham and Selma, were really outraged against the extremist behavior of Bull Connor and Jim Clark toward Negroes, rather than believing in genuine equality for Negroes.”

    From MLK, this is basically you you fucking dipshit.

      Many of these comments are straight up calling for genocide or displacement of all israelis. Your post implies it. Youre not calling for equality and you dont give a fuck about palestinians: youre just anti-west/anti-US

        Oh no those poor white people! God, I wish there was some precedence to look towards for what happens to colonizers when their colonization project gets destroyed; but alas this has never happened! I can only conclude that the colonizers will face retributive justice relative to the atrocities they've committed.

        Genuinely though South Africa and Rhodesia show that when these crybully Nazis get their racist state taken away they just move to Europe or the US so they keep getting white privelege. Elon Musk is one of the richest men alive and he's Afrikaner.

        Did you know that in South Africa, a great source of shame among the white minority is that there was no retributive violence when apartheid ended? Black people did not go and commit mass murder against their oppressors. The colonial whites really were just uniquely awful in how they treated people, and the almost entirely peaceful dissolution of apartheid continues to weigh on South African whites as a tremendous guilt that repudiates for all time the foundations of their racist political project. The same will happen in israel.
