Meanwhile all the people who fund everything are at work.

Not seeing a lot of rainbow flags out there. Wonder why.

Its sickening to the guts!

"Thousands" = Hundreds of thousands, don't down play it.

So happy to see leftists standing up for terrorists rights.

Hey fellow progressives! Before you get too hoarse screaming about the “rights”” of the Palestinians, let’s get our facts straight:

1. Israel is not a “colonial” power. In fact, Jews are the ONLY people to NOT have colonized the land that the left calls “Palestine.” Jews are the INDIGENOUS people of Palestine, who ruled that land, or major parts of it, from approximately 1,200 BCE until the 7th century BCE, when much of their population was deported to Babylonia in an ethnic cleansing of epic proportions. But the Jewish people returned a century later, when the Persian empire colonized the land, and for the next several hundred years, until they were once again colonized by the Romans, ending with the savage destruction of Jerusalem and their murder and deportation in another mass ethnic cleansing during the 2nd century CE, the land was population primarily by Jews. The land was Jewish, therefore, for about 1,300 years.

2. Palestine does not “belong” to the Palestinian Arab people. From a historical perspective, the Arabs ruled Palestine from the time they invaded and colonized the area in the 7th century, until the 14th century when the Ottoman Turks in turn became the colonizers, and for the next 400 years there was no Arab Palestinian nation. Yes, Arab people made up the vast majority of the population, but Jews also lived in the land, as they had been since 1,200 BCE. In summary, there was a majority Jewish presence in the land for about 1,300 years, regardless of what colonial power was in charge, and a majority Arab presence in the land for about 1,300 years, from the 7th century until the 1950s. (In 1947, the Jews accounted for about a third of the population of Palestine, and received an amount of useable land in proportion to their percentage of the population.) Does the land “belong” to the Jews, because, as the extreme religious Zionists would argue, because they were there first? Or does it “belong” to the Arabs because they were the dominant population more recently?

3. The Jews did not “invade” Palestine by force, as did the British and French, in the first few decades of the 20th century, or the Turks and Arabs before them. ALL the Jews who settled in the area during that time LEGALLY PURCHASED the land from Arab landlords. Other than being White (which presumably is not a crime), Ashkenazi Jews fled Europe due to centuries of prosecution on that continent. The Jewish immigrants did not have an army, only enough money to buy land at inflated prices and a willingness to turn swampland and desert into arable land. Aside from the Jewish settler movement in the West Bank, a relatively recent phenomenon from a historical perspective, the Arab Palestinians and Arabs from surrounding states have been the aggressors and Jews the victims for the past 100 years, including the Arab riots of the 1920s and 1930s, the Arab invasion of Israel in 1948, the seizing of the Suez canal and Staits of Tiran to prevent Israeli shipping in the 19450s, the Arab attack upon Israel in 1967 and again in 1973, and the innumerable bus and café bombings, plane hijackings and killing of Jewish athletes by the PLO throughout the 1970s, the relentless missile attacks by Hezbollah and Hamas over the past 20 years – and the recent murder of Jewish civilians on October 7.

4. Israel is not entirely responsible for the displacement of Arab Palestinians during the 1948 war. Some of them were forced out by Jewish troops, some were told to leave by the invading Arab armies, and the rest simply fled as people do during time of war – exactly how the Jews in the West Bank fled their homes for safety in Israel. What most people in the world don’t know is that the number of Arabs who were displaced from Israel during the 1948 War of Independence, estimated to have been approximately 750,000 Arabs, what Arabs called the “Nakba,” or “catastrophe,” is about the same number of Jews who were subsequently kicked out of the surrounding Arab countries during the 1950s, most of them having their properly confiscated, some of them outright killed by their Arab neighbors. These Mizrahi Jews had lived in those countries for more than 2,000 years, long before the 7th century Arab conquests. So, who ethnically-cleansed who?

5. Israel’s presence in Palestine is not “illegal.” In fact, Israel’s presence in the Middle East is very, very much legal, as it was created by a majority of United Nations members in 1947. When leftists chant, “From the river to the sea, let Palestine be free,” they are asking for the dismantling of the Jewish state, in direct opposition to the will of the U.N. What is the basis, then, of this demand? It has little support, as already mentioned, from a historical perspective, so what else? Arab Palestinians are just better people? Islam is a superior religion? Not very persuasive arguments.

6. Israel is not an “apartheid state.” Arabs living in Israel proper enjoy full citizenship rights as Jews, the Druze, and other minority populations. On the other hand, ALL THE OTHER ARAB NATIONS ARE APARTHEID STATES, where Christians, Kurds, and Yazidis, not to mention all women, gays and political opponents are not just treated as inferior, but often systematically attacked, ethnically cleansed, and otherwise persecuted. The West Bank is disputed territory, not part of Israel proper. Yes, Israel has engaged in harsh tactics at times in response to terror attacks from Hamas and other jihadist organizations, and has violated the civil rights of many West Bank Arabs, not all of them jihadists. Israel, like all nations in the world, has good people and some bad people.

7. Israel is not the reason why a two-state solution has not been agreed upon by the two parties. Clearly, Netanyahu’s actions have not been conducive to any peace process, but his counter-productive policies, including support for the right-wing settlers has come only after repeated efforts on the part of Israel to make peace. More recently, in 2000, with the help of the Clinton administration, representatives, Israel offered the Palestinians a state of their own, in about 95% of the West Bank, and Gaza. Arafat rejected the offer. Soon after, Palestinians engage in the Second Intifada, once again killing Jews and demonstrating vividly their complete rejection of any two-state solution. Then, in 2008, the Omert administration gave the Palestinians another chance to get a state of their own, with terms even more generous than those offered in 2000. It was rejected, as it was in 2000, because of the Palestinians’ insistence on the “right of return” of a million Palestinian refugees to re-locate to Israel, which would end Israel as a viable Jewish state.

Despite all the talk in the West about a two-state solution, the so-called “moderate” Palestinian leadership has consistently opposed it. College students who aren’t just virtue-signaling, but really care about the sad plight of the Palestinian people need to put the blame where it belongs – on the corrupt leadership which has repeatedly failed them. So, if we are far away from a genuine two-state solution, it has until very recently been 100% the fault of the Arabs. Even now, if Israel were to cede the West Bank to the Palestinians, history tells us that it would soon be attacked, just as it has been from Gaza. The solution? You tell me. One thing for sure: Israel is not going away.
