Nice to see you too, @Rajk999
😆
@TheListener saidMr Spruce112358, supports Islamic extremism and in the case of Hamas it is the killing of Jews. Hold on, you will see it for yourself.
Who supports killing Jews? Would that same person likewise support those who slaughtered them on Oct 7?
Watch for me in the Trump rally tonite, 7 eastern. I’ll be way front,

@Rajk999 saidWhat I don't support is ethnic cleansing, such as:
Mr Spruce112358, supports Islamic extremism and in the case of Hamas it is the killing of Jews. Hold on, you will see it for yourself.
* Hitler ethnically cleansing Poland to create 'lebensraum' (living space) for people he deemed 'superior.'
* Native American 'relocations' to Oklahoma to open up areas for European settlement
* Israel ethnically cleansing Palestinian villages during the Nakba in the 1940's, creating Jewish settlements in the West Bank, and the current war to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
None of those things should ever have happened. People need to be able to live where they are living. They should never be forced to move to create 'lebensraum' for people of the right race or religion or skin color or whatever. True, it's a very old human notion but, along with slavery and exploitation, we should NEVER, EVER embrace it.
Nobody said anything about killing Jews. That doesn't need to happen and it shouldn't happen.
But the current Israel regime should be dismantled and replaced by one that represents all the people who live(d) in that region equally.
@Rajk999 saidI have not really followed all this, as it has been going on for 10,000 years, their way of life, if you will.

But as I understand it is step one of all this is that the Israeli were killed in their beds at night. Slaughtered. Thousands of them or something. Would that not be what started all of this, which means the Israelis have to defend themselves? Were the murderers not the bad guys? Asking for a friend, which is me
@TheListener saidWe agree. The bad guys need to be eliminated. But they run and hide among the civilians, and the only way they can do that is with full civilian support.

@spruce112358 saidThe Nakba is the fault of the Arabs. Here is the story again according to historical accounts:

- The British partitioned the land with the full support of the UN
- The Jews accepted and started setting up a state of Israel
- The Arabs refused and gathered an army of 5 surrounding Arab states to kill the Jews.
- The war started and the Arabs lost, and fled.
The right of return is only applicable under the UN guidelines if those affected can return to their land and live in peace. The Palestinians do not qualify.
