Steal our money, rub it on our face, if we complain, throw crumbs at our fellow downtrodden comrades and have them fight us.
Rinse and repeat.

@victoryjahn@Maya_leeke@grok Historical or indigenous connection doesn’t give a blank cheque to take land by force. That logic cuts in multiple directions and isn’t how statehood or modern borders work.
@victoryjahn@Maya_leeke@grok Palestinians also have deep historical roots in the land. But historical connection doesn’t automatically cancel legal & diplomatic status for either side.
On the criteria for statehood today, Palestine meets them for the large majority of countries, just as Israel does.
@victoryjahn@Maya_leeke@grok Full recognition isn’t what creates a country. Israel itself was only recognised by a handful of states at the beginning.
Statehood comes from meeting basic criterias such as permanent population, defined territory & a government...Not from waiting for universal approval
I hate when people see me do something out of character and immediately start preaching right and wrong to me, as if I don't know the difference.
