Every single major news outlet should be reporting on this, and the fact that none have is abhorrent. This country exists because of Native Americans. Treating them like they are foreign invaders is so fucking disgusting. WE are the foreign invaders. This is their home, and I will never understand why our leaders treat them as if they are subhuman.
This administration is a fucking cesspool of the worst people imaginable. Every democrat senator and representative should be fighting this. This country would literally not exist without the help Native Americans gave to settlers. This government sickens me.
You packed a lot of confusion into four sentences, Ezra, so let me untangle it slowly.
First, this line:
"So where is Israel's ancestral homeland if not Israel?"
You are doing what Zionism always does.
You take a religious or mythic claim that some Jews have a spiritual connection to a piece of land and you inflate it into a modern property deed for a 21st-century ethnostate.
Ancestry is not a land title.
If it were, half the planet would be on ships going back to somewhere else.
Most Jews alive today do not have continuous, lived, generational ties to that land.
Most Palestinians do.
That is the difference you keep skipping.
"Ancestral homeland" for you is a slogan.
For them it is the house key, the family orchard, the graveyard, and the village your side turned into a pine forest.
Second:
"They don't have a right to exist you suggest?"
No state on earth has a mystical "right to exist."
States are political arrangements.
They are born, split, reunify, collapse, get renamed.
People have the right to exist.
People have the right to safety, dignity, and return.
When someone asks "Does Israel have a right to exist," what they usually mean is:
"Do Jews have the right to live in Palestine without being slaughtered or expelled?"
The answer to that is obviously yes.
But that is not what your slogan is doing.
"Right to exist" in this context means:
"Does a self-defined Jewish state have the right to maintain a demographic majority and political supremacy even if it requires dispossession, siege, and permanent second-class status for the original inhabitants?"
That is not a right.
That is a demand for eternal impunity.
You can have equal rights for everyone between the river and the sea.
Or you can have a Jewish ethnocracy.
You cannot have both.
The "right to exist" language is just your way of avoiding saying out loud which one you choose.
Third:
"Palestinians have long lived alongside Israel in Gaza strip for millennia"
Israel has not existed for millennia.
Gaza has not always been a fenced-in strip.
You are mashing words together to hide the timeline.
For millennia, there were people living in that land: Canaanites, Philistines, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, and many others in between.
What you call "Israel" today is a modern state built in 1948 on top of their continuity.
Gaza as we know it now is not some cute example of coexistence.
It is the concentrated result of ethnic cleansing.
It is where many of the refugees from the villages your side emptied ended up.
They did not "live alongside Israel."
They were fenced, bombed, starved, and periodically massacred by it.
So let me answer you plainly.
Israel's "ancestral homeland" is the same soil where Palestinians planted their olive trees, buried their parents, and passed down their houses long before your state had a flag.
I am not saying Jews have no place there.
I am saying no group gets to turn myth into a weapon, erase the people already living there, and then hide behind the sacred phrase "right to exist" every time someone points to the bodies.
If Palestine truly stood as a free, equal land for all its inhabitants, from river to sea, Israel as an exclusivist project would not "stop existing."
It would simply lose its alibi.
🔥🚨HOLY SMOKES: Maryland Democrats just introduced the “ICE Breaker Act of 2026” to block ICE agents hired under Trump from later becoming state or local law enforcement in Maryland.
🔥🔥🎯
It’s Maryland saying: we’re not importing federal deportation culture into our police departments.
A $ 100,000 missile, launched by a $ 20,000,000 plane, traveling at a cost of $ 6,000 per hour, to kill people living on less than $ 1 a day in the Gaza Strip.

From #Italy🇮🇹:
Parents and teachers, boys and girls from 39 children's services in Brescia and its province wrote for weeks, on white strips of fabric, the names and ages of the 20 thousand boys and girls killed in Gaza, giving life to the installation
“I would bet you, if you did a DNA test for all the Palestinians and a DNA test for all the Israelis, the Palestinians have more actual genetic ties to that landmass than the Israelis who are mostly Eastern European... Even Netanyahu's real name is Mylakowski.”
—Owen Shroyer
I mean, Israel has literally (and illegally) bombed multiple - *multiple* - Middle East countries this year *alone*. Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Gaza and the West Bank).
“Every story that we've covered, everything that we've investigated and looked into does not really show Palestinians behaving as animals. It shows the IDF behaving as animals..”
— Journalist Ana Kasparian
Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.
The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.
"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb."
– Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a surgeon who volunteered in Gaza, at the UN Security Council
