Am Yisrael Chai!
Free Palestinians (and everyone else) from "Free Palestine".

@rfpalestine @afalkhatib Any vision/realignment that doesn't fundamentally accept Jews as human, entitled to individual, collective & national rights; or that rejects any of the following corollaries; is mere porcine lipstick.
The illusion of hope might last for a time, but will inevitably collapse.

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW identity: not the foreign "German" but "Deutsch".

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW The Ottomans had a bunch of different, sometimes overlapping, names that changed over time.
https://t.co/K9n5es63u1
But in any case, the question isn't the name itself; it's whether that name could support a national identity. German has a word for the German national

@fite_cs @FranceskAlbs Would that be the Beirut villayet, the Damascus villayet, or the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem?

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW finally, any moral argument breaks down once we realize the car-less person has designs on any possible car I might have.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW Really? When did the car become not-mine?
In this analogy there is only one car, & some sort of timeshare agreement is on the table.
But why does the other car matter, even if it exists? It's still a violation of my property rights even if I have a million other cars.

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW which to exercise their Muslim-identity rights; they can't deny the land to the Jews.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW colonialist identity; & now you want to claim indigineity based on that foreign colonialist identity.
But if you're going to conflate the Palestinian national identity with the Muslim identity, a) Islam says the land was given to the Jews, & b) Muslims have many countries in

@ido_givoni נו, באמת. עכשיו פתאום כאן 11 מצטטים במדויק וממסגרים בתורה הוגנת?

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW a group of people doesn't have a national identity is the same as carrying out demonstrated intent to destroy that group of people. Bring out the thought police!

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW Yes, Jews & Arabs from the geographic region known as Palestine; & only because the British Mandate used the European name. The Jews & Arabs had no shared identity, despite British fantasies of trying to create one.
But that's an incredible leap you're making: merely saying

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW the johnny-cone-latelies who streamed in from all over the Middle East because the pay was at least 4 times higher than anywhere else; & who invented a new national identity precisely because the Jewish claim was so compelling.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW If I fight against a mugger trying to steal my wallet, does that mean I think the mugger deserves less rights?
Israel's basic argument is that the Jewish people have a millennia-old & overriding claim, not least because it was first.
Certainly a more compelling claim than

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW No.
Do I have to give up my car to someone who doesn't have one, to enable his right to freedom of mobility?

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW Yes, the hundreds who were close enough to the border, & the thousands who wildly celebrated when the victorious warriors returned,because there was no one & nothing left to rspe & pillage.
& the highest estimates put the number of people in Gaza at 2.1 million.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW Yes, the hundreds of Palestinians who came in on their bicycles, flip-flops & crutches, to gleefully participate in committing atrocities against those uppity Jews.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW There's a whole laundry list of government institutions & bodies that have overlapping & conflicting roles in "running" Judea & Samaria; Nachala isn't one of them.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW No. There are no formal ties between Nachala & Smotrich or Ben Gvir, besides a shared understanding that there must never be a Palestinian state which will inevitably threaten Israel; & the best way of preventing the PA from taking over land in Area C is to take it over first.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW identities have far more power than the Palestinian identity.
But your comparison is flawed: nobody in Israel argues that Palestinians inherently deserve less rights than Jews, only that it isn't Jews' obligation to give up their own rights because the Palestinians have none ATM.

[Zev Spitz @SpitzZev]

@JetQuarantine @SettlersFW Ah, yes; let's resort to whataboutism.
But there's certainly grounds for skepticism re the Palestinian identity,bconsidering nobody called them by the foreign colonial name "Palestinian" until the Soviet psyop in the late 1960s, & even now the distinct long-standing tribal
